40 manifestants arrêtés à Istanbul ce lundi by AP + Indymedia.org Tuesday February 20, 2001 at 01:35 PM |
La police d'Istanbul a arrêté 40 manifestants contre la globalisation lors de protestations contre la réunion des financiers des pays les plus riches.
Police on Monday detained
40 anti-globalization protesters who hurled coins and eggs at a hotel hosting
a meeting of finance officials from the world's richest nations and major emerging
economies. The protesters, who gathered
outside the downtown Hyatt Hotel, shouted ``No to globalized capitalism and
the IMF'' before being detained, the Anatolia news agency reported. Finance officials from the
so-called Group of 20 - 19 countries including the United States, along with
the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank - are meeting to prepare
the agenda of a finance ministers meeting later this year. The meeting was apparently
not disrupted by the protest. Anti-globalization protesters
believe that international financial institutions are saddling developing countries
with debt payments and encouraging environmental destruction. Under strict IMF guidelines,
Turkey is carrying out an ambitious anti-inflation program. Source: AP
