Emomotimi Azorbo, a deaf man unrelated to G20 organizing, was beaten and arrested because he did not hear police commands to stay off the road. Azorbo was handcuffed, preventing him from communicating with officers, who also refused his friend’s offer to interpret. Azorbo was refused an American Sign Language interpreter in the temporary jail where G20 arrestees are being held. He is charged with three counts of assaulting police plus resisting arrest.While trying to film Azorbo’s violent arrest, Jesse Freeston, of the Real News Network, was punched in the face twice by police, and had his microphone temporarily confiscated while other media crowded around and yelled for the police to return it.On Saturday, there was no sign of protester violence, among the 25, 000 plus people who took to the streets, contrary to what many corporate media reports are conveying. A few banks, franchises and corporations had their windows smashed in symbolic shows of property damage. On the contrary, levels of police violence have been extreme and brutal. Police repeatedly attacked and arrested peaceful protesters and journalists....Later on in the day, there is footage of police charging out of their lines, about five at a time, and violently arresting peaceful protesters, one by one, dragging them back behind police lines, pushing them to the ground and handcuffed.Mass arrests were conducted, and large numbers of people were arrested who happened to be in the area at the time.After the violent arrests described above, a university woman was trampled by a cops on horses in Queen’s Park, a so-called “Free Speech Zone.” She was among other peaceful protestors in the park at the time, but did not manage to get out of the way fast enough. She was reportedly badly injured. The police arrested her.Source : http://toronto.mediacoop.ca/story/erosion-rights-quick-descent/3886Other Events: Other Events: Yoon Bo-ram Junior Reporter br8515@uos.ac.kr 다른기사 보기 저작권자 © The UOS Times(서울시립대영자신문) 무단전재 및 재배포 금지 댓글삭제 삭제한 댓글은 다시 복구할 수 없습니다. 그래도 삭제하시겠습니까? 비밀번호 닫기 기사 댓글 0 댓글 접기 로그인 후 이용 가능합니다. 댓글 내용입력 비회원 로그인 이름 비밀번호 댓글 내용입력 댓글쓰기 계정을 선택하시면 로그인·계정인증을 통해 댓글을 남기실 수 있습니다. 회원 로그인 비회원 글쓰기 이름 비밀번호 자동등록방지 로그인 옵션 창닫기 IMPORTANT NEWS University of Seoul Excels as a Top-tier International Educational Hub Students on the Course Market UOS Au-CHPs Featured on ACS Materials Letters Cover UOS Selected as a Graduate School Specializing Carbon-Neutral Research Library Programs, Lost in a Book Four Seasons with @uos_season
