Indymedia Journalists Targeted in Ecuador, Five Arrested
09.05.2008 01:50
Ecuadorian police detained five journalists associated with Ecuador Indymedia late Tuesday night, May 6th. Four of the five were released from custody on Wednesday afternoon. The government says that the four activists were detained because of their relationship with the fifth detainee, Ecuadorian resident and Colombian national Antonio Alcívar.
The government at first refused to issue a statement on the matter or inform the detainees of the reason for their arrests. The Regional Foundation for Assistance in Human Rights (INREDH) noted that this was a violation of the detainees' constitutional right to be clearly informed of the reason for their detention along with the identities of those who ordered and carried out the arrests.

May Day 2008 Parades
06.05.2008 20:27
Since 2001, Euro May Day Parades on the 1st of May have spread all around Europe.
The May Day Parade is a transnational march which expresses the common will to fight the precarity of work and the criminalization of migrants, to make the daily struggles of the precarious visible. Every year hundred thousands of people protest against the precarity of work and life in a context where worktime can be expanded with no limits, and where migrant workers are the most precarious of all workers. This year, the EuroMayDay network called for a joined parade in Aachen, where, on the same day, French president Nicolas Sarkozy and German chancellor Angela Merkel received the Charlemagne prize. Referring to Charlemagne as the founder of Western culture, it honours people for their contribution to European unificaton. In Hamburg, one thousand nazis tried to recuperate the MayDay, ten thousands antifa met there and cancelled the nazi demo in the most violent riots in Hamburg since 80's. In Milano, there was 100.000 people in the euromayday parade [ video ].
In US, tens of thousands marched and held demonstrations on Thursday 1st of may, calling for an end to war and dignity for immigrants and workers. Dockworkers on the west coast defied their union bosses and staged a one day strike against the war, effectively shutting down all port activity [ pics ]. High school and university students staged walkouts in Venice and San Francisco. Protesters also called out unjust military recruiting and defended public housing.
In New-Zealand, near Blenheim, ploughshares penetrate Waihopai base and deflate satellite dome.
MayDay Parades and Immigrant marches were held all around the world:

Días de acciones descentralizadas en defensa de lo espacios ocupados y autónomos
, 16.04.2008 09:16
Activistas de fuera y dentro de Europa han nombrado el viernes y sábado 11 y 12 de abril de 2008, como días de acción para los espacios ocupados y autónomos. En una reunión que tuvo lugar el año pasado en Dijon, en el espacio autónomo "Les Tanneries", se hizo un llamamiento para organizar dos días de acciones descentralizadas en defensa de los espacios libres y de la cultura popular y anticapitalista. El objetivo de los días de acción es desarrollar las conexiones y la solidaridad entre los espacios autónomos y ocupados y fomentar su crecimiento como un movimiento político europeo y global. Hay acciones públicas planeadas en Austria, Bielorrusia, República Checa, Dinamarca, Finlandia, Francia, Alemania, Grecia, Irlanda, Israel, Italia, Lituania, los Países Bajos, Nueva Zelanda, Noruega, Polonia, Portugal, Serbia y Suecia entre otros. En Copenhague se han anticipado con una acción que apoya la creación de una nueva "casa de juventud" Ungdomshuset una manifestación a la que asistieron 5.000 personas y que culminó con una enorme fiesta en las calles . En Reino Unido, se han realizado ocupaciones en el centro de Leeds , Nottingham, y Londres. Otras acciones tuvieron lugar por adelantado en Amsterdam (nl) (pl) (en), Hamburg (de) y Innsbruck (de). Innsbruck (de),.Uno de los objetivos de este fin de semana de acción es “inspirar y capacitar a aquellos” que no están familiarizados con la ocupación. Mediante la discusión de campañas y compartiendo conocimientos y habilidades nos podemos ayudar los unos a los otros, así como atraer a gente nueva mediante la creación de un sitio interesante y excitante. Throughout the weekend there will be independent media coverage of actions, video and radio reports from around Europe.

