The World Trade Organization has convened in Buenos Aires for its 11th ministerial conference amid heavy security, as Argentina deported two people planning to attend the talks. British journalist Sally Burch was stopped at the airport Saturday and forced to return to Ecuador, while a Norwegian activist who was planning to join protests against the WTO was deported to Brazil. Last month, Argentina revoked the credentials of 63 environmentalists and trade activists who had been accredited by the WTO, prompting protests.
