Thousands of protesters gathered in Geneva on Sunday to denounce the policies of G7 countries ahead of the group's annual summit in France. The demonstration, organized by the "No-G7" coalition, included Palestinian rights advocates, feminists, and environmentalists who expressed fear over the leaders' actions and their impact on the planet. Swiss and French authorities have deployed thousands of police and implemented security measures, including road closures and bans on unauthorized gatherings, in preparation for the three-day summit beginning Monday in Evian-les-Bains. Businesses in the area have boarded up storefronts as a precaution against potential unrest, recalling damage from a similar summit in 2003. Demonstrators criticized the G7 as a forum that benefits the wealthy at the expense of the poor.
