UN Youth Delegates Dragged From Convention Centre
Thu Jun 22, 09:53 PM EST

Three youth delegates to the World Urban Forum complain they were dragged out of the Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre on Wednesday night by security officers.

A weeping Nathalie Lozano, 19, told CBC News the incident began when the three women lined up at a security checkpoint in the building,
on their way to the washroom.

Lozano says officials searched their bags and confiscated T-shirts with a political slogan on them.

"We had the shirts that say, 'Don't be a war toy.' We had them in our bags, we didn't have them on. When they saw us in the backpacks with them, they took it from us and they say we couldn't get them."

Well, let's start with how it's worth talking about, rather than simply getting swept up in the mix & simply forgotten about.

Does National Sovereignty even exist in the "post"-modern world, OR has it largely been subsumed under the guise of "global governance", multi-lateral "free" trade ( more like IMPOSED TARIFFS & QUOTAS ) agreements, world-socialist bodies and the like?
