Thousands hold demonstrations in several cities against the alleged widespread surveillance of internet users by NSA.

Thousands of people have gathered in Germany to protest against the alleged widespread surveillance of internet users by US intelligence services.

Protesters, responding to calls by a loose network calling itself ‘stopwatchingus’, went on the streets on Saturday to demonstrate in Hamburg, Munich, Berlin and up to 35 other German cities and towns.


German opposition parties remain sceptical of the government's claim that it had known nothing about the surveillance.
