Some 7,000 people took to the streets of Geneva, Switzerland, on June 14 to protest against the G7 summit, which will be held from June 15 to 17. During the demonstration, a group of participants clashed with the police, threw stones and sticks, set a vehicle on fire and caused damage to buildings linked to the UN. The security forces responded with tear gas and announced the seizure of knives and pyrotechnic material. The authorities are investigating the incidents recorded in the run-up to the meeting of world leaders.
