Thousands of Estonians want to protest against ACTA

TALLINN - Non-profit organisation Estonian Internet Community (EIC) recently opened a Web page dedicated to the Anti-Counterfeit Trade Agreement (ACTA) and announced that thousands of people are ready to protest against ACTA this Saturday[Feb. 11], Postimees writes.

EIC's board chairman Elver Loho noted that protest actions against ACTA will take place on Saturday in Tallinn and Tartu and on Facebook. 4,000 people have promised to attend these protests.

"I wouldn’t even say that these events are against ACTA, but they rather draw attention to important problems connected to ACTA. We want a real discussion in the society and that it would take place at the government and Riigikogu level too," he said.

Loho said that protest actions against ACTA take place on Saturday in more than 200 cities in Europe and elsewhere in the world.
