An indignation rally in solidarity and mourning for the Papua New Guinea (PNG) student activists was held in front of the World Bank (WB) office in downtown Sydney on September 28, 2001. The students were killed by WB security officers in PNG while protesting the WB push for privatisation.
The demonstrators, mostly participants of the Asia Pacific Research Network conference and local activists in Sydney trooped to the WB office demanding justice for the murdered students. Armed with colourful banners condemning WB globalisation policies being imposed on PNG and other Third World countries, the rallyists called for vigilance among activists on the damaging impact of WB projects to local communities.
