It was the largest rally here in many years, residents said.

"Why are you letting your president speak at a large rally?"

According to a police spokesman, it was one of the largest rallies in recent memory.

"We have had a very large rally, and the market finally got beaten up."

This was the largest rally in the history of the state.

On 1 January 1986, full political rights, including the right to hold large public rallies, were restored.

It was the second large pro-Government rally in two days.

"It will be the largest rally over a contract that this city has ever seen."

The exercise, part of larger rally that police say drew about 50 people, took no more than 20 minutes.

The largest rally was in Berlin, where a crowd of 50,000 people, larger than expected, turned out.
