The prosecution requested five years in prison for a campaign of boycott El Corte Ingles

https://directa.cat/actual….translated mostly from post below by Jesus Rodriquez, with thanks.

The prosecution requested five years prison each for a boycott campaign of the dept. store chain El Corte Inglés, which are upmarket stores histrorically controlled by far right anti-union commercial interests.

The three militants of the CNT Barcelona are accused of crimes of obstruction of justice and coercion in a boycott campaign started in the fall of 2015, which was in solidarity against the trial of two anarchists for picketing incidents at one of the stores back in the general strike of 29 March 2012.

The boycott was a success and the original 3 picketers were cleared, but then 24 people were accused of the Boycott, now reduced to only three, but demanding long sentences. Continue reading “The prosecution requested five years in prison for a campaign of boycott El Corte Ingles”

UK: Cyclists Tail and Block Police Deportation Snatch Van

UK , London: Group of cyclists tail immigration enforcement snatch van through the streets of London

from actforfreedom Submitted anonymously – Today a group of people on bicycles encircled and tailed an immigration arrest van through the streets of central London as it was on its way to carry out a raid.

This was done to alert people to the existence of these vans and their daily incursions into our neighbourhoods. It was also done to disrupt the smooth running of immigration enforcement; a machine that rounds people up, detains them indefinitely, and expels them from the country to face unknown dangers.

30,000 Massacred by Tory cuts in Health and Social Care

Elected by a minority the UK Tory party revel in robbing, squeezing and in this case killing the population to benefit the established ruling class. The UK is a toxic blend of institutions, parties, schools, law, work, prisons, property, police, family, etc. which mould our minds and have always blocked all chance of revolution.. ……but OUR TIME WILL COME

http://www.ox.ac.uk/ Researchers (published by the Royal Society of Medicine) exploring why there has been a substantial increase in mortality in England and Wales in 2015 conclude that failures in the health and social care system linked to disinvestment are likely to be the main cause.

There were 30,000 excess deaths in 2015, representing the largest increase in deaths in the post-war period. The excess deaths, which included a large spike in January that year, were largely in the older population who are most dependent on health and social care.

However, they did put out tweets suggesting her lifestyle was the cause of her own death, implying that her romantic relationships, alleged drinking, and her decision to live with her boyfriend, all made her a person with questionable morals. ..

Important! Solidarity and Support for new Occupied College ‘La Ingobernable’ ,The UnGovernable (Valencia)

Some twenty people occupy a historic higher school of the University of Valencia

Important! Solidarity and support for the companions of the newly squatting space La Ingobernable (Valencia)Posted on 2017/05/02 by from La Rebelión de las Palabras The Rebellion of WordsI receive in the email and I spread the following statement of the compas who are squatting the space of La Ingobernable, a new space of struggle and meeting open at the University of Valencia, squatting for a week and opened yesterday.

The assembly of the liberated space The Ungovernable communicates that after a week of squatting, and to make public this May 1st, the university has responded decisively, increasing private security (in collaboration with local and national police) until leaving us in a State of siege. This means that no person can leave or enter the building, not allowing us to provide any basic supplies such as water and food.

This is a space that the University abandoned its fate for more than 5 years, under the pretext that it was disabled and was a risk to its occupants. Not long ago the Goerlich foundation of architects denied this version, declaring that the space is in perfect condition to be used and reopened again.
