NGO's - Anti-globalists: long time no see

The anti-global movements is gathering coming weekend in Hong Kong for a first major display in years, reports AP. While fierce at times, the movement lost its momentum after 9/11, as even the most convinced anti-globalists thought there were perhaps other problems more serious.
Twohundred activists representing 120 international organizations will gather for a two-day meeting, the first on Chinese soil, to prepare protest during a WTO-meeting in Hong Kong later this year.
Police said they might ban 'troublemakers' from entering the territory. It will be interesting to see how Hongkong police, and later mainland police will deal with international protest, that are inevitably connected with international events.
