Groups of protesters both for and against President Bashar al-Assad of Syria protest outside their Embassy in London during the current 'Arab Spring'.
Like many left-wing protests (including some I've participated in), this one seems to have been a bit unfocused. The sign reads:
Autonomy for Tibet
Free the Jena 6
Free Troy Anthony Davis and Kenneth Foster
Innocent Men on Death Row
Abolish Death Penalty
A group of Romanians protested the use of cyanide in gold mining operations in Romania. For several hours on a brisk spring day, they gathered in front of mine company investor John Paulson, hedge fund manager, investor, and held up banners and passed out flyers.
The protest was part of a larger international movement against the Romanian government’s controversial decision to allow a Canadian firm to build Europe’s largest opencast gold mine.
Environmentalists and activists are warning that the mine, if opened, would lead to the destruction of four mountain peaks and three villages. Terrible as that would be, their greatest fear is the planned use of cyanide, a highly toxic substance, that is required for the mining process—12,000 tons of it each year.
The fear is well grounded in recent history. In 2000, a cyanide spill near the town of Baia Mare, Romania, occurred when a dam containing toxic mining waste burst, releasing 100 tons of cyanide-contaminated waste water into the Lapus, the Somes, as well as the Tisza and Danube rivers.
Considered the worst environmental disaster since the Chernobyl nuclear leak in 1986, the poisoning of the river Tisza resulted in the destruction of the river's entire ecosystem in a matter of days, everything from microbes to otters, according to the BBC.

Last one from the protest outside Downing Street on July 13, the day Theresa May was appointed PM. This one was a little strange. Because of the way he was wearing the sign it was impossible to get an unobstructed shot of the text, so here's what it says:
"Boris Johnson was sent by Christ to get Britain out of Europe and fulfill bible prophecy."
Not quite sure what the costume was about.

Protest in the ethnically cleansed city of Prijedor. Marchers walk with backpacks with the names and ages of children killed in the genocide. The protest was granted on the condition they didn't say the word "genocide". In the center of the town the backpacks were set down to spell out "GENOCID?".
