International | Globalization & CapitalismPhotos from the WTO Protests in Hong Kong, Day 2
A march and a full day of rallies, part of the People’s Action Week on WTO, continued at Victoria Park on the second day of the Sixth Ministerial WTO conference in Hong Kong.  dscn1828.jpg Workshops and plenaries included topics such as WTO, Food Sovereignty and Alternatives to Globalization; Defending Water Commons; and Building Solidarity Amongst Garment, Farm and Other Migrant Workers from San Francisco to Hong Kong.
In the evening, nearly two hundred Korean farmers—wearing their trademark straw hats and beige vests inscribed with anti-WTO slogans—assembled in the street next to a Sogo department store in Causeway Bay. Most of them sat on the ground holding lit candles while several farmers offered more candles to crowds of curious onlookers.
