Philippines detains homeless people for APEC Summit
Oh my. WHY OH WHY?
Quote:
The preparations have included city beautification programs, including painting public areas and picking up litter. Human Rights Watch said that this had been extended to homeless people being taken off the streets against their will and detained in centers around the capital until after the world leaders leave the country... the police and other government officials have in the last week detained at least 141 street children in centers around Manila and in surrounding cities.
