Munich plans protest ban

The German city of Munich could see a ban on all demonstrations at the
weekend, as police warn that planned protests against a high-level defence
meeting could descend into the kind of violence seen in the Italian city of

outlaw all protests.

will take legal action against any ban, which they say would infringe their
civic rights.
