WTO protest moves
back to nonviolence
By Luis Cabrera
The Associated Press •
SEATTLE — Protesters outside
the King County Jail created a car
nival atmosphere Thursday as they
demanded the release of people ar
rested for demonstrating against
the World Trade Organization.
In contrast to the beatings and
tear gassings of Wednesday,
Thursday’s massing at the jail saw
topless women dancing, a huge
puppet moving through the area
and people playing drums and
hacky sack.
“We’re demanding the release
of all people inside arrested in the
last two days for nonviolent ac
tion,” said Stephanie Guilloud,
22, of Olympia.
Demonstrators locked arms in
front of the entrance to the jail,
which was also locked from the in
side to prevent entry. They wore
bandanas dipped in vinegar to
lessen the pain if tear gas was used.
Six women standing at the
courtyard of the jail removed their
shirts. One had “gas this” written
on her chest and stomach.
When one protester smashed a
bottle into the street, he was
hounded out of the area by others
who insisted the demonstration
remain peaceful.
After a rally at Pike Place Mar
ket, at least 1,000 people marched
to the jail at the south end of
downtown to express support for
those arrested this week.
Motorcycle police escorted pro
testers to the site, which is blocks
away from the WTO meetings. It
was a contrast to Wednesday,
when police cracked down on pro
testers and arrested more than 500.
“We’re here because there are
over 100 nonviolent protesters [in
side] who were arrested for exer
cising their right to free speech,”
said one man on a bullhorn. Most
of those arrested are being held
elsewhere.
Some protesters were denied ac
cess to lawyers because they re
fused to give their names.
“It looks like the Constitution
doesn’t apply in Seattle any
more,” said Scott Schawver, attor
ney for Associated Counsel for the
Accused, which represents some
of the arrested people.
King County Superior Court
Judge Michael Spearman issued
an emergency order Thursday re
quiring authorities to give defense
attorneys access within eight
hours to protesters, except for
those who are “physically uncoop
erative with the booking process.
“Access to counsel is not con
tingent on answering police ques
tions, including ‘What is your
name?’” Spearman said in his
handwritten order.
Police were acting differently,
said David Roman, 26, an organiz
er with the umbrella group Direct
Action Network. Where Wednes
day some were “out of control,”
they were cooperative Thursday.
The rally at the market was one
of the first peaceful demonstra
tions since Tuesday’s vandalism
downtown and police response
Wednesday with tear gas and rub
ber bullets.
Activists were wary of renewed
police efforts to distinguish be
tween vandals and criminals and
those engaged in peaceful protest
and civil disobedience.
“It’s never too late to say you’re
sorry,” said Lori Lofton, 25, of
Portland, Ore., walking with about
300 other demonstrators as the
market crowd dispersed into
smaller groups.
But then she added of police:
“Many of them should be pun
ished. An apology is not enough.”
For activists concerned about
WTO power to override national
laws protecting the environment
and workers, this week’s meeting
was supposed to be a historic show
down between civil society and the
forces of corporate globalization.
Instead, the battle has been be
tween protesters and police, with
concerns about human rights, la
bor and the environment taking a
back seat to allegations of police
brutality.
More than 570 people have
been arrested since Tuesday,
when tens of thousands of protest
ers took over the city’s core and
some smashed entire blocks of
storefront windows, spray-paint
ed buildings and slashed police
car tires causing an estimated $2
million in property damage.
Mayor Paul Schell has imposed
a 24-hour “limited curfew”
through midnight Friday around
the Washington State Convention
and Trade Center, where trade del
egates, media and interest groups
from 135 nations are meeting.
Activists made clear they did
not condone Tuesday’s violence
and vandalism, which they said
involved a very small percentage
of the estimated 40,000 demon
strators. People wearing black ski
masks were seen smashing win
dows and kicking squad cars.
