WORLD WIDE PROTESTS

Indymedia:

Here are estimates so far of the number of people participating in today's demonstrations against the war in Iraq. The biggest events have been in Rome ( 2,500,000 ), London ( 1,500,000 ), and Berlin ( 500,000 ). The world-wide total is now approaching 7 million (with the Americas yet to come)!

Here are estimates so far of the number of people participating in today's demonstrations against the war in Iraq. I used the higher figures given by organizers, as opposed to the lower police estimates. Most are from mainstream media sources, although I did check several IndyMedia newswires for figures as well.

For the biggest demonstration, in Rome, I split the difference between the 2,000,000 figure which has been widely reported, and the 3,000,000 figure that I found on the Italian IndyMedia site: http://italy.indymedia.org/news/2003/02/177868.php
