德國政府3日封鎖通往G8高峰會召開地點海利根達姆的多數道路，2日在羅斯托克抗議民眾暴動造成上百人受傷後，德國警方也在羅斯托克到海利根達姆的主要道路上，針對通行車輛進行武檢。
德國警方表示，超過400名警官受傷，其中30名因骨折和外傷住院；抗議活動籌辦單位則說，有520名抗議民眾受傷，其中20人傷勢嚴重。
來自全歐洲和世界各地的抗議人士，揮舞著旗幟和人偶，以戲劇表演方式來表達對資本主義、全球化、伊拉克戰爭以及G8高峰會的不滿，但大部分的示威民眾態度仍算平和。
全球前8大工業國領袖預計都將出席此次高峰會，包括加拿大、法國、德國、義大利、日本、俄羅斯、英國、美國和歐盟執委會。這些國家領導者將針對氣候變遷、能源效率、全球經濟成長責任，以及推動世界貿易組織持續協商等議題進行討論。
German authorities Sunday closed most roads to the G8 Summit resort town of Heiligendamm. Police stopped cars to check occupants for weapons on the main road there from the port city of Rostock, where protest demonstrations injured hundreds of people Saturday.
German police said more than 400 officers were injured, 30 of whom were hospitalized with broken bones and lacerations. Organizers said 520 demonstrators were hurt, 20 of them seriously.
With banners and puppets, protesters from across Europe and around the world tried to dramatize their opposition to capitalism, globalization, the war in Iraq and the Group of Eight itself. Most of the demonstrators remained peaceful.
Scheduled to attend the summit are the leaders of the Group of Eight countries, the world's largest industrial nations - Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States, as well as the European Commission.
The leaders will consider Climate change and energy efficiency, growth and responsibility in the global economy, and a new impetus for continued negotiations at the World Trade Organization.
