G7 Protests Turn Violent in Hiroshima as Riot Police Clash with Demonstrators

Violent scuffles broke out between riot police and protesters on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Hiroshima. Riot police were seen pinning protesters to the ground during the brawl.

The demonstration was organized by the far-left extremist group "Revolutionary Communist League National Committee" which opposes the G7 summit, labeling it as a gathering promoting nuclear war and imperialism. The G7 leaders, along with invited nations, convened to discuss various foreign policy matters, including the war in Ukraine and their relations with China.

How should governments balance the right to peaceful protest with the need to maintain law and order during international summits and gatherings?
