Protesters March in Hong Kong Against WTO Summit

10 December, 2005

Thousands of anti-globalization activists marched in the streets of Hong Kong Sunday as the city prepares to host the World Trade Organization's (WTO) annual summit.

The peaceful two-hour march by nearly 4,000 protesters was said to have a carnival-like atmosphere, with dozens of groups holding gaudy props while wearing colorful costumes.

The march was the first of three large demonstrations planned for the summit.
