Hong Kong blacklists 300 ahead of WTO summit
2005-12-05
HONG KONG - Authorities in Hong Kong have put 300 names on a blacklist of people barred from entering the Chinese territory during a World Trade Organisation (WTO) meeting this month, a media report said on Sunday.

Local police, immigration chiefs and Interpol had jointly worked out the blacklist, the existence of which the government denies, and which sources said contains many South Korean names, the Sunday Morning Post reported.

Members of the militant Korean Peasants’ League regularly clash with police during demonstrations, and one member stabbed himself to death in a protest at the last WTO ministerial meeting in Cancun, Mexico in 2003.
It's not just the SKor anarchists that are the problem. How many Euro and American names on the list?
If those on the list try to enter the southern Chinese city they will be sent back, and if they cause trouble they could be jailed in a detention centre set up in a downtown prison especially for WTO rioters, the report said.
Getting thumped by Chinese police and put into a Chinese detention camp might make clear to the anarchists how good they have it in the West .. .. .. naaaah.
Security has been tightened around Hong Kong in anticipation of trouble at the December 13-18 meeting, which is expected to attract some 10,000 protesters and opponents to globalisation. Pavement slabs have been glued down and park benches removed to prevent rioters from using them as weapons or projectiles during clashes.

#1  All WTO summits should be held in Singapore. I'd pay to see some of these a##holes get a few lashings.
