Edinburgh Protest against G8 Repression - Friday

anti-G8ista | 09.05.2007 19:50 | G8 Germany 2007 | Globalisation | Repression

German Police have carried out roughly 40 raids across Germany or social centres and homes as well as taking out the alternative internet provider so36.net. This is all done as part of a security operation surrounding the G8 summit due to take place within a month in Northern Germany.

This is a call out for autonomous activists to protest outside the German Consulate in Edinburgh this Friday, the same day as the demo's in London. We will be asking for an end to police repression, and show we are not afraid of them. We want to show that it is the G8 leaders who are the real terrorists, not people trying to shut it down.

Meet 1pm at the Edinburgh consulate:

Today's events in Germany clearly show that the state is once again creating a dualism, a rift between the united people who come to protest against their economic machines - good protesters and bad protesters. Allegations of 'intended criminal damage' serve to divide the pacifist among us from the D(irect) A(ctivists) and hence split our united front.

This can not be allowed to happen. WE have to mobilise, in protest, against this affront to our right to fight for a different world, especially this close to the G8 summit.

Please come and show support for our friends in Germany and be part of the ongoing SolidarityDemonstrations which are being organised across Europe. Germany might seem a far place away but the same things happen in YOUR local social centres and homes too.

Take action on friday 1pm outside the German Consulate in Edinburgh and show your solidarity.
