BALTIMORE: Protesters defied a citywide curfew that launched into effect in Baltimore on Tuesday as nervous authorities attempted to stave off another night of violence, in the latest race-related unrest to roil the United States.

It was not immediately clear how successful the emergency night-time curfew was, but television footage showed knots of mainly young, black men still out on the streets after the 10:00 pm (0200 GMT) order time. It was to be lifted at 5:00 am and in place for a week.
