El grito resuena en todo el continente. Se mezcla con el torrente de los ríos, vuela encima de las cordilleras, se interna en los vericuetos de las metrópolis y sigue andando más allá de los poblados. “Nos están matando”, se escucha una y otra vez en la inmensa geografía que va de las calles resistentes de Portland a la villas de Buenos Aires, de las ardientes de Bogotá a las favelas de Río de Janeiro, pasando por las comunidades de Tila (Chiapas) y del Cauca colombiano. “Nos están matando”.
El brutal asesinato de un abogado en Bogotá, por el delito de violar la cuarentena para comprar alcohol, disparó la rabia contenida de las 55 masacres durante lo que va de 2020, sumadas a la desesperación de semanas de cuarentena, desocupación y hambre. En apenas tres días de revuelta, hubo 11…
Police agencies in the Denver area arrested anti-racist organizers in a coordinated assault today. People were arrested in a Home Depot parking lot, at their homes, and after they were pulled over while driving.
Those arrested were the leaders to demand justice for Elijah McClain, who was brutally murdered by the Aurora Police Department. They are still in jail, with the exception of one person. They are facing multiple felony charges and years in prison in an obvious frame-up aimed at stopping the movement for justice for Elijah McClain.
Please join an Emergency Livestream tonight, Sept. 17th, at 8pm ET / 7pm CT / 6pm MT / 5pm PT for updates on this developing situation, and the PSL’s plans to mobilize against this government attack.

They are facing multiple serious felony charges and many misdemeanors including the bizarre and ludicrous charge of “kidnapping,” all because they have organized large Black Lives Matter protests. This is a major political attack on the whole movement and the PSL. We will mount a mass campaign to defeat these phony charges and win their freedom.
Chilean anarchist Rodrigo Lanza is facing 20 years in prison for the death of a fascist in Zaragoza, Spain. This is not the first time Rodrigo is imprisoned: at 21 years old, he was allegedly framed in 2006 for throwing a stone that left a police officer tetraplegic during a squat raid in Barcelona.
The many irregularities in the Barcelona 4-F case were exposed in the documentary Ciutat Morta, along with the police violence suffered by the prisoners, which we covered back in 2014.

Hundreds of people have perished in violent attacks by Uighur Islamic terrorists in Xinjiang in recent years.
The Uighurs are/were prominent in both ISIS and Al Qaeda in Iraq, and in 2o17 released a ‘Rivers of Blood’ video jointly with ISIS, threatening China … see HERE ISIL video threatensChina with ‘riversof bloodshed …
March 2014.. Dozens of commuters were stabbed to death by Uighur jihadis in Kunming station
The Uighurs have carried out ISIS like attacks already in China: ”Three knife-wielding separatists killed five people in Xinjiang in February, and towards the end of December, four terrorists set off a bomb at a government office, killing one and injuring several others.One of the worst incidents occurred several years ago at a train station in Kunming. Militants from Xinjiang used machetes to cut down more than 30 people. Over one hundred people were hurt in the attack”…etc etc..
With stunning hypocrisy the US has mounted a worldwide campaign against China for allegedly putting Uighur ‘terrorists’ in ”reeducation camps”.. but didn’t the US bomb whole cities off the map..Mosul, Raqqa… in revenge for similar ISIS atrocities?
By now its printed as a fact in the West that China is pursuing an evil Hitler-like extermination policy against its wonderful innocent Uighur minority. The US has now banned all imports originating in Xinxiang province,
The US tactic seems to be to attack whole countries and then accuse them endlessly of terrorism when they resist, as in Iran, Syria, Iraq, Venezuela, ….etcetera.
A Beijing-Brussels-Berlin special: that was quite the video-summit

Bogotá, the Colombian capital, has been rocked by daily clashes in the street since the police tortured and murdered Javier Ordóñez on video last Wednesday.
Thirteen protesters have already lost their lives and hundreds have been injured in clashes with the police. Most of the victims were shot and killed, increasing the fury of the protesters.
On Friday, the Colombian police assumed their responsibility for the repression through a message on their official Twitter account.
On Monday a demonstration turned into a pitched battle between protesters and riot police, who dispersed the crowd with stun grenades and tear gas.
Judges are investigating 65 police officers for abuse of authority and around 40 weapons have been seized to see if they were the cause of the fatal shots against protesters.
The main mobilizations have taken place in Bosa, Kennedy, Teusaquillo, Suba and Engativá, with burning of vehicles and garbage containers at the hands of the CAI (Immediate Action Commands).
