G8 2003 cops on trial this week!: www.aubonnebridge.net

12-02-2006 18:05

Hi!
In case you did not know, it is not only the Genoa G8 2001 cops who are on trial, but Swiss cops are in courst this coming week too. The Swiss lawyer for the case of the Aubonne Bridge thinks we have a chance to win. We think if the cops are found guilty, it can send a big message to Russia and Germany, and to tell the Russian and German cops that if they beat people up at the G8 in 2006 or 2007, they can be found guilty too.

We have issued political statements for the radical left, and we also
have press releases for mainstream press, which are on the web-site. The decision of the trial should be next Thursday or Friday and then it will quickly be put on the web-site: www.aubonnebridge.net
If you can pass on this info, or post it on your local or regional IMC's, that would be super helpful!

ciao!

Death in Plumstead. The Muslim demo that the corporate media ignored.

10-02-2006 16:41

Mourning a loved one.
Last Saturday the corporate media were going into an racist feeding frenzy at the Danish Embassy. Meanwhile a bigger (and just as angry) demonstration by Somali Muslims was taking place at Plumstead Police Station. It went unreported except for here, a left paper and a Somali youth magazine. It seems that the death of an innocent young man in suspicious circumstances is just not newsworthy if he is black.