Represión violenta en la cumbre de la OTAN en Rumania
, 15.04.2008 09:03
El 2 de abril a las 12:30 aproximadamente, cientos de policías rumanos llevaron a cabo una redada en un centro de convergencia en Bucarest, la capital rumana. El lugar de convergencia se había establecido para facilitar la reunión anti-OTAN y estaba alquilado legalmente. Se ha informado que durante la redada al menos dos manifestantes fueron hospitalizados. Varios informes afirman que los detenidos son brutalmente golpeados incluso cuando son llevados al hospital, varias personas están gravemente heridas y a algunas se les ha negado asistencia médica.
Se estima que 46 personas han sido arrestadas. Ninguna manifestación o acción tuvo lugar antes de la redada y todos los arrestos se hicieron en el centro de convergencia. Los oficiales de policía llevaban la cara cubierta y fueron muy agresivos con los periodistas que intentaban acceder al lugar de la acción. El centro de convergencia está localizado cerca del centro de Bucarest, que será la sede de la cumbre de la OTAN que acaba de empezar hoy. Se estima que hasta 27.000 oficiales de policía, francotiradores y policía secreta están “protegiendo” la ciudad. Se ha declarado código de alerta de seguridad amarillo, lo que significa que se prohíbe el acceso a la ciudad a todos los manifestantes y que se aplicarán otras leyes restrictivas.

Santuario Sagrado Chámanico amenazado por especulación inmobiliria en Brasilia
, 04.04.2008 01:49
En Brasilia, la Administración local quiere construir un barrio de lujo denominado « Noroeste », en el lugar donde viven indígenas de varias etnias : Fulniõ/Thapuwia, Tuxá, Cariri-Xocó, que hace más de 30 años recuperaron el lugar (que durante el proceso de invasión les fue robado). El Santuario de los Pajés es la última área de vegetación nativa de los Cerros de la capital del país. Es un santuario ambiental de alto valor para la recarga de la red hidrográfica, siendo al mismo tiempo posada para indígenas de paso por el Distrito Federal y hogar para los indígenas que ahí viven, que en estos paisajes se reconectan con la sabiduría ancestral y sus prácticas espirituales y culturales. Los intereses financiero-especulatorios son importantes, y por ende son defendidos por aquellos que deberían trabajar por un medio ambiente saludable y por la pluralidad cultural, en lugar de ser portavoces de los intereses privados que quieren destruir el Santuario de los Pajés, los Pueblos Originarios, y el medio ambiente. El Gobernador José Roberto Arruda, envuelto en el escándalo de violación del Panel del Congreso Nacional algunos años atrás, el vice-gobernador Paulo Octavio –senador retirado, dueño de la mayor empresa inmobiliaria de Brasilia, dueño de un canal de televisión, dueño del Diario de Brasilia (cual Citizen Kane)- quieren destruir esta historia, usando como propaganda que el barrio sería ecológicamente sostenible, un modelo de modernidad y progreso, cuando en la realidad se trata de una prueba de intolerancia, prejuicios y racismo del modelo de desarrollo capitalista eurocéntrico que destruye la naturaleza y extermina los indígenas, negros y todos aquellos que se oponen a sus mega proyectos. Según el Gobernador Arruda : « Hay quienes piensan que no deberíamos construir el sector « Noroeste » para que los indios sigan viviendo ahí. Obviamente esta no es mi opinión. » El barrio está destinado a la clase alta del país y el metro cuadrado podría costar desde un principio alrededor de 6000 reales (U$ 3500) . Serían más de 100 mil personas y cerca de 150 mil carros máximo, lo que perjudicaría aún más a Brasilia en el período tan duro de la sequía, así como implicaría riesgos de contaminación de los nacimientos de ríos. No hay motivo para la construcción de este barrio pues, según el IBGE (Instituto Brasilero de Geografía y Estadística) habría más de 53 mil inmuebles desocupados por opción de los propietarios. La supuesta demanda habitacional de clase alta es en realidad una demanda de flujo de capital, lo que comprueba la fuerte especulación finaciero-inmobiliaria de los grupos empresario-gobernamentales de la capital federal del Brasil.

