Anti-war activists from all across the US converge in Chicago, where the Democratic Party is holding its convention. Police and National Guards are on standby.
The organisers of the massive anti-war protests expect 30,000 to 40,000 people to gather in Chicago, where the Democratic National Convention starts on Monday.
The protesters want the US to suspend military aid to Israel, and the organisers have been vocal critics of President Joe Biden’s continuing support for Tel Aviv. Several commentators have drawn comparisons between this week’s expected events with the confrontation between anti-Vietnam war demonstrators and the police.
The protesters also say they have been given permits to march along narrow streets only and haven’t been allowed to use the main road.
