Canadian government accused of barring non-mainstream reporters from summit.
UPDATE: Seventy-five people were arrested in downtown Toronto Saturday after G20 protests turned violent, and police confirmed they used bean bag guns, pepper spray and tear gas in skirmishes with protesters.
The protests came as the leaders of the world's largest economies gathered to discuss the economic crisis that swept the world over the past two years.
Toronto police praised the vast majority of protesters, who marched peacefully through the city core to draw attention to issues such as environmental degradation, poverty and human rights.
But some activists were angered at the "pre-arrests" of four G20 protest organizers by Toronto police in the pre-dawn hours of Saturday.
