Inntrykket som ble gitt av media var ikke godt. Det var kanskje 15 sekunder i Dagsrevyen fra Amnesty's aksjon som gikk på ungdom og dødsstraff, et tema som krever MINST like mye oppmerksomhet som Mulmia Abu Jamal's sak som vi så mye mer av i media.

NORWAY:
About 300 anti-American demonstrators clashed with Norwegian riot police
in Oslo Monday near where President Clinton attended a banquet at King
Harald's palace.
They protested U.S. use of the death penalty and the American role, they
said, "as the world's police."
"Several people were arrested," police spokeswoman Liv Merete Wiker told
Reuters. One policeman was slightly injured by a stone thrown by one of
the demonstrators.
Police with riot shields and rubber batons stopped the marchers in Oslo's
main street several hundred yards from Harald's palace. Police on
horseback helped disperse protesters, some of whom waved red flags.
Clinton was in Oslo Monday and Tuesday for a summit with Israeli and
Palestinian leaders and a memorial service for late Israeli prime
minister Yitzhak Rabin, assassinated in 1995.
Clinton is the first sitting U.S. president to visit Norway.
Some protesters carried banners with slogans including "No to the USA as
the world's police."
Others protested U.S. use of the death penalty and a death sentence on
Mumia Abu-Jamal, the former Black Panther and radio journalist for
killing a Philadelphia policeman 18 years ago.
Abu-Jamal is recognized by death penalty opponents worldwide.
