Swiss Embassy Call for Protest of the season

Friends of Phil and Toby | 05.06.2003 19:22 | Evian G8 | Oxford

The mother of all street theatre: Re-enactment of the battle of Lausanne...

Proposal for the demo at the Swiss Embassy on Friday

The world has been sheltered from the brutality of the Swiss police in Lausanne. This media blackout cannot go unchallenged. They did not show the true picture in Lausanne, so this is a proposal for us to show the world what happened.

The mother of all street theatre: Re-enactment of the battle of Lausanne.

Pink-and-silver bloc (with samba)
Black bloc
Police bloc
Rope blockade bloc
Aqua bloc

Bring dressing up clothes: bandanas, pink-and-silver clothes, black clothes, drums and percussion, dancing shoes water-pistols for the police. Prepare for a (mock)-riot; let the battle of Lausanne be seen!

Bring yourself, your friends, your grandmother, your pink tutus, your samba, your barricades, your batons, your tear gas, your goggles, your rage, your laughter.

Let the shout of “ASSASSINI!!!” ring out across the streets of Lausanne, the streets of London and across the streets of the world!

Location: the Swiss Embassy in London
16-18 Montagu Place
LONDON
W1H 2BQ
Tube stations: Baker Street, Edgeware Rd, Marble Arch
Time: 5.30 pm
