Guatemala genocide: Lopez arrested. 29 years late!

Ex-armed forces chief Lopez Fuentes arrested

Relatives of victims of Guatemala's civil war try to identify exhumed remains, Zacualpa, Guatemala (5 July 2001) Relatives of victims of Guatemala’s civil war try to identify exhumed remains
Guatemalan authorities have arrested a former armed forces chief accused of joining in massacres during the nation’s civil war nearly 30 years ago.Retired general Hector Mario Lopez Fuentes, 81, was detained in the capital, Guatemala City, on Friday.Human rights groups have accused him of participating in genocide and crimes against humanity during the military government of Efrain Rios Montt.It is not clear how Mr Lopez Fuentes is likely to plead to the charges.Guatemala’s office of public prosecutions said he was accused of being the intellectual author behind the killings of more than 300 indigenous Maya civilians from the Ixil region in 1982 and 1983.It is the latest high-profile arrest linked to alleged crimes committed during the country’s 36-year civil war.

More than 200,000 people were killed or disappeared during the conflict, the vast majority at the hands of the security forces.

take the streets. Police discredit BCN movement.

The blockade of the Catalan Parliament  has split and discredited the Take The Streets movement. Still suffering from the images of their brutal attacks on the Pl Catalunya the police left one gate unprotected, hoping the demonstrators would attack the Deputies trying to enter, on camera. A whole gang of police provoicateurs also took part (video now censored from Utube, see previous post).

Even so the mainly pacifist crowd let the deputies through, only shouting insults and spraying one communist with red paint. Just a little.

This was enough for the parliament to demand police charges, and for everypaper and media channel in the country to raise a horrified hypocritical howl of VIOLENCE AGAINST DEMOCRACY.

The politicians were gathering peacefully to vote a budget which will evict, throw out of work, leave without treatment etc 1000’s of people. Most entered dramatically in riot vans or by helicopter. The plot worked, especially as the demonstrators accepted guilt, apologised, etc..

About 5  people were arrested during the ‘incident’ and the police have promised exemplarary 10 year prison sentences. The irony is that they have discredited an obsessively pacifist youth movement as being criminally violent.

General Strike vs. IMF.. tomorrow in Greece..

#616| Pick a point, go there, stay there: on Wednesday June 15th we encircle and we block parliament

Monday, June 13, 2011

222 1024x659 #616| Pick a point, go there, stay there: on Wednesday June 15th we encircle and we block parliament

 

The map above pins the three blockade points that have been called by the Syntagma Assembly for Wednesday, June 15th at 7 a.m. These are Syntagma Square, the Panathenean Stadium and the metro stop “Euagelismos”. The General Strike demonstration will start at 11 a.m. at the Archeological Museum (on Patision Ave, by the Polytechnic) and will also head to Syntagma square.

The 15th of June is not the day of just another demonstration, and it’s not just another action. It has to be the first day of us taking back our lives, us striking back at this unprecedented assault by state, capital and the crypto-fascism of national consensus.

Words have little value at this point – everyone to the streets!

#615 | The popular assembly of Syntagma square calls for the blockade of Parliament – the new IMF agreement shall not pass

Sunday, June 12, 2011

Last night (June 11th) the popular assembly of Syntagma square announced a call to blockade the Greek parliament ahead of the voting of the so-called Mid-term agreement between the Greek government and the troika (IMF/ECB/EU). The new agreement includes wild tax increases, the further slashing of wages and pensions and the lay-off of approximately more 100,000 civil servants in the next few years.

The call-out for the blockade below is one of the most important acts we have seen by the Syntagma assembly so far. June 15th is gearing up to become a historical day in Greece, a crucial chance to block off the charge-ahead of neoliberalism here.

Don’t be a spectator to this – translate and disseminate the text below; organise a gathering where you are, or come join us at Syntagma. This is the struggle for and of our lives.

Greek original

24 hours in the streets!

We give our own RESPONSE to the MIDTERM AGREEMENT

June 15th, we encircle Parliament

Now that the government is trying to vote in the mid-term agreement, we encircle Parliament, we gather and we stay at Syntagma.

