I loved it , thank you. Great to see images of so many people the world over, and esp. to learn of demos that hadn't been listed elsewhere that I had seen.

One note, though: the Antarctica photo is actually from Jan. 19th.

Anti-war demonstrators carry banners and placards and shout slogans as they march towards the U.S. Consulate in Hong Kong on Saturday, Feb. 15, 2003. Nearly 1,000 protesters rallied to protest against U.S. President George W. Bush's threat to attack Iraq if President Saddam Hussein does not disarm.

Several people were arrested in Singapore today when they turned up at or were on route to the US Embassy to protest against any war with Iraq.

Currently these individuals are being held at Tanglin police station for questioning.

Over 3,000 (early count) at the Feb. 15th protest in San Jose, CA, the mecca of greed in the USA!

Manifest Destiny must be abolished!

No one is entitled to have so much when others have so little...

Thanks for the comments.

I have added Caracas, Bellingham, Porto (Codex?),
San Jose CA, and another picture for Hong Kong.

I couldn't find a clear picture of the Singapore protest.

I commented the Antarctica picture (previous protest)

I have also added Iceland, Sidney, Fresno, etc.

In the first 10 hours there activists have downloaded
pictures a total of 50,000 times, which probably means
about 1000 folks or so have viewed the picts. Hopefully
this will help build strength for the continuing struggle.

If you have other places to add, just make a comment,
I can try to add them, with probably about a 2-10
hour delay.

In solidarity, eltrensado

Is it possible to put all the pictures in one compresssed file for easier download?

Peaceful wishes,

españa entera ha demostrado que está en contra de laguerra y del presidente. me gustaría destacar la enorme censura que estamos sufriendo, todas las tv son del gobierno, las privadas incluidas, las radios tambien. esto se parece cada vez mas a franco

Let's throw the bastard out. He is disgracing our democracy and everything we are supposed to stand for and believe in. Our founding fathers/mothers are rumbling in their graves! This is not what they worked so hard for - and for it all to be taken away and bastardized in just over a year of the Bush administration. For the love of god - let's vow to keep heat up here in the U.S. The rest of the world is watching, Are we citizens or are we sheep?

Congratulations. Jusat what I needed to see. Great job. Brand new world. Peace, no war. And get ready for bigger and louder demos, cause bombs are ready to drop.

A ver si VIC vuelve y puede sacarme una duda:

Dijiste que hay censura en Espania, puedo llegar a admitir eso, pero no puedo entender como hace el regimen de Aznar para que los principales diarios de España sean tan pero tan oficialistas. No se puede leer El Pais, El Mundo La Vanguardia ec.

Cuando el golpe de estado en Venezuela la prensa espaniola era infinitamente peor que la de EEUU.

Creo que el fenomeno es el mismo que en EEUU, se arma un "commonsense" prensa-poderpolitico que le lava la cabeza a la mayoria de la poblacion.

A painted banner of picasso's Guernica, which portrays the horrors of war. the version of picasso's painting which hangs at the U.N. was covered during colin powell's recent address. two halifax artists (brooks kind and derek vandermolen) made this banner late december to be carried at our january 18th peace march. it became that much more relevant by february 15th given the recent censorship.

These photos are fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing the protest all over the world. We are the people of the world who want a peaceful world and justice and decent living conditions for all people.

This is just what I've been saying for months. Why is the press not saying anything? We need to rally together to get this message out .

How does the mainstream news get away with downplaying this event?
Does anyone know of an email campaign against corporate news companies or know how to engage one?

I have been following the war-drums seriously because I have a young son who may be one of the men called upon to give his life.
I spotted a list of countries bombed by the US since the end of the Second World War, and it numbers over thirty. Not one of those "interventions" created anything more than corpses and cripples. Not one put in place a democratic government. not one improved the lives of the masses.
Yes, weapons must be stopped. The initial phases must be handicapped so that there is no further manufacture. The vast numbers of guns available is horrendous, and the scale from small concealable handguns to massive rockets with nuclear warheads would put tools and energy into the hands of everybody who wanted it, were they converted into something for good as opposed to the evil they are designed for. If there was no demand for these weapons, there would be no suppliers.
Thank God there are protesters.
We stopped the war in Viet Nam, and we can do something here too. Tyrants must be stopped, and threats to other sovereign countries must be taken seriously, or life as we know it will change radically, and not for the better.
And I for one do not ever wish to bend to Islam.

On 2003-02-15, about 10 000 people protested in Cape Town, South Africa.

Two photos taken with the protesters walking past, combined. Notice how the "Stop the war" poster became a "Stop W" poster :).
