Small anti-war demonstrations in Warsaw and across the nation

About 300 people gathered in front of the American embassy in Warsaw and protested against American military action against Iraq. The demonstrators held a large orange banner which read, "Global anti-war protest". Most of them were young people who appeared to be part of informal pacifist and anarchist organizations. However, they were also accompanied by a few representatives of Amnesty International and some Iraqis. Similar protests were held in almost 30 regional towns and cities. (www.polskieradio.pl) M.M.
