Barcelona: 32 flats Occupied for Evicted Mortgage Victims

The Spanish debt spiral is still climbing. All social services are being destroyed or sold off to help pay the interest on gigantic grants to save the Banks after the collapse of their capitalist scams.  But the debt keeps rising.

With evictions still running near 500 a day and popular anti-eviction laws rejected by the government, community groups are beginning mass occupations.

Group of Delhi women enforces its own vigilante style of justice, even using physical intimidation against harassers.

The December 16 gang-rape in Delhi sparked protests across the country and opened India’s eyes to atrocities committed against women and girls on a daily basis.

The demonstrations and media scrutiny forced the government to respond. It drew up a new sexual offences bill that updated the archaic piece of judiciary that once constituted as laws to protect women. Continue reading “Womens ‘Red Brigades’ confronts India sex abuse”

Update from;

Freedom NOW for the Black Flag ”Facebook Terrorists”

The 5 anarchists arrested Wed 15th  have been imprisoned without bail. They appeared in Madrid court on ‘promoting terrorism’ and other charges, that is, just saying things in favour of ETA separatists on their Facebook identities pages. According to the police on Facebook they are ”Kete Follen, Pakete Bomba, Cadenas Libertarias, Eskupe Metralla and Indio Apache Barcelona”.

Of these we only found Eskupe Metralla still up, this page seems  like 1000’s of other radical young anarchists,  supporting animal rights, prisoners, punk bands, occupy, anti-fascist action etc… Perhaps thism is another police ‘mistake’. We saw no threats to politicians  or royals in his/her 1370 great photos, some do advocate violence, but were put on her/his wall by others, so the crime would be ‘not deleting a criminal photo  from your Facebook timeline’… Eskupe has not posted since Wednesday when the arrests took place.

.Supporting terrorism?  On the arrest of anarchists in Sabadell and media terrorism,

judicial and police by Anarchists 16 May 2013


From early yesterday morning we’re all longing to know who the detainees are. Who has been dragged off to Madrid in chains to face the High Terrorist Courts?  In fact we have no knowledge of who they are or what exactly they are accused of. According to the press are “members” of the anarchist group Black Flag (Bandera Negra), which we had no knowledge of its existence and of which we only found now has  a Facebook page.
The truth is that the arrests only serve to realize a situation that many saw coming. In the last few weeks have been going out sporadically in virtual press articles (Cadena Ser, Europa Press, etc.) on anarchists, making a salad of issues that do not relate to reality, but they did serve to create a situation conducive to a coup like this . And there are many colleagues who have spoken through articles about it in blogs, pages and publications. Continue reading “Bandera Negra (Black Flag) statements on anarchist Arrests”
