Gothenburg riots 2001
Gothenburg riots: During the EU summit on 14–16 June, violent clashes between anti-globalisation protesters and police left 53 officers and 90 demonstrators injured. Police opened fire on protesters — the first such use of firearms since the Ådalen shootings of 1931 — with one 19-year-old critically wounded and 70 people ultimately convicted.
