Rostock, Germany - The protest coalition overseeing sit-downs outside the three-day G8 summit in Germany has said the blockade of the gates will end by Friday morning.
The protesters would offer no obstruction when summit officials depart, a spokesman for the Block G8 group said Thursday in the nearby port city of Rostock.
'We already achieved our big political success yesterday,' said spokesman Christoph Kleine, referring to the invasion of a no-protests zone around the venue and the blocking of roads on Wednesday as the summit began.
Many protesters wanted to leave for Rostock on Friday to attend a dockside anti-G8 rally there, he said.
