2001 Genova G8: We are history! - call to mobilization november 17th 2007
07-11-2007 15:41
It's been years we have asked everybody to take responsibility as
collectively as possible for what the mobilizations against G8 in Genoa
were.
The arrogance of Genoa prosecutors during the final speech of their

and sacking seems to have eventually aroused the hearts and brains of