All together, we continue and strengthen the mobilisations that began on May 25th. Our first stop is the General Strike of June 15th. We won’t stop until they withdraw it.

We support by all means the General Strike and we demonstrate peacefully. On June 15th, we do not work  and we do not consume. We coordinate with all citizens who want to express their disagreement to the mid-term agreement, with the strikers and their unions, with the popular assemblies, with mobilisations and occupations across the country. We call artists to support the mobilisation, to take to the streets with us and to give it their own touch. We will have three big meeting points:

Everyone on Wednesday June 15th, at 7 am:

1. In front of Parliament

2. At the metro stop Euagelismos

3. At the Panathenaic Stadium (on Vasileos Konstantinou Avenue)

Until June 15th we will be going all over Athens to make sure that the call of the Popular Assembly of Syntagma is spread everywhere. We give a meeting of struggle for the day of the voting in of the Mid-term agreement.

Let’s make our own voice heard loudly:

THE MID-TERM AGREEMENT        SHALL NOT PASS

Popular Assembly of Syntagma Square June 11th, 2011

Belo Monte : death threats for Indigenous resistance

Indigenous leaders threatened with death

Indigenous leaders, community members, rural workers and members of social

movements are receiving death threats because of their opposition to the Belo

Monte Dam Complex on the Xingu River in Pará, Brazil.

The threats, which have been going on for some time now, are adding to an

extremely tense situation which has only worsened […]

Brasília, Brazil – The Brazilian government has issued the full installation license allowing the Belo Monte Dam Complex to break ground on the Amazon’s Xingu River despite egregious disregard for human rights and environmental legislation, the unwavering protests of civil society,..Continue Reading..https://thefreeonline.wordpress.com/2011/06/02/final-go-ahead-for-belo-monte-amazon-tragedy/

Amazon Watch has organized a “Cause” at Facebook:

“This has been a time of tragedy in the Amazon. This week the Brazilian government green-lighted construction on the monstrous Belo Monte Dam despite searing local, national and international opposition.

Yet despite the initiation of this criminal operation, I can assure you that the battle to defend the Xingu River and its people is far from over. “I have just returned from the Brazilian Amazon, where Chief Raoni gathered with hundreds of Kayapo warriors, indigenous leaders from 18 ethnicities, and leaders from the Xingu Alive Forever Movement (MXVPS).

“This is the last chance we have to paralyze Belo Monte’s construction,” Renata Pinheiro told the indigenous assembly. “The future of the Xingu is in your hands, indigenous peoples and social movements. You succeeded in stopping Belo Monte for 30 years – now more than ever we need to strengthen our resolve, joining forces to stop the beginning of construction.”

Amazonia: Dinho, Claudio and Maria murdered!.Forest criminals to be amnestied!

SLAUGHTERING THE AMAZON.. With the new Forest Law and amnesty for Forest crimes the ranchers and loggers are taking their opportunity by terrorist murders. Their business is the destruction of the Amazon, now with more impunity, to satisfy the demands of criminal capitalist transnationals like Burger King and MacDonalds.
Adelino  Ramos was killed for openly confronting the beef and timber mafia. Shot to death by cowardly bastards at his street stall while selling his forest produce. He was a famous ex leader of the  Movimiento Campesino Corumbiara and had survived a fascist massacre a decade ago. Un motociclista lo mató a tiros en Rondonia, norte del país.

Just 3 days before they got José Claudio Ribeiro da Silva and his wife, Maria do Espírito Santo da Silva, shooting her first and cutting off her ears. Claudio and Maria were outspoken forest defenders and cultivated Amazon produce.

At the time of murder Adelino, or ‘Dinho’,  was busy setting up a camp for people displaced by the wholesale massacre of the forest. He had been repeatedly threatened and recently denounced the escalating forest destruction in Acre, Amazonas y Rondonia states.

El debate sobre la explotación del Amazonas ha tomado gran vuelo en Brasil después de que en una semana se siguieran dos noticias contradictorias: la publicación de un alarmante aumento de los niveles de deforestación, y la aprobación en la noche del martes, por aplastante mayoría en el parlamento, de una reforma del Código Forestal brasileño que establece una amnistía general para todos aquellos que incurrieron en delitos contra la vegetación hasta 2008.

