The Norwegian anti-Islamic group "Stopp islamiseringen av Norge" will hold a rally outside of the Parliament building in Oslo today. Large counter-protests are expected. The last time the group held a rally the leader was attacked & Beaten.
The rally is set to begin in 10 minutes. I will provide y& #39;all with live updates.
Massive police presence reported ahead of the rally

So far, normal activism is taking place in the form of chants, no violence. A large security perimeter is around the group for extra security.
Crowds of people are "shaking the fence". Seems like they are trying to breach the security perimeter.
"The fence is going to fall", SIAN says.
