Protesters Converge for Bush Visit. GOTEBORG -- Sweden's prime minister met Wednesday with some of the thousands of protesters gathering to demonstrate at a European Union summit, launching an appeal against violence during a visit by President Bush. Police expect about 12,000 people to join rallies starting Thursday, when Bush arrives from Brussels, Belgium, on the third stop of his five-country European tour. The protests are spearheaded by ATTAC, a French-based group that opposes economic globalization. Other groups, including Iranian exiles and the Chinese meditation sect Falun Gong, also have permission to demonstrate during Bush's visit and the EU summit that follows Friday and Saturday. Organizers say the main rally will begin Thursday evening at a downtown square about 500 yards from the conference center where Bush will hold a news conference. Protesters have been preparing for days in this western port city of about 500,000 people. About 3,000 of them were sleeping in lodging provided by authorities in public schools. So far, police have reported no serious incidents, although they arrested five Danes this week for suspicion of planning "sabotage" during the summit. "We expect the bulk to arrive Thursday and Friday," city official Rune Karlsson said. * * * * Your use of Yahoo!
