Monday April 2 2001
The Convergence Table and the Ottawa Convergence combined forces in an act of non-violent civil disobedience to try and obtain the content of the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) documents. 400 protestors demanded an end to the secrecy surrounding the FTAA, a neo-liberal agreement based on the same principles as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). 87 demonstrators managed to peacefully cross barriers surrounding the Ministry of external affairs and international trade building at 125 Sussex drive in order to physically obtain the documents. All of them, women and men, young and old alike, were arrested, fully aware that they would have to spend up to 24 hours in jail. Philippe Duhamel, activist, spokesperson for SalAMI, and protagonist of the civil disobedience movement since Operation SalAMI in May 1998, was among those arrested.

CMAQ: Vie associative


Collectif à Québec: n'existe plus.

Impliquez-vous !

 

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
