Major Environmental Groups Banned from Summit
---------------------------------------------



In what could have been a preemptive move against the delegates’
walkout, several major environmental groups were barred from the climate
summit earlier today. The groups, including Friends of the Earth
International, Avaaz and Tck Tck Tck, say their accreditation was
revoked without explanation. Around fifty people held a sit-in near a
security checkpoint in response.
