US condemns Azeri rally policing

Hundreds of people are said to have been injured
in the crackdown
The US has censured the use of force to disperse
crowds in Azerbaijan's capital Baku on Saturday who
were protesting about recent parliamentary elections.

A statement by the US embassy in Baku said it
deplored the "unjustified and unprovoked use of force".

Many people were reported to have been injured by
police using truncheons, tear gas and water cannon.

CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) - A dozen war protesters were
arrested Wednesday for setting up camp near President
Bush's ranch in defiance of new local bans on
roadside camping and parking. [emphasis mine]
.......................................

About four hours after the group pitched six tents
and huddled in sleeping bags and blankets, McLennan
County sheriff's deputies arrested them for criminal
trespassing.

In August, hundreds of demonstrators camped off the
road during a 26-day protest led by Sheehan, whose
24-year-old soldier son Casey was killed in Iraq last
year. But a month later, county commissioners banned
camping in any county ditch and parking within 7 miles
of the ranch, citing safety and traffic congestion
issues.
