			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By IPS Correspondents  and - -<br />BUENOS AIRES, Apr 21 2008 (IPS) </p><p>Residents of the northeastern Argentine city of Gualeguaychú threatened to completely block the three international bridges that connect their country to Uruguay in protest against a paper pulp mill on the shared border river. <span id="more-123159"></span> The Environmental Citizens Assembly of Gualeguaychú stated that it will hold a march on April 27 against the Finnish-owned mill, located on the Uruguayan side of the river, and will block the bridges on the Uruguay River.  The protesters hope to pressure Uruguay to convince the Botnia company&#39;s representatives to show up in court. They have been &#8220;in contempt&#8221; of court since March because they did not appear after the first subpoena, Angeles Pereyra, attorney at the Center for Human Rights and Environment, told Tierramérica.  The environmentalists filed a complaint against Botnia for alleged contamination of the river. The corporation said it had not received the first subpoena. The Uruguayan government received the second and passed it along.</p>
