Some 40 militants left Thursday, around 17:30 local time, in a march from their base in Bucharest’s Timpuri Noi area carrying flags with anti-NATO writings.
The flags carried by protesters read, in Romanian and English, “Ne-ati zdrobit oasele, dar nu si ideile / NATO out of Bucharest” (you have crushed our bones, but not our ideas) and “Stop the war, stop NATO”.
The protesters were chanting “Stop the war” and “Stop NATO,” while one of them pounded on a drum.

The group reached the National Forensics Institute where they required official examination of the wounds they claimed were inflicted by police during an intervention Wednesday.
