Live rounds fired in Sweden

Reports, at first unconfirmed, of three protesters shot with live rounds in Gothenburg, Sweden are now surfacing on mainstream media.

Earlier, Indymedia Sweden provided video of bloodied protesters and the sounds of gunfire.

Escalation of actions occurred after police barricaded, and then attacked the protest Convergence Centre.

Indymedia also reports that the most severely wounded activist died en route to hospital.

There are calls to storm Swedish embassies around the world.
