Nottingham AF present the Nottingham leg of a national speaking tour by the current secretary of the IWA to highlight on going repression of independent worker's associations in Germany and Serbia.
Nottingham AF present: Freedom to Organise! @ the Sparrow’s Nest, Thursday 25th March at 7:30
This is the Nottingham leg of the national speaking tour on the recent state repression of independent workers' organisations in Europe.
In Serbia, 6 members and associates of ‘Anarcho-Syndicalist Initiative’ (ASI), the Serbian section of the International Workers’ Association (IWA) have been framed for ‘International Terrorism’ after a different group threw a petrol bomb at the Greek embassy in Belgrade, causing minor damage totalling just £18 (yes, eighteen!). They have already spent over three months in prison awaiting trial. More information:

Meanwhile in Germany, the Berlin IWA section FAU-B (the Free Workers Union) has been effectively banned by bosses at the Babylon Cinema through the courts. Workers at the cinema joined the FAU as a radical alternative to the existing union. The German court has now banned FAU from organising and some of its members face possible prison sentences. More information.

Also, great to see Anarchist Federation, Solidarity Federation and Organise all cooperating and working together. We are proving we ARE better at not being sectarian than the Trotskyites after all!
