A Polish miner holding a Solidarity trade union flag stands in front of police forces in an effort to prevent them from moving forwards during a demonstration in front of the Polish parliament in Warsaw, 26 July 2005. Polish miners wielding stones, firecrackers and smoke grenades were protesting planned changes to their right to retire after 25 years of work. A restructuring of the mining industry has brought about pit closures, massive layoffs and cuts in wages and benefits in the Silesia region. AFP PHOTO WOJTEK RADWANSKI
