Remember N30: I wasn’t there, but I want to support those who were.
I hoped to attend the April 2001 World Bank protests, but was very sick that day.
I was active in the anti-war movement and tortured by police in the January 2005 counter-inaugural protests.
I am now struggling with chronic illness and sensory issues. I haven’t been able to travel, go to the city, or protest for years.
Many of the WTO protesters faced worst. Several accounts describe police putting hoods over the heads of protesters, and spraying torture spray under the hoods.
According to Stefani Banerian, one anonymous protester died of asthma during the Battle:

And Key Martin died of wounds several months later:

I’ve heard a similar story, which may be Key Martin’s or a 3rd. Several accounts also describe grievous head wounds.
