In the Netherlands, hundreds of people gathered outside a NATO summit Thursday to protest the occupation of Afghanistan. The demonstrators took part in a mock-death action outside the hotel where NATO military officials are meeting.

Protester Bart Griffioen: “It’s symbolic that NATO leaders are hiding behind these walls to meet and decide to move on with the mission in Afghanistan, while the majority of the Dutch population, and I see the same in the United States and Canada, are against the war.”
