Police have started withdrawing from a main Istanbul square to allow in tens of thousands of protesters campaigning against the potential construction of a shopping centre in a park.

Riot police in Istanbul have fought running battles with thousands of people who turned out to protect a park in the city’s central Taksim Square.

Water cannon and tear gas were used as protesters tried to reach the square and the parliament building in the capital, Ankara.

 

It all started with a peaceful protest over plans to redevelop the Gezi Parka but it has become bigger than just an environmental protest. It is now a demonstration against the Islamist-rooted government of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

 

First pictures, then videos of brutal police attacks on unarmed protesters in Istanbul caused the protests to spread to other cities, with riot police being deployed in Ankara overnight. Continue reading “Turkey: Mega victory demos as killer police retreat”

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.

Kolectivo Bandera Negra: No bail for 5 anarchist ‘Facebook Terrorists’

****

.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”
