American Civil Liberties Union is suing officials around Sea Island Georgia where city and county officials have enacted strict restrictions on public protest in the lead up to next month’s G8 economic summit there. in March the city of Brunswick and Glynn County passed a law that forces any gathering of six or more people to get a permit if they are meeting on public property for any purpose aimed at attracting attention. Protest groups will also be required to put up deposits to cover the cost of clean-up and security if they plan to hold public demonstrations. And new laws bar anyone from carrying signs larger than two feet by three feet or any signs on sticks.
