Up to 300 hundred people are still detained by police as thousands converge in Sweden‚s second largest city to protest at the European Union summit. Migration, corporate Europe and militarisation are among the many issues raised by protesters. Special attention was given to the presence of US president George Bush, who was received with a mass moonie for his stance on the environment and death penaly.
