this is from global

This is a heavily updated version of the updated WSIS feature. I think  
we should switch the existing one for this one as this one has much  
more content than just about the raid.

The World Summit on the Information Society, (<a  
href="http://hubproject.org/news/2003/12/212.php">WSIS</a>) is  
continuing in Geneva, Switzerland. Throughout the week you can tune in  
to the <a  
href="http://www.geneva03.org/highnoon/index.php">HighNoon</a> video  
and audio stream. Activists are demanding that the UN Summit address  
issues of <a  
href="http://hubproject.org/news/2003/12/216.php">intellectual  
property</a>, human rights, the right to communicate, <a  
href="http://hubproject.org/news/2003/12/343.php">infowar</a>, the  
rights to cheap generic medicine, and to <a  
href="http://hubproject.org/news/2003/12/208.php">free software</a> as  
a model for <a  
href="http://hubproject.org/news/2003/12/207.php">technological  
development</a>. During the preparation of the conference the <a  
href="http://hubproject.org/news/2003/12/198.php">police raided</a> and  
initially shutdown the <a  
href="http://hubproject.org/archives/ 
display_by_id.php?feature_id=10">Polymedia lab</a>, a hands on workshop  
space and community media lab. On Thursday activists held an action by  
projecting a "<I><a

mermaid</a></i>" (<a
