The G8 conference will be met by activists from all over Europe as they converge upon Germany in an effort to address issues they feel are ignored in favour of imperialism and leo-liberal abuses. Hopefully, no one will lose their life this year. - The Angryindian

Up to a 100,000 demonstrators from anti-globalisation groups will march in the German city of Rostock on Saturday.

They are protesting against next week's G8 summit of leading industrial nations in Heiligendamm, 25km (16 miles) away.

The German authorities say there are serious concerns that far-left groups are planning violent attacks.

There is already a heavy police presence in the city, and the authorities say they will react quickly if there is any trouble.

Thousands of protestors are gathering in a camp by the harbour in Rostock.

At the main entrance, there's a sign with the words "No police and no neo-Nazis".

The activists have pitched their tents in a large field and the majority are planning to stay until next week's G8 summit.

Many protestors have travelled here from all over Europe.
