Anarchists and No Borders activists demonstrate at the Italian Consulate in Manchester








Over 60 protesters picketed the Italian consulate in Manchester today, in a demonstration against the worst persecution in Italy since the fascist era. The protest, called by the Anarchist Federation and No Borders, saw both sides of the Ducie Street entrance to the consulate at 111 Picadilly picketed, with the picket extending down the street and onto Picadilly, where both sides of the pavement were lined with demonstrators. 1000 leaflets detailing the persecution were distributed to interested passersby.

An employee from the consulate came down to invite two 'representatives' from the protest to come in to talk with the consul; an offer that was declined so as not to legitimise him.
