WASHINGTON, Sept 27 (Hina) - Several groups of American "pacifists"
and anti-globalists have convened a rally for Sunday, in one of
Washington's squares to protest against a possible strike of the
United States against Afghanistan in return to the September 11
terrorist attacks in New York and Washington.
The chief organiser of the gathering is Ramsey Clark, the
undestined lawyer of a former Yugoslav president, Slobodan
Milosevic, labelled as the Balkan butcher, who is being kept in the
custody of the UN war crimes tribunal (ICTY) that indicts him of war
atrocities. Clark has offered himself as a legal representative to
Milosevic, and in 1999 he also pressed charges against NATO over an
air campaign against Yugoslavia which was at the time ruled by
Milosevic.
Clark, a former U.S. state prosecutor, is at the helm of the
International Action Center (IAC), a New-York-based association,
that has assumed the bulk of the job in preparations for the protest
rally.
The Washington rally's organisers hope that protesters who should
have gathered to express their dissatisfaction with the work of the
International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, would join them
this Sunday. The autumn sitting of the said two financial
institutions, scheduled for 29 and 30 September in Washington, was
cancelled in the meantime owing to security reasons. Therefore a
protest of over 40,000 people was also cancelled.
Clark and his like-minded persons nevertheless believe that they
will manage to gather so many protesters, whereas the city police
hold that about one hundred demonstrators could be expected this
Sunday.
