Court appearances for G8 accused

One of the protesters during Monday's unrest in Edinburgh

Protesters arrested during anti-G8 violence in Edinburgh have been appearing in court.

Police said 100 arrests were made during the trouble in and around Princes Street in the city centre.

Many of those appearing from custody at Edinburgh Sheriff Court are charged with breach of the peace. Others face drugs, weapons and obstruction charges.

Security at the court building is tight and public access restricted. Three courts are dealing with the accused.

Demonstrators fought running battles with 1,000 police on Monday.

The police have been accused of using too much force but they insist their response was "proportionate".

Vehicle rocking

Shouts could be heard from a Reliance prisoner escort van as it arrived at the court. The vehicle then began rocking as if the sides were being pushed from within.

As some of the accused left following their court appearances, they complained about the police tactics, which they said were unnecessarily heavy-handed.

The first six people to appear in court were from Britain although other accused are believed to be from continental Europe.
