Protesters occupy Argentinian embassy, 8 arrests, one protester beaten.

last night (10/01/02) a group of protesters successfully occupied the Argentinian embassy and raised an anarchist flag on the building. The occupation ended with eight of the group being arrested, three of which were held in custody. The protesters have this morning appeared in court(charges as yet unknown). The groups main concern is that when they arrived at court this morning one of their number who had refused bail due to the stringent and unrealistic conditions that were set, had very obviously been beaten during his time in custody,an outraged friend of the protester and member of IMC who was in court this morning reported that `his face was swollen and bruised `. Hopefully their will be further details on this story when people leave the court later today.
