STOP THE ITOIZ DAM - PLEASE SIGN SUPPORT LETTER Here is a message from the Solidarios con Itoiz… Last September, we started the S.O.S Itoiz Tour which has passed throughout Europe as part of the fight against the Itoiz Dam in the Basque Country. The reason for this tour was to denounce the construction of the unnecessary, destructive and dangerous macrodam of Itoiz (Bask country), through direct action and infomeetings. We also denounce the unjust sentence of five years in prison given to eight members of our collective for an action against the dam. During the tour different social, political and earth defense collectives have endorsed our fight through the manifesto of solidarity we are enclosing here for you. If your collective hasn`t signed it yet you have now the opportunity to support us and send it to us by post/fax or electronic mail. Please do it as soon as possible as we are now gathering the support letters. In hope of your support we thank you in anticipation. The fight against the dam continues!!!!! NO PASARAN! ********************************* SOLIDARITY MANIFESTO Considering the fact that the Itoiz dam is: An enormous ecological and social assault; An obvious swindle in relation to the true reasons for its construction; A clear example of institutional corruption; An unjustified massive waste of public money in favour of building firms allied with the political power; Blatantly unlawful - the Supreme Court of Spain declared it illegal but at the same time the judges allowed the continuation of the works; A serious risk for the safety of the population downstream of the dam, because of the complete lack of stability of the sides of the reservoir; Our group wants to show solidarity with the long struggle against this macro-project, and especially with the struggle of the Solidari@s con Itoiz, based on non violent public direct action. We demand: The immediate halt to the construction of the Itoiz dam, followed by the abandonment of the project; Freedom for the 8 members of the group who carried out the cutting of the cables at the construction site; Full accountablilty and responsibility of the developers and builders of the project.
