French police fired tear gas canisters today to break up a demonstration of 400 anti-globalisation protesters who threw sticks and bottles at officers in the eastern city of Strasbourg.
Some 20 of the protesters were detained, police said.
Police said up to 1,500 members of an anarchist group calling itself ‘No Borders’ were camping outside the city.
The group is calling for "free movement and solidarity between people". It said on its website that some activists had entered four Strasbourg hotels owned by the Accor group on Monday and destroyed property.
