Protesters gathered on the Haigis Mall of the University of Massachusetts to mourn the death of New Jersey state police officer, Philip Lamonoco, and protest the lecture, “The Great Western Massachusetts Sedition Trial: 20 years later” that took place at the Isenberg School of Management on Thursday, November 12, 2009. The lecture, originally planned to include Ray Luc Levasseur, former leader of the United Freedom Front, was forced to continue without Levasseur because of the U.S. parole board’s decision to not allow him to cross state lines as part of his parole restrictions.

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?".

Groups of protesters both for and against President Bashar al-Assad of Syria protest outside their Embassy in London during the current 'Arab Spring'.
Patent examiners and other staff of the European Patent Office demonstrated today outside the European Commission offices, demanding a thorough re-examination of the EPO. They claim that the organisation is decentralising and focusing on granting as many patents as possible to gain financially from fees generated. In 2007 the national patent offices had an income of 300 million Euros from patents granted by the EPO.
The staff union, SUEPO, say that lowering the quality of patents will have a disastarous effect on innovation which will affect every consumer.. Their 'Save The EPO' campaign is not aimed at increasing wages but in reinforcing patent quality.
They held talks with Commission officials, requesting a general study on patent quality and a review of the administation of the EPO, highlighting the importance of inovation as a generator of employment in Europe.
One of the fur protestors, looks like she does not want to be recognized!
Their banner says:
FUR COATS ARE ALWAYS STOLEN
.... from the back of tortured animals"
I am usually in Grafton Street on a Sunday, these were taken Saturday, instead of the usual selection of buskers, it was more political than usual with an anti fur protest outside Brown Thomas' (an very exclusive shop, like Harrods in London) and a Falun Gong gathering campaigning for the release of Fang Yang.
Always enjoy shooting a protest, even on vacation. From what I can tell this protest pertained to immigration-related legislation being considered in the Alþingi, Iceland's parliament.
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.
Protests held in Phnom Penh during August 2013 due to the controversial counting of votes done by the government after the general elections.
The party in power (CPPP) won against the opposition (CNRP) with several seats of difference in parliament. There are reasons to believe these results were, at least, questionable.
Shortly before Harold engaged the French at Hastings, a group of students and aged liberals conducted protest marches against the impending invasion.
Sorry for the lack of "me" in my 365 for today.
I'm protesting at the CA capitol (Sacramento) tomorrow, and I've been making protest signs all day.. and preparing myself for one of the most emotionally draining days of my life.
The Governator(lol) is planning on cutting some major medical services that directly affect my family. If he succeeds, many people will die. Thousands of mentally ill people will lose their "in home" care, and in result they will be forced into institutions which will actually cost Ca MORE MONEY. Making this whole situation so ridiculous and infuriating.
I plan to take as many pictures as possible tomorrow, hopefully I won't drench my camera in too many tears. But it's bound to happen.
This is the only crucial plan Arnold has up his sleeve. He also plans to cut CA colleges freshmen by 6% making it nearly impossible for people to be accepted. This includes community colleges (which he plans to take away all their grants and financial help as well). So grrreat. We will all be DUMB AND SICK.
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.

Anti-vax protest in St. John's on Nov 21, 2021. I stopped to take some photos. I didn't see any news organizations covering the protest. It's just old news now.