In just a few days we have the news of a seven fold increase in deforestation, the disgraceful passing of the new Forest Law (see other posts) by fascist landlords allied with greedy corrupt politicians, companies, and media, the go ahead and 1st contracts for the Belo Monte dam, and the signing of deals to let BP, of all companies, exploit the ultra deep oil bonanza near Rio.

International resistance has failed miserably despite the best efforts of Avaaz and Greenpeace. Resistance needs to be informed and intelligent, or it plays into the hands of nationalists who argue that ‘rich parasitic 1st Worlders have no right to lecture us after decimating their own forests, etc’.

La Policía reprime a manifestantes del 15-M en el Ayuntamiento de Madrid
by La Hainehttp://www.lahaine.org/index.php?p=54318 11 Jun 2011

Protestaban durante la investidura de Gallardón, al menos 3 heridos. En Valladolid, tres heridos. Detenciones en Burgos y Palma y más cargas en Tenerife

La Policía ha dispersado con violencia esta mañana a los manifestantes concentrados en las inmediaciones de la plaza de la Villa de Madrid. Allí se ubica el antiguo Ayuntamiento, donde se celebraba la sesión de investidura del alcalde de Madrid, el derechista Alberto Ruiz-Gallardón. Los agentes han dispersado con violencia (a patadas, puñetazos y empujones) a los manifestantes que protestaban con una cacerolada desde antes del inicio del pleno. La policía había bloqueado todos los accesos a la Plaza de la Villa, pero no la parte trasera en la que se sitúa la entrada del aparcamiento.

Heridos en Valladolid

En Valladolid, tres jóvenes indignados han resultado heridos esta madrugada, después de que un grupo ajeno al colectivo haya golpeado a varios manifestantes. Fuentes de la Policía Nacional han asegurado que se trataba de dos personas “pasadas de copas” que han entrado en el campamento y se han enzarzado en una pelea con los manifestantes, por lo que han sido identificadas, aunque no detenidas dada la “levedad” de los hechos. Otras fuentes hablan de elementos fascistas.

Detenciones en Burgos

También se han producido detenciones. Dos personas fueron detenidas este mediodía en la protesta a las puertas del Ayuntamiento de Burgos. Fuentes de la Policía Nacional aseguran que uno de ellos propinó un golpe en la espalda a uno de los agentes, mientras que otro fue detenido por sacar fotografías a los policías, según testigos presenciales.

Palma de Mallorca

Tres “indignados” del Movimiento 15-M han sido detenidos hoy por la Policía Local por trepar hasta el balcón del Ayuntamiento de Palma después del acto de constitución del consistorio celebrado esta mañana, han informado fuentes policiales.

Desalojo en Alicante

En Alicante se ha producido el desalojo sin mayores incidentes. Frente al Ayuntamiento alicantino una treintena de indignados que pasaban la noche para protestar contra la corrupción y manifestar contra la investidura de la alcaldesa entrante, la derechista Sonia Castedo, fueron obligados a abandonar la plaza a las 7.30 de la mañana.

Cargas en Tenerife

Efectivos del Cuerpo Nacional de Policía han efectuado varias cargas a lo largo de la tarde contra los ciudadanos que se manifestaban en los exteriores del Ayuntamiento de Santa Cruz de Tenerife, mayoritariamente miembros del Movimiento 15-M y de la Plataforma contra el Plan General.

Más de un centenar de ciudadanos se manifestaron durante toda la mañana en el exterior de la Casa de los Dragos mientras que en su interior, José Manuel Bermudez, era elegido alcalde de Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

Zamora

Según ha relatado la Cadena Ser de Zamora los incidentes han sido muy duros, con intervenciones policiales desde el primer momento que se han concluido con fuertes cargas y algunos heridos. No hemos dado con ninguna información actualizada pues los hechos son relativamente recientes. (Fuente valladolorentodaspartes.blogspot.com)
