-Caveat Lector- <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"> </A> -Cui Bono?- XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 2000 22:51:07 ET XXXXX DAVOS LOCKOUT: PROTESTERS BANNED FROM WORLD FORUM Free speech may be the first casualty in the globalization. Protestors early Saturday vowed to demonstrate when US President Bill Clinton arrives in Davos despite a Swiss court order banning them from doing so! The Swiss army has been called in to reinforce police mounting unprecedented security around the fortress-like congress centre where the World Economic Forum meeting is being held. The group organizing the protest, Anti WTO-Coordination, hopes that up to 500 demonstrators will take part, spokesman Dario Haberli said. "The reason why we should not be able to demonstrate on Saturday is not obvious to us," Haberli told reporters on the scene, adding they planned to appeal the denial in the Swiss Federal Court. Swiss President Adolf Ogi insisted at the start of the Davos meeting that authorities would not allow protests to get out of control, as during the World Trade Organization meeting in Seattle last month. "I understand the fears and the anger of the demonstrators," he said, adding: "The forum has always allowed opposition forces to have their voices and demands heard." "But Davos is not Seattle," he said. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
