More than 80 arrested at Ottawa protest
WebPosted Mon Apr 2 19:40:24 2001
OTTAWA-- Police arrested 87 anti-globalization activists during a noisy but
peaceful protest in front of the Foreign Affairs building in Ottawa Monday.
About 450 people waved banners and sang songs to demand the government take
action.
BACKGROUND: Trade talks: The Summit of the Americas
The demonstrators were arrested after they came forward in pairs to read
statements out loud, before climbing over barricades to sit on the
building's grounds.
One by one they were dragged away by police.
They want the government to release the draft text of the proposed Free
Trade Area of the Americas agreement in advance of this month's summit in
Quebec City.
International Trade Minister Pierre Pettigrew said Canada can't release the
details unilaterally because there are 34 countries involved. But he said
the government has released what it can so far.
"This is the most transparent international trade negotiation we've ever
had," he told CBC Newsworld.
Foreign Affairs has closed the building for the day and told staff to stay
home.
Protesters say the government must make sure that environment and labour
rules as well as human rights and democracy are respected in any new
accord.
