Filipino activists (R) clash with riot police during a anti-APEC protest rally near the venue of the on-going Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Manila, Philippines, 19 November 2015. Security was beefed up at the meeting venues after Islamist militants in the southern Philippines beheaded a Malaysian hostage on the eve of the opening of the APEC summit. - EPA
With clenched fists in the air, the protesters chanted “Junk APEC”, referring to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation group of 21 economies whose leaders were meeting in Manila.
Police carrying wooden truncheons and shields fired water cannons at the protesters when they tried to break through barricades preventing anyone reaching the summit venue, about one kilometre (0.62 miles) away.
