"Libya has sent to prison for 18 months a blogger who criticized the government on the Internet, Human Rights Watch says in a report that inspired a series of Web tributes to the dissident Friday."
Mr. Bush goes to Argentina:
A few blocks from the hotel where the summit conference was taking place, some protesters threw stones and set fires this afternoon, and the police fired tear gas canisters to break up the demonstrations. Television images showed riot police arriving in vans and on motorcycles and horseback and massing near the crowds.
Several hundred demonstrators wearing bandanas or masks over their faces brandished clubs or fired slingshots at the police and set fire to a bank, according to reports by news agencies. The rioting broke out after a much larger, peaceful protest march involving several thousand people, the agencies said.
President Bush arrived here on Thursday night after one of the worst weeks of his presidency, only to be greeted by strong anti-American sentiment and taunts from Mr. Chávez. (...)
60 people have been detained, including people working with Indymedia.
