COP15: Protesters take to Montreal streets as UN biodiversity conference kicks off
Donning all black and holding banners that read “Block COP15,” the group of some 60 demonstrators marched and chanted outside the Palais des congrès. Those who took part described themselves as anti-capitalists and ecologists.
A large police presence followed the protesters, with more officers waiting in buses near the perimetre of the convention centre, where a giant fence has been installed. The police officers stepped out of buses as the demonstration approached the building, where access is restricted.The march eventually made its way to the nearby Cégep du Vieux Montréal and Université du Québec à Montréal, where some students are on strike during the conference.
