Round up of reports post Brussels
25.12.2001 09:11
For three days a broad cross-section of European citizens said 'No!' to the neo-liberal project of the heads of the EU.
Trade Unionists , No Borders activists, anti-globalisation protesters, Black Bloc, Rhythms of Resistance, student groups along with many other groups from around the globe were out in force to demonstrate their resistance to the repressive policies of the European parliament. Police presence was huge: Brussels riot cops, city cops and national riot cops. There were also many undercover cops posing as black block, stealing a video camera from an independent reporter and a heart-shaped banner from a pink block protester while also violently arresting a number of peaceful demonstrators.They used the 12 hour 'administrative' arrest a lot just to get people out of the way and at one time even legal teams were arrested!
