Barcelona: delayed court verdict as frame up of jailed ‘Anarchist 8’ unravels

Update Update Update

7 of the 8 anarchists are still in prison. The decision on the court hearing will take 2 to 7 days

Translation of the tweets from the defence group after the 4 hr court picket

”We have finished the picket at the provincial court at around 1:00 pm.
Upon leaving, the lawyers told us that although the accusation has been ratified, no new evidence was presented”

”The three magistrates have to deliberate, to make the announcement can take between two days, four or even a week. They will pronounce a ruling for each one of the companions. So far this is the news we have, when we have more news we will share it.”@presxs27febrer·Apr 20, 2021

Now they are the 7 anarchists, the woman accused of ”setting a police van on fire” (slight damage to paintwork) was released ‘thanks to forensic evidence’, it seems the identification failed.

Incredibly the police just jumped on the wrong woman, outside their own police station, and refused for 5 weeks to admit it. Perhaps because she looked like an ‘okupa’, and ironically it’s illegal NOT to wear a mask

Great news for her, and also because she and the other 7 were charged COLLECTIVELY WITH ATTEMPTED MURDER of the policeman inside the van, as the police claimed they are a ‘criminal organisation’ so all are responsible (this works under repressive Spanish law).

Billionaires leading push for nuclear reactors in Canadian mining

By Joyce Nelson, Rabble, April 19 2021https://rabble.ca/news/2021/04/billionaires-leading-push-nuclear-reactors-canadian-miningThis is part two of a two-part series on small modular reactors.

In January 2019, Gordon Edwards, president of the Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility, warned that the Trudeau government has a “desire to build small modular nuclear reactors [SMRs] all over Canada, especially in the North, to support the accelerated exploitation of natural resources.” Edwards included an excerpt from Nuclear Energy Insider, published January 16, 2019, which stated: “Canada’s large mining sector is seen as a key early market for SMR plants as operators look to reduce carbon emissions and costs.”

That “early market” for small modular reactors has been cleverly targeted by a key lobby group. As I wrote forWatershed Sentinel, Bill Gates and 28 other billionaires and “high-net-worth” individuals launched the Breakthrough Energy Coalition at the 2015 Paris…

Spycops, union victimisation, and action against Kier’s prison profiteering

full info here: Police Spies Out of Lives

Kate Wilson

Cautiously pessimistic

A few quick notes:

Tomorrow, Tuesday April 20th, Kate Wilson will be appearing in court in London as part of an ongoing case she’s bringing against the cops who spied on her:

“Kate Wilson was deceived into a long term intimate relationship by Mark Stone, who she now knows was undercover police officer Mark Kennedy.

A decade after Kate’s legal case against the police began, it concludes with a hearing at the Investigatory Powers Tribunal from 20th-28th April.

Among other issues, this case will examine sexist discrimination within the Metropolitan Police Service, and the systemic disregard for women’s fundamental human rights between 1998 and 2010.

Her case refers to the actions of at least 6 different undercover officers serving in the secret political spycops units, the Special Demonstration Squad and the National Public Order Intelligence Unit, during that time.

Kate has already received startling admissions that the police breached…

Legalise the PKK ! EU courts declare Kurdish group a ‘party to conflict’ and ‘not terrorist’

We republish this post from 2921-now more relevant than ever, as war criminal Erdogan tries to win the election by racist arresting and criminalising of Kurds labelled without proof as supporters of the PKK (now on a unilateral ceasefire).

from medyanews.net…/thecanary.co… shared with thanks

Labeling of the PKK as a terrorist organization is controversial; as an array of organizations, people, and NGOs contend that the PKK does not engage in organized terrorist activities, or systemically target civilians.^{[45][46][47][48][49][50]} In 2020, the supreme court of Belgium ruled that the PKK was not a terrorist organization, instead labeling the group as an actor in an internal armed conflict.^[54][55]

PKK terrorists plotting on Working Women’s Day in Nusaybin before the Turkish NATO airforce demolished their city

In 2008 and in 2018 the EU court of Justice ruled the PKK was classified as a terror organization with a lack of due process.^[51][52^] However, the EU still classifies the PKK as a terror organization.^[53] In 2020, the supreme court of Belgium ruled that the PKK was not a terrorist organization, instead labeling the group as an actor in an internal armed conflict.^[54][55]

The PKK was founded in November 1978 in the village of Fis (near Lice), by a group of Kurdish students led by Abdullah Öcalan. For many uyears it was a Kurdish armed guerrilla movement, which has historically operated throughout Greater Kurdistan, but is now primarily based in the mountainous Kurdish-majority regions of southeastern Turkey and northern Iraq.
