WTO Protesters Complain Of Being Denied Hotel Rooms For The Meeting In December....

Not unsurprisingly, WTO protester organizations are having difficulty securing hotel rooms for the weekend of the big meeting.

The Hong Kong People's Alliance on WTO, which says it's helping about 3,000 overseas protesters find accommodation, said it has heard of at least three cases in which hotels and travel agents refused to serve protesters.

Why should hotels want to serve people that have been violent in the past? And also, the government probably doesn't want these clowns running around throwing rocks and clashing with police either. It would be an embarrassment to both Hong Kong and China.

But the situation also may be somewhat more mundane. Hotel rooms get very tight here, especially when there is a big function in town. I wonder if these people tried the hotels in Disneyland?

Welcome to China and Hong Kong WTO protesters. Not as much freedom of speech here as you are accustomed to!
