G8 protesters face police stun-guns

DAN MCDOUGALL

Key points
• Taser stun-guns will be available to officers policing G8 summit
• Weapons blamed for deaths of 104 civilians in US and Canada
• Guns fire electric wires delivering 50,000-volt shocks

Key quote
"Tasers are potentially lethal and inherently open to abuse because they leave no visible marks. There should be an open and independent inquiry into their safety and effects, and tight controls on their use - not a move towards wider deployment." - STEPHEN BALLINGER, AMNESTY
