Leftie protesters have been gettin' nekkid again, this time on the sandy beaches of Cancun. It seems like the WTO and other member organizations of the global domination cabal should be foresighted enough to meet only in cold climates, so the naked protesters will have to work for their fame. Cancun -- no fair. Includes pictures, so watch out.
Anti-globalization protesters stripped out of their clothes and spelled out the words "No WTO" with their naked bodies Monday, the first of several actions against the World Trade Organization meeting in this Caribbean resort.Posted by Alan at September 8, 2003 09:01 PMA mix of radical activists, farmers and labor rights promoters have planned a week of protests to show the harmful effects of free trade and growing corporate domination. Demonstrators say Cancun, whose miles of white-sand beaches are mostly hidden behind high-rise hotels, is a good example of increasing private control.
"This is a rejection of the WTO ... and the symbolic reclaiming of our beaches, using the only weapons we have left, our bodies," said a member of the Direct Action Network, the group that organized the protest. He identified himself only as Abraham, and refused to give his last name because he feared reprisals.
