Durante a tarde do 17 de Dezembro (ontem), milhares de representantes de agricultores, pescadores, trabalhadores, migrantes, mulheres, estudantes e outras organisações da sociedade civil caminharam do Victoria Park até o Convention and Exhibition Center em Hong Kong, numa protesta contra as políticas destrutivas da Organisação Mundial do Comercio (OMC). Pelas 17 horas, eles foram parados pela policia, quem usou de pepper-spray, bombas de agua e também gás lacrimogéneo, para dispersar-los. Numeros manifestantes foram feridos, alguns hospitalizados. Depois, uns 900 manifestantes sentaram pacificamente na Gloucester Road., cantando e dançando, cercados pela policia em vestido completo, durante mais de 10 horas. Pelas 3 horas 30, nessa manhã, a policia começou capturar os manifestantes, e esta ainda hoje. Relatorios de grupos de apoio legal como de pessoas presas revelam que nenhum dos manifestantes da Gloucester Road tive acesso a comida, água ou banheiro ; muitos foram algemados, alguns investigados.
Nos, organisações, movimentos sociais e rede do mundo todo, denunciamos as ações da policia e protestamos contra as mesuras excesivas usadas conta os manifestantes, também como o tratamento inhumano dos presos. Estamos em completa solidariedade com os manifestantes que foram tanto prejudicados pela violencia sistemica das políticas da OMC.
Nos chamamos todos membros, todas delegações da OMC à se juntar à nos pra obter a liberação imediata daqueles presos politicos.
