Anarchists storm Czech Consulate in Poznan, demand release of protesters

At about noon yesterday, four members of the Anarchist Federation entered the Czech Republic Consulate in Poznan. They hung an Anarchist flag out the window, and a banner demanding all protesters arrested during the World Bank, IMF meeting in Prague be set free. The same demands were written in a petition addressed to the Czech Ambassador in Poland. Police took the protesters away about an hour and a half later however they were not arrested. The police took statements from them and released them a short time later. Poznan police spokesman Andrzej Borowiak said it is not clear now if any further steps against the protesters would be taken. (Gazeta Wyborcza, page 4)
