Anarchists in London showed their support for anti-G8 protesters in Russia, where any attempt to challenge the dominant voices of the world's leaders is being brutally suppressed.

They targeted the Russo-British Chamber of Commerce near London Bridge, entering the offices and unfurling banners that could be widely seen by in the busy street below. Whilst several of the group discussed the reasons for the protest with those in the Chamber of Commerce, others handed out leaflets to members of the public whodemonstrated their support and sympathy with the protesters. The Chamber of Commerce is the main link between Russian and British corporations, whose interests are being promoted at the G8 summit atthe expense of the majority of the Russian and British people.The politicans decide our fate and their bully boys ensure that no alternative voices are heard.

The protest went on for over 45 minutes, and then was cut short by the arrival of three riot vans and several police cars. The British police then showed that they share many similarities with their Russian counterparts. One protester was thrown to the ground and assaulted by three police officers.Two people have been arrested.

One protester commented on the purpose of the protest: ‘We want to show activists and people of Russia that they have international support in their fight against the repression of their government.’

They are everywhere, so we are everywhere.

This demonstration was attended by members of the Anarchist Federation and other anarchists. The photograph is taken from the Indymedia London site.
