		Statements: CONDEMN HONG KONG POLICE BRUTALITY ON WTO PROTESTORS Published Thursday, January 05, 2006 - 09:14 PM
		998 Reads Committee for Asian Women condemns the Hong Kong police brutality in suppressing the peaceful protest of marchers in Hong Kong on 17th December 2005 at the 6th Ministerial Conference of the WTO. This resulted in the arrest of over 900 people and 100s injured. CAW strongly believes that WTO brings huge disasters to workers especially women workers, farmers, peasants and populations in developing countries. It has taken away their lives and livelihoods. It has devastated the countryside and has caused peasants and farmers to become bankrupt, workers to lose their jobs, and pollution and destruction of our environment. It is these actions of the WTO that are most violent and destructive. It is this horror that peoples' groups from all over the world came to Hong Kong to protest against. Fighting against injustice is the sacred right of the people. They did not come to Hong Kong to be violent. Read more... (122 More Words)
