( 2003-07-30 09:38) (xinhua)
Several hundred protesters
came back Tuesday to the streets in Canada's second largest city of Montreal,
hoping to disrupt a World Trade Organization meeting.
Demonstrators were prepared to face the consequences of police action, a
protester told this reporter.
"he message today that we're sending out on the street is that our presence
alone is a disruption."
Riot police watched as protesters made their way through the streets near the
Sheraton Center in downtown Montreal, where trade ministers from about 25
countries were discussing various international trade issues at a three-day
meeting on July 28-30. According to police sources, some of the protesters
arrested Monday were fined CND$200 (about US$150) and others were kept behind
bars.
