Protesters hold a banner calling for the release of Bradley Manning, the US Army soldier awaiting trial for releasing classified information to WikiLeaks, during a protest in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Tuesday afternoon. About two hundred people, including Occupy Wall Street activists and anti-war pacifists, turned out for the protest. The march was stopped a block from the Charlotte Convention Center, where delegates are meeting for the first day of the three-day Democratic National Convention. [Photo/Chen Weihua]
