Protesters clashed with police forces during a demonstration against the upcoming G7 summit in Geneva.
Tear gas and a water cannon were deployed to disperse the large crowd after protesters smashed windows and set a car on fire.
"What needs to be understood is the message, the basic message regarding all these countries that oppress us through money and power", said one protester who was disappointed to see the protest turn violent.
The G7 summit starts on 15 June in Évian-les-Bains and will bring together the leaders of Britain, France, Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United States and the European Union.
