protester shot in goteborg-
police confirmed the use of live rounds-
RUN ON THE SWEDISH EMBASSIES EVERYWHERE NOW!!!!!!!

During the Reclaim the City in Goteborg today two persons were injured by live rounds, fired by the police.
One swedish person was shot in the torso and died, according to his brother, on the way to hospital, a german person was shot in the leg and is in hospital right now.
In the BBC news the police explained that they used live rounds because "rubber-coated bullets were not available".
A number of policemen confirmed that a colleage panicked and fired the bullets, when they got between two lines of proceeding protesters, who were throwing stones.
Now it is to go to swedish embassies everywhere and protest !!! The situation was provocated by the police, they tried to end the reclaim without having enough policeman to perform this, but all of them were carriing weapons with live rounds!!!
Please, support us, go to the swedish embassies, make pressure, so that this will have consequences!
