WASHINGTON - Protesters will march through Washington, stage a "die in" across from the White House and turn their backs on President George W. Bush's limousine during his inaugural celebration next week, organizers said on Wednesday.
As U.S. authorities prepared unprecedented security for the Jan. 20 event, organizers said thousands of protesters will stage a noisy counterpoint to the lavish $40 million celebration.
One group of anti-war activists said it would carry 1,000 coffins to the White House and stage a "die in" to protest the lives lost in Iraq.
Another group said it had obtained a permit to protest along a 200-foot (60-metre) section of the parade route but planned to sue for more access to the large sections of Pennsylvania Avenue set aside for Bush supporters.