In Aotearoa (New Zealand), 3 people were arrested at a Fossil Fools Day protest in Otautahi/Christchurch. One report speak of "blatant police harassment, prosecution of activists, with no possible justification for arrests and brutality." A group of climate change activists also presented Air New Zealand with New Zealand's first ever 'Fossil Fool' award. The company was chosen for the award because of their recent eco-branding program which "attempts to give their customers the impression that damage to the climate due to air travel can can be offset".

Five Years Too Many!! the US anti-war movement steps it up
23.03.2008 11:05
On the 5th anniversary of the Iraq invasion, anti-war protesters across the United States stepped up actions of civil disobedience to make their voices heard. From Washington, DC to San Francisco to Boston, hundreds of people were arrested while blockading streets; targeting federal buildings, corporate headquarters and military recruitment stations; and participating in walkouts. Thousands more participated in vigils and support demonstrations. See Below for Roundup of Actions.
These actions followed what is probably most significant and underreported anti-war action in the last 5-years — the Iraq Veterans Against the War's "Winter Soldier" hearings. For four days in Washington, DC, former US military who were in Iraq and Afghanistan testified about US war crimes in the two wars and dramatically condemned the Bush administration and Pentagon for starting the wars. "Winter Soldier" hearings were first held in 1971 in DC by the Vietnam Veterans Against The War and were pivotal in bringing the Vietnam War to an end. This year's hearings were broadcast live on the internet and they were seen by the public at many locations organized by anti-war activists in multiple states; however, the IVAW Winter Soldier was largely ignored by most corporate media. Coverage from Washington DC | NYC | Boston | Rustbelt Radio | Indybay | Baltimore
The last few weeks also saw scattered nationwide protests against the war on International Women's Day. These mass actions follow a year of innovation in the anti-war movement, including the successful targeting of military recruitment centers, corporations and war shipment operations in port cities; as well as the continual gathering of thousands of weekly and monthly peace vigils nationwide (see Eagle Rock, CA, Washington County, OR).
The latest poll in March showed that 65% of Americans are opposed to the war in Iraq, yet coverage of the anti-war movement by corporate media has continued to decline. Organizers and independent media workers are working to counter that silence. A statement released by students in Portland, OR, reads: "We as students also believe that anti-war efforts have been too moderate and passive to make a difference."

Alto a los asesinatos y amenazas contra los organizadores de la marcha del 6 de marzo
18.03.2008 15:47
El 6 de marzo pasado cientos de miles de personas se movilizaron en 24 lugares del país en la jornada solidaria convocada por el Movimiento de Víctimas de Crímenes de Estado MOVICE. El mismo día se realizaron actos de solidaridad en 74 ciudades del mundo. Desde el momento en que se hizo pública la propuesta de la jornada, la estigmatización y los señalamientos, provenientes fundamentalmente del alto Gobierno y de otros sectores de extrema derecha, han generado un clima de polarización cuyas consecuencias no se han hecho esperar. Desde el 10 de febrero y por varios medios de comunicación el asesor presidencial José Obdulio Gaviria señaló la marcha del 6 de marzo de ser "convocada por las Farc". El 12 de febrero se difundieron por correo electrónico panfletos amenazantes contra los organizadores de la marcha. Luego se ha desatado una ola de asesinatos.
International Day of Action Marks Four Years Since the Coup Against Aristide
16.03.2008 12:04
“[P]eople in Haiti tell us that all of this stuff has an impact. The more people are doing in other counties, even small events like this one, have an impact because the word is starting to get out to people. So any small thing that you can do really helps.” – Margaret Prescod of "Sojourner Truth" Radio
On Saturday, March 1st, as part of the International Day of Action in Solidarity with the People of Haiti, the www.globalwomenstrike.net hosted a showing of the films Haiti: Harvest of Hope (see the trailer here) and What’s Going on in Haiti? at the Eastside Café in Los Angeles. Margaret Prescod of Pacifica Radio and Women of Color in the Global Women’s Strike, moderated the event. "The Reports that I’ve gotten are is that things are going very well, there were events in about 36 cities around the world,” she said. “There were four major events in Haiti yesterday, including in Port au Prince, that were quite large, including a contingent of people who were also demanding the safe return of Lovinsky Pierre-Antione, one of our comrades who’s been missing in Haiti” (see: http://la.indymedia.org/news/2007/11/210199.php).
