//TONIGHT 7.30PM //

// MEET OUTSIDE BANK TUBE STATION, ON THE
CORNER OF PRINCES ST & THREADNEEDLE ST >>



In the last few weeks and months there has been a dramatic increase
of state repression of social movements. From everywhere on earth we
are hearing stories of beatings, imprisonment, torture, sexual
abuse, raids, arrests and other violence against those who resist
political, social and economic domination of their lives and destruction of
their
planet. From environmental activists in the USA, adherents of the
'Other Campaign' in Mexico and student protesters in occupied
West Papua, to migrants and peace activists in the UK, gay and lesbian
activists in Russia and anarchists all across Europe, everywhere on earth
there are examples of this (see below for information).

As always lies and propaganda are no problem for the consciences of the
rich and powerful, and these stories mostly go untold, or at best willfully
misrepresented. However, as truth has filtered through alternative media
and communication networks (and in the case of Belarus even mainstream
corporate media have reported it) solidarity events, protests and
direct-actions have taken place such as benefit gigs and meals in Leeds for
the USA environmental activists and occupations and lock-ons to the Mexican
Embassy in London in solidarity with the people of Atenco in Mexico. These
actions are wonderful, directly effective and must continue – we support
them with all our heart. The 'Other Campaign' in Mexico (see below for
info), has requested actions around Mexico and the world in solidarity with
the political prisoners of Atenco, Mexico City to take place on 11th June
and we add our support to this request.

In addition to these actions though we make a call for a strong,
generalised, visible demonstration of solidarity for our comrades and
resistance against ALL state repression, to take place in central London on
10th June. This date is a day-of-solidarity with the USA 'Green Scare'
defendents (see below) and we wish to add to that and call for it to be a
day-of-solidarity between diverse peoples against ALL state repression of
social movements. From class-struggle anarchists and environmental
activists, to Mexican, West Papuan and Belarusian solidarity groups, to No
Borders/anti-detention activists, peace activists and anti-prison
campaigners, as well as womens groups, LGBT, campaigners, human-rights
organisations and others, we ask for your support and participation in this
demonstration. Even in our darkest moments, we must remember our solidarity
and collective power. Solidarity among the exploited and oppressed: this is
the spectre the powerful fear the most, the
possibility which terrorises those who are attacking us everywhere in the
world.

Please bring banners, leaflets, noise etc and join us at 7.30pm on
Saturday 10th June outside Bank Tube Station, on the corner of Princes
Street
and Threadneedle Street.

OUR PASSION FOR FREEDOM IS STRONGER THAN THEIR PRISONS!
