RUSSIA: NTV as a mouthpiece for neo-liberalism in Russia
23-04-2001 13:19
The fact that NTV is a mouthpiece for neo-liberalism is hardly arguable; it is glaringly obvious. Today, with so much press on free speech in Russia, it is fitting that we ask ourselves once again: exactly what kind of "freedom of speech" (and what kind of freedom in general--or whose freedom) does NTV stand for?Alternative media letter re Mayday

Around 30 people gathered at Speakers Corner in Hyde Park today for a Wombles public workshop. Police were there in significant numbers (about 15). People discussed confrontational but non-violent solidarity tactics while police surveillance took photographs of those attending - this comes after a large number of corporate media articles demonising the Wombles and accusing them of planning Mayday violence. Police intensified their surveillance when people began to leave, harrassing people, and later made arrests - text report to follow.

Friday (April 20) and Saturday (April 21), spectacular peaceful demonstrations took place in Quebec City with the same central political opinion: “No to the FTAA” or “NON à la ZLÉA” as Quebecers say. Unfortunately, from my observations, these two impressive actions have been largely ignored by independent media as much as commercial media. Therefore, here is an independent coverage based on my involvement in OQP 2001 and my participation in these demonstrations.FTAA Protest Closes Canada/US Border
