URGENT! CALL FOR ACTION
THIS HAPPENS IN EUROPE TODAY!!!!!
OPEN FASCISM IS BACK.
PLEASE EXPOSE THIS WIDELY
Dear people
As you are probably all aware, violence in unbelievable form is still
going on in Italy. A group of participants of the No Border Caravan,
on its way to Frankfurt, was stopped outside of Genoa, and all
people were arrested. They have still not been released and we are
concerned about their wellbeing.
You can read more below below, and of course on all indymedia
sites. Please help putting pressure to get them released as soon
as possible by organising actions, and/or by sending faxes to the
Italian embassies in your country and the embassy of your country
in Italy (for the Netherlands given far below), and any other place
you can think of.
Also, protest where-ever you can against the police/state violence
and fascism all present, not just in Italy. Shocking details of this
can be read below and more on indymedia.org
==========================
MORE on the No Border arrests:
According to the consulate, all of the 25 activists of
the no border no nation publixtheatre caravan who
had been arrested outside Genoa were remanded in
custody! The consulate was represented when the
judgment was
issued.
The theatre activists are accused of vandalism,
endangering public safety and affiliation to the
"black bloc". The court is acting on the assumption
that they were the core of the "black bloc" .
At present all detainees are in Alessandria, where
they were questioned, but the women are to be
taken back to Voghera. Counsel for the Austrian
activists immediately demanded a reopening of the
proceedings under a different judge and that they
be transferred to Genoa.
The Italian court must respond to this demand
within 10 days. A possible second judge has to
decide within 15 days. In Italy prisoners can be
remanded for up to six months, then they have to
get a trial.
Please keep protesting, we must get them free!!
26/07: we got the information, that they are still imprisioned, but
they
are not seriously injured. some lawyers and the austrian consulate
in
italy tries to get them free. At the moment it will be examined by
the
judge if the imprisionement is still justified. please make pressure
on
the officials to release them immediatly
25/07:
23:00 twenty of the imprisioned women were released, tomorrow
morning will be examined if the detention of the austrian women is
justified
activists still in prison
We got informations, that the noborder-people in the prisons in italy
were seriously maltreated!! (broken legs, knocked out teeth).
Officials in italy said, that nearly all women will be released today
...
An austrian lawyer also appears for the activists from other
countries.
Please give them protestcalls:
They are in the prisons in Pavia (men) and Voghera (women)

MORE on police brutality etc.
from www.italy.indymedia.org:
Article by: Pet Kuna
Tuesday 24 Jul 2001
Summary: monday, july 23rd, a group of media activists were
allowed to
visit some of the Imprisoned in the jails and prisons in Genova.
They Could talk about five minutes to
some of the imprisoned.
Reference at indymedia website: http://www.indymedia.org
Article:
Report from the jail \"Vercelli\"
The media activists could speak to three women, five minutes
each. The
women declared that they all
have been beaten, when they were arrested and/or in jail/at the
police
station. The wounds at their heads
and in the faces emphazised the reports.
The situation of the men seems to be much more serious. The
three women
told that they could hear the
men beeing tortured and \"punished\" throughout the whole night.
Report from another Police station in Genova:
Ecxept for one women all others were sorted in nationalities and
put into
2-3 cells. Although it seems that
they were treated better than the people in \"Vercelli\", they have
been
beaten and kicked when they went
to the toillet. The police shouted at them and used bad words. But
they
(the imprisoned) all told, that it
could have been worse. Some were allowed to make phonecalls.
Report from other women arrested on saturday (in jail \"Vercelli\":
Some of the women told that they were not beaten, but there were
other
terrible things happening in there. The police were obviously
organized
fascist, e.g. they called the imprisoned \"fucking jewish gipsys\" or
they
were shouting \"hasta la victoria siempre\" while showing the Hitlers
Greeting.
There were Mussolini Pictures on the walls. Teargas was thrown
into the
cells, so that somebody who stood next to the prisoners was
vomiting
blood. Some of the women were forced to stand 19 hours with their
arms
lifted, without getting nothing to drink for the same time. there only
was
one police
officer, that was obviously shocked by himself and brought about
200ml. of
water for about nineteen people.
One\'s person\'s leg was broken and couldn\'t stand up anymore.
she/he
was beaten until she managed to
stand up somehow leaning to the wall. The people in jail reported
that
the police women were much worse
than the men. They pulled people by their hair and the imprisoned
had the.
im!
pression they were \"total psychopaths\"!
Distribute this information, organize solidarity actions worldwide
and do
whatever.... but do something!!!
