URGENT! Montreal Activist Detained by
Israeli Occupation Forces in West Bank

Tuesday August 5th 11am EST

Soledad Delgado a Montreal area activist, is being illegally detained in
Palestine by the Israeli Occupation Forces. She, along with 46 other
Palestinian and foreign nationals are participating in the Freedom Summer
Campaign with the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) in Palestine .
They were captured last night during an action organized by the ISM which
was attempting to prevent the demolition of a home in Masha Palestine
(near Nabulus) that lies in the projected path of the Israeli separation
(Apartheid) Wall.

A large group of us, I would say 300 or 400 people, were simply standing or sitting in this area, some of us trying to find food, others planning what to do next, when we heard from others who were observing the area that the cops were coming and that we should consider leaving.

To all human –loving people

This vicious act must be condemned. Our appeal is to express your support and solidarity.

Wednesday at 15h00, the police took down the barricades and broke down most of their teams. Only a couple of patrols were left to watch the town center and the surrounding of the Lafontaine Park, in which the "green" zone was established today for the anti-capitalism carnival to take place.

À 15h00 ce mercredi, les policiers ont levé les barricades et démembré la plupart de leurs escouades. Il ne reste que quelques groupes de patrouille qui surveillent le centre-ville et les alentours du Parc Lafontaine, dans lequel la zone "verte" a été établie aujourd'hui pour y tenir le Carnaval anti-capitaliste.

Here is a peek of the photo-report of tuesday's walk in the afternoon which took place in the streets of Montreal, and end in a kind of "sit-in" in front of the security perimeter around the Sheraton.

« L'objectif avoué des négociations de l'OMC est la réduction du pouvoir de l'État et du secteur public en général. La déréglementation et la privatisation en sont les leviers ». Ce dur constat du rapporteur spécial de l'ONU sur le droit à l'alimentation, Jean Ziegler , contredit la rhétorique romantique du ministre du Commerce International, M. Pierre Pettigrew, sur les orientations quasi altruistes de l'OMC.

PRESS RELEASE -- For immediate release

Our resistance continues, and solidarity triumphs!
DESPITE POLICE REPRESSION, THE WTO WILL CRUMBLE !

MONTREAL (July 29, 2003) – Despite yesterday's excessive police repression, protesters held two more snake marches today. More than 500 people attended this morning’s march, which took place at 10 a.m. A second march at 1:30 p.m. drew more than 400 activists.

Once again, Monday's 342 arrests have shown us clearly that the power structure of multilateral organizations, such as the WTO, the IMF, the World Bank, the G8 and G20, are using as much repression as ever to stifle any dissidence -- regardless of where these protests are taking place around the world.
