100s hold anti-NATO rally in Newport, Wales

[Iran Press TV] Hundreds of anti-war activists have held a demonstration in Newport to protest against the NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all....
summit being held in the Welsh city.

Hundreds? Golly.

The protesters on Thursday marched from the center of the city to Celtic Manor Hotel, which is the main venue for the two-day summit.

Among the protesters were members of the Socialist Party, Socialist Workers Party, Stop the War Coalition parties as well as pro-Paleostinian groups.

"Too much money is being spent on arms and not enough on the health service," said Dai John, a worker for the UK's National Health Service who took part in the protest.

"I cannot see that NATO is protecting people. NATO is killing people. NATO is engaged in war, it is doing war. They are sending drones, they are sending fighters," said Reiner Braun, co-president of the International Peace Bureau and a speaker from the German peace movement, who also attended the campaign.

Anti-NATO activists in the city also organized a counter summit, which began on August 30 and included discussions on drones, nuclear weapons and various ongoing Western military interventions.
