Police, anti-globalization protesters clash outside Asia-EU summit

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- Riot police battled stone-throwing protesters who
wielded wooden sticks and shouted anti-globalization slogans amid demonstrations
Friday during a gathering of Asian and European leaders. 

Some 400 protesters fought running street battles with about 1,000 police armed
with yard-long batons who were blocking their march. 

At least three protesters were taken to hospital with injuries to the head and
face. One protester was taken away in a police car. 

The protesters were among 3,000 labor, environmental and human rights activists
who rallied at a major intersection to oppose the biennial summit of the
Asia-Europe Meeting, or ASEM, which brought together 25 leaders of Asian and
European Union leaders to discuss closer cooperation between their regions. 

Activists expected the Seoul meeting to strengthen economic globalization, which
they claim would restrict workers' rights and widen the gap between the
rich and poor nations. 

Anti-globalization protests disrupted the World Trade Organization meeting in
Seattle last year. Violent demonstrations also marred last month's
International Monetary Fund and World Bank meetings in Prague, the Czech
Republic. 

Organizers said they planned a larger demonstration later Friday expected to
draw 20,000 people. 

Earlier in the day, police stopped a dozen activists from marching to the
convention center. 

"Is this a country which has received a Nobel prize?" the protesters
shouted as they were aggressively pushed away by riot police, armed with
helmets, shields and meter-long batons. 

South Korean President Kim Dae-jung, who received the Nobel Peace Prize last
week for his policy of reaching out to North Korea, is the host of the third
biennial summit seeking ways of strengthening political and economic
cooperation. 

When stopped by police yards from the convention center, the labor, religious,
environmental and human rights activists unfurled two large placards which read:
"No to Neoliberal Globalization" and "No to Structural Adjustment
Program." "Neoliberal" refers to the free market economic
policies adopted by many of the countries in the region. 

"ASEM pursues neoliberal globalization, which is destroying the livelihood
of workers, ecology and human rights," the protesters said in a statement.


Authorities deployed 30,000 riot and plainclothes police in Seoul to safeguard
the summit. Anti-terrorism police squads were seen patrolling around the
convention center and hotels where the summit leaders were staying. 

Police also expected South Korean followers of the Falun Gong spiritual
movement, which has been the target of a heavy crackdown by the Chinese
government, to stage a protest during the summit due to the presence of Chinese
Prime Minister Zhu Rongji.
