[WSIS CS-Plenary] Evidence of infringement of Human Rights at PrepCom1

[Robert Guerra]

wow!

I guess the Tunisians couldn't have done it better - they proved by 
their actions that tunisia isn't an appropriate place for a summit.

I feel bad for all of you there -who went there with good, honest 
intentions , to do work, only to be harassed and assaulted. To come 
all the way, certain people at great expense - is a tragedy. 
Frightening indeed.

In terms of the summit - t2005 with it's meetings on MDG+5 and next 
WTO round will be full enough as it is... I do hope it gets  moved to 
another venue and/or another date.


Will be thinking of you all - May the hours you have left in - like 
minded - spaces be productive.


regards


Robert
