Press TV January 24, 2010 Afghan workers protest at Bagram base Afghan workers at Bagram Air Base have staged a protest against maltreatment by the US military and laser health hazards at the camp, says a report. Employees at the US military airport and housing complex in Bagram, 11 kilometers southeast of Charikar in the Parwan province of Afghanistan, gathered in front of the camp to show opposition "to US inappropriate treatment of the workers," a Press TV correspondent reported on Saturday. Demonstrators said they have to pass through a "scanning device equipped with laser beans" which puts the employees' health in danger. "We have to stand in queue for many hours to pass the security check post one by one," explained one of the protestors. The biggest US base in the Asian country is currently occupied by the 5th Aviation Battalion (Assault), and 6th Aviation Battalion (GSAB) of the US Army, with the 455th Air Expeditionary Wing of the US Air Force and other US Army, Navy , Marine Corps, and Coast Guard units, and their coalition partners. Thousands of Afghans work in the camp every day. They warned of quitting in the event the problem is not resolved. The development comes as the Afghan nation protests the presence of foreign forces in the country for the third consecutive day. For the third day, about 500 angry demonstrators gathered in Ghazni to protest the death of civilians in a NATO air raid. NATO says it killed four militants, including a 15-year-old boy, in the Qarabagh district of Ghazni Province on Wednesday night. Locals say that three of the dead were civilians, including two children below the age of seven. =========================== Stop NATO http://groups.yahoo.com/group/stopnato Blog site: http://rickrozoff.wordpress.com/ To subscribe, send an e-mail to: rwroz...@yahoo.com or stopnato-subscr...@yahoogroups.com Daily digest option available. ============================== --------------------------- ANTI-NATO INFORMATION LIST --^---------------------------------------------------------------- This email was sent to: arch...@mail-archive.com EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a84x2u.bNM5nn.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: antinato-unsubscr...@topica.com For Topica's complete suite of email marketing solutions visit: http://www.topica.com/?p=TEXFOOTER --^----------------------------------------------------------------
