‘Occupy’ protesters plan march on Honolulu APEC summit

HONOLULU — The killing of a Hawaiian man by a US State Department security agent has galvanized anti-globalization activists who said Thursday they plan to march on a weekend summit of Asia-Pacific leaders here.

But activists and security officials said a repeat of the large “occupy” protests that started on Wall Street and went global looked unlikely due to smothering security and the remoteness of the summit location in Honolulu.

President Barack Obama was to arrive late Friday for the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum, which brings together leaders of its 21 members including Obama’s Chinese and Russian counterparts, and corporate chieftains.
