The WTO meets untill Tuesday the 14th, We call on you to make subsuquint actions against the WTO ,just cuz they are meeting in Qatar (a very oppressive state where protest is allmost impossible and many of the worlds richist have there vactions ect...) so they dont have to deal with unrest, and oppositition to there opressive polices in the rest of the world, most notably in Latin America and Europe, and even the USA ,doesnt mean that can just quietly meet without any protest.This is why it is important to make decentral actions world wide against the WTO and to discuss how we can continue the struggle against Capitalism and the polices of the WTO and other opressive structures. So get out on the Street!
