The demands of the activists from the Swiss Consulate are:
1. The immediate release of all prisoners who remain detained and imcommuincate since the G8 summit.
2. The complete withdrawal of criminal charges against all activists present during the bridge action.
3. A transparant, independent public inquiry into the training and orders and the general policing/security policy that surrounded this G8 sunnit. This public inquiry should also contain a specific invesitigation of the police team responsible for cutting the rope that caused the fall and subsequent injuries to Martin Shaw and his fellow activists.
4. The Swiss government to sign a written statement committing to take full responsibility for the acts of its police. This commitment to culpability should include the pledge to fully compensate all injured parties present during the bridge action, and other individuals who have incurred medical or judicial costs as a result of violent repression by the apparantly immune Swiss police forces.

The police did nothing wrong. All the trouble was started by the Black Bloc.

Black bloc? On the bridge? I dont think so.
The police, In case everyone doesn't know by now, cut a rope which was holding an English man, Martin Shaw, 25 metres high over a river. When the rope was cut Martin fell and landed on the river and rocks, breaking his legs, ankles, pelvis and injuring his spine. He was harming no one.
By some miracle Martin survived and by another miracle he will walk again eventually.

Black Bloc my foot : )

on the SP leader 'Mini Mao' Michael O'Brien. In the latest copy of the Socialist Party rag the Voice, O'Brien claims that the State forces behaved themselves at Evian!

Obviously, everyone else including Amnesty are lying.
