Having seen the reports on Gothenburg, the police violence against poorly armed demonstrators, etc, I'm surprized that (with the exception of in The Hague) there have been no reports of solidarity actions in other European and world cities.

Activists are now being shot with live ammunition for dissent. This sets a dangerous precident. What's to stop them from using live bullets against us as a matter of course (like they have done in N.Ireland for years).

Shouldn't we at least be, say, converging on all Swedish embassies/consulates, etc?

In fact, I'm proposing just that...

Let's say 12.00 midday tomorrow (19/6/01), how about a convergence on the Swedish embassies at that time, even if it's only for a minimal protest.

Yes, it's all very well some people on this site complaining about the tactics used by the demonstrators in Gothenburg, etc, but at the end of the day, the cops are the front line of the boss class, so we should not be too upset if they get the odd brick on the head.

Anyway, when the fight's between a demonstrator and a cop, which side are you on?

Remember, the Swedish state, has also imprisoned hundreds over the recent events. That's something else we need to organise against.

So unless there's anything else been proposed that I may have missed, why don't we at least get down to the representatives of the Swedish state tomorrow?
