Activists demand to be on WTO surveillance list
A "watch list" drawn up by Mexican security forces of 80 anti-globalisation activists who are believed to be headed for Cancun for the World Trade Organisation (WTO) gathering next month has provoked an angry response -- from those whose names are missing.

Ten days ago, the Mexican daily La Reforma ran a story on a "watch list" that has been compiled by the security forces concerned about possible trouble at the September 10 to 14 event. The list named 60 international and 20 Mexican anti-globalisation activists.

The list was to enable the large numbers of police guarding the WTO delegates to put those named under surveillance. Ever since the events at Seattle in 1999, authorities hosting the WTO or the International Monetary Fund meetings have launched huge security operations.

Now hundreds of activists who also plan to attend the event have demanded that their names be included as worthy of surveillance.

I'll bet you a million bucks this list originates and is maintained by the CIA/FBI/DOD/GOP/BUSH CRIME FAMILIES
