The rally of up to 40 people on downtown Budapest's Chain Bridge ended peacefully, after police told demonstrators to leave because the rally had not been pre-arranged with the authorities beforehand, television channel RTL Klub said. The police removed a large banner from the bridge hung there by the organizers, the anti-militarist group Alba Kor, which showed NATO's symbol and called it a "Death Star". Hungarian authorities have said they were prepared to prevent any extremist groups from disrupting the meeting. Another local anti-militarist group, the Humanist Movement, has announced that it plans to hold a rally on Tuesday to protest against NATO and U.S. foreign policy, but police said violence was not expected. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
