Aristide Supporters Pour Into Streets
(Reuters) - Thousands of outraged supporters of exiled President Jean-Bertrand Aristide poured out of Haiti's slums and into the streets on Friday, marching on the U.S. Embassy to denounce the "occupation" of their homeland and demand Aristide's return. Hurling slurs at U.S. Marines and calling President Bush a "terrorist," a crowd estimated at more than 10,000 materialized in the capital, seething with anger at Aristide's flight to Africa five days ago after a bloody rebellion and U.S. pressure.
Germans Protest Radio-ID Plans By Kim Zetter 2/28/04 "Activists in Germany on Saturday will protest the use of radio-frequency IDs and various plans by businesses to track consumers. Their efforts already forced one of the largest retailers in Europe to back down this week from a trial run of the tags. Led by German privacy organization FoeBud, activists in Rheinberg, Germany, plan to stage a protest outside the Metro Extra Future Store, a department store that serves as a site to test RFID tracking and other retailing technologies. Metro AG, the store's parent company, is the world's fifth-largest retailer with more than 2,000 stores, including supermarkets and electronics stores in 28 countries. Activists recently discovered RFID chips embedded in the store's customer loyalty cards." http://www.wired.com/news/business/0,1367,62472,00.html

Judge tells of murder plots to block Dutroux investigation By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard in Arlon - 3/5/04 "The Belgian judge who saved two young girls from Marc Dutroux's paedophile dungeon broke down in the witness box yesterday, alleging high-level murder plots to stop his investigation into a child-sex mafia. Jean-Marc Connerotte choked in tears on the fourth day of the trial, describing the bullet-proof vehicles and armed guards needed to protect him against shadowy figures determined to stop the full truth coming out. "Never before in Belgium has an investigating judge at the service of the king been subjected to such pressure," he said. "We were told by police that [murder] contracts had been taken out against the magistrates. As the danger mounted, emergency measures were taken." He then froze in silence and the court was adjourned until he recovered. He alleged that "organised crime methods" were used to discredit his work and ensure that his investigation ended in "judicial failure"." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2004/03/05/wdut05.xml&sSheet=/news/2004/03/05/ixworld.html
