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.
Protest is held in Colombo today ~ 6th September 2011 to highlight the issues related to current development process in Sri Lanka. The protest is organised by Land Forum of Sri Lanka, National fisheries Solidarity Movement and Praja Abhilasha Network. Fishermen, Farmers and activists participated actively in today’s protest.
“In post war Sri Lanka, the government development plans are underway with the aim of country’s prosperity and betterment of the people. But, most of the development projects which are carried out by the Government are harming the peoples’ lives, one way or the other. Most of them seem are not followed the basic principles of the development, which are adopted by the Government itself.
The reality of development threats to the people’s hereditary inheritance in many areasincluding, the situations of 14 Islands in Kalpity, large area in East coast including hundreds of acres of land area in Vakarai, Sampor, Panama, Arugambay. And also it will reveal the reality of sea plane landing projectsthat planning to implement in 20 inland reservoirs, destroying environment and fisheries sector in Parakarama Samudra, Polonnaruwa, Nachchaduwa, Nuwara wewa, reservoirs, in Negombo lagoon, in the name of the tourismindustry development. At the same time the natural capital of Sri Lanka, which is Sinharaja world heritage site, Knuckles range, Somawathie, Nilgala forest, etc are also in the verge of destruction due to tourism projects.
In Uva Wellassa, another thousands of acres of land being allocated for sugar cane cultivations as well as forMaize cultivation for bio fuel productions. All these efforts are carried out without any prior, free informed consent of the people. So, there are a lot of tension and difficulties on general public, majority are farmers, agricultural workers, fisher folk communities, workers etc in the country” say the organisers of today’s protest.

I took two Swedish tourists along with me to the celebration for the 29th anniversary of the revolution. The Swedes had come to Iran to ski for a week and were only in the city for just over 24 hours, for which I suggested this among other things and they were more than happy to join.
I was a little nervous about the blond hair causing us problems but oddly enough I seemed to get clocked more often with, "hey look! Foreigners!".
The nearest three tube stations were closed off and thus we had a long journey to the Azadi tower.
At a guess there must have been just under 2-million people out that day in Tehran alone. Across the country, I might hazard a further guess of over 5-million - maybe more.
I only heard "Death to England" once and was pleased that England was still among the chants. Mostly it was directed towards Israel.
The president did about a 1-hour and 20-minute speech that we heard all the way from the tube to the tower. As we arrived he was rounding up.
I was unable to translate much to my guests as the Farsi was very 'bookish'. It was the usual mix of the Zionist regime causing problems for our Muslim brothers in Palatine. There was the usual stuff about America and some odd things mentioned about the national economic plans.
The Swedes really enjoyed the day and got many photos and films of the moment. It was a nice contrast from the uptown activity that filled the rest of their visit I think.

The lead-up to Saturdays protests against the TPPA shows the commitment of people across the country to send a message that the government cant ignore, said ItsOurFuture spokesperson Edward Miller.Nationwide day of action against TPPA: “Ignore us at your peril” government warned
“The lead-up to Saturday’s protests against the TPPA shows the commitment of people across the country to send a message that the government can’t ignore”, said ItsOurFuture spokesperson Edward Miller.
A video shows young activists publicising Saturday’s nationwide protests with footage from Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin, Christchurch, and Nelson.
Action in the 22 centres starts at 10am in Raglan and many of the larger centre marches begin at 1pm, including Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
“People have been incredibly creative”, Miller said. “In Christchurch a giant plain-packaged cigarette packet will be marching in the crowd, while Auckland will be led by an enormous Trojan Horse, locked in a tug-of-war between major commercial interests and activist communities.”
“Around the country everyday kiwis will be photographed for a virtual campaign with signs saying ‘I am a ___________ and I say #TPPANoDeal.’ Already this campaign has been very popular.”
“Trade minister Tim Groser needs to recognise that people don’t buy the ‘trust me’ line. They want to be listened to when they say they don’t want the TPPA. And they deserve to be listened to.”

Signs pinned to trees on Pacific University's campus. I think they're in protest of trees getting cut down for new buildings. We've lost a lot of trees the past couple of years to development.

Protest the Hero is a Canadian progressive metal band from Whitby, Ontario.[3] Originally named Happy Go Lucky,[4] the band changed their name to Protest the Hero shortly before releasing their debut EP, Search for the Truth, in 2002. In 2005, the band released their first full-length album Kezia on the indie label Underground Operations.
On January 23, 2006, the band signed with Vagrant Records for Kezia's American release on April 4, 2006. Their second full-length album, Fortress was released by Underground Operations in Canada and by Vagrant Records worldwide on January 29, 2008.[5] The band released their third studio album, Scurrilous, on March 22, 2011.
Expressing frustrations with record labels, in January of 2013 the band announced that they would crowdfund their fourth full-length album.[6] The Indiegogo campaign was a runaway success, and the independently-released Volition debuted on October 29, 2013, distributed with the help of Razor & Tie.
We refused to leave the street and go home until our demand of capital punishment for war criminals are met. Took this photograph on yesterday evening, February 06, 2013, when thousands joined at Shahbag intersection in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It turned into a spontaneous mass protest with thousands of people continuing their sit-in programme to demand capital punishment for Jamaat-e-Islami politician Abdul Quader Molla and other war criminals. University teachers and students, journalists, cultural and political activists, particularly the young generation, gathered at the intersection. We claimed capital punishment for Abdul Quader Molla for he has been found guilty of five out of six charges, including a series of killings including some large-scale massacres in the Mirpur area of Dhaka during the country’s Liberation War in 1971. The given verdict has humiliated the whole nation and disappointed people seeking justice for the mass murder and rape by the collaborators, and also belittled the sacrifices of freedom fighters and intellectuals. The fiery protest is now spread throughout the nation, thousands of people in different districts are on streets demanding justice for war crime.
