The DC Independent Media Center held a press conference on Monday, 9/30, on the repressive tactics by the DC Metro Police Dept. preventing journalists from reporting what they were observing on the first day of protest against the Fall meetings of the IMF/World Bank. Additionally, the MPD targeted specific DC Independent Media Center (DC IMC) journalists--arresting and incarcerating them--in violation of freedom of the press. Video proof was presented of two specific IMC reporters being targetted and then arrested.

Speakers in the second half of the press conference were from the Pagan Cluster, the Anti-Capitalist Convergence, and the Radical Action Network of Trainers, representing some of the arrested. They likened the undemocratic nature of World Bank and IMF decisions, to the denial of democracy, freedom of speech and assembly, enforced by the MPD on the streets of Washington DC. The police also arrested Legal aid observers and medics.

CMAQ: Vie associative


Quebec City collective: no longer exist.

Get involved !

 

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.
