U.S. Asks Britain To Ban Protest During Bush Visit

HeadlineNov 13, 2003

The Independent of London is reporting that the U.S. is attempting to severely curtail protests during President Bush’s visit to London. Police have told protest organizers that a rolling “exclusion zone” will be set up in order to ensure that television cameras will never capture images of Bush or his motorcade and protesters. Marches have also been banned in parts of central London. Labour MP Jeremy Corbyn said “[The police] are under pressure from the Americans, and the losers appear to be people of Britain who want to show their opposition to the Iraq war.”
