Reuters. 15 March 2003. 100,000 Germans form "chain of lights" against war. BERLIN -- More than 100,000 people lit candles and held hands in Berlin on Saturday, forming a "chain of lights" to protest against a war in Iraq. Children, workers, peace activists and elderly people formed a line stretching 35 km (22 miles) across the city, passing the U.S. embassy and the landmark Brandenburg Gate. "The urge for peace and the mobilisation against a war is incredibly great," said organiser Jutta Kausch. "The fact you can get so many people out on the streets on a Saturday night tells you something." Several protesters had drawn the slogan "No War" on to a U.S. flag. Several hundred protesters earlier on Saturday staged a sit-in protest at a U.S. air base near Frankfurt which the United States uses to transport troops and supplies to the Gulf region. Police carried the protesters away. Some 10,000 people rallied in the centre of the southwestern city of Karslruhe, and in Nuremberg in the south, 4,000 protesters held each other's hand and formed a "chain for peace" around the town's historic centre. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
