Icelanders Protest in Their Thousands as Parliament Sealed Off

“Icelanders protested in their thousands outside the parliament as police sealed off the building with steel fencing to protect lawmakers trying to finish the winter session and suspend for the summer break.  Police estimate that about 2,000 people gathered outside the Reykjavik-based legislature late on Tuesday, waving banners and demanding that the government step down.  The protest organizers, who arranged the event through Facebook, listed ’99 reasons for a revolution’ to attract people to their cause. The demonstration comes amid demands for pay increases as high as 50% in some industries as unions threaten employers with strikes affecting up to one-third of the labor force.”
