What exactly were the seattle WTO protests?

Question

i was researching the protest but i couldnt find an exactly explanation. Was the WTO meeting in seattle to pass free trade laws? restrict them? what were they doing that made everybody protest?

Answer 1

Many people were there for different reasons. Read the following article in GlobalIssues.com which gives a good and objective view, in my opinion (right wing capitalists will disagree with me), of global trade issues.
