A TEAM of Swindon protesters will be in the thick of things in an international demonstration in Paris on Saturday.

People from around the world will flock to Paris at the weekend for the second European Social Forum.

The forum gives a voice to minority political organisations and pressure groups.

A delegation from the Swindon Stop The War Coalition including secretary Andy Newman is taking part. The event will include rallies, demonstrations and discussions.

The coalition was responsible for sending more than 300 Swindonians to London in February.
