Next Saturday "Today (Friday), the assembly of the occupied Athens Polytechnic decided to make a callout for European and global-wide actions of resistance in the memory of all assassinated youth, migrants and all those who were struggling against the lackeys of the state. Carlo Juliani; the French suburb youths; Alexandros Grigoropoulos and the countless others, all around the world. Our lives do not belong to the states and their assassins! The memory of the assassinated brothers and sisters, friends and comrades stays alive through our struggles! We do not forget our brothers and sisters, we do not forgive their murderers. Please translate and spread around this message for a common day of coordinated actions of resistance in as many places around the world as possible. “We don’t forget, we don’t forgive” - day of international action against state murders, Sat 20.12.2008 Related posts: Caption: Video Id: J4CFgpekgns Type: Youtube Video |

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4Where's the meeting point?
The demo for saturday is actually taking place at one in the afternoon and not 10. Should be more info soon.
The meeting piont for this demo is 1pm at the top of Grafton Street.
Whilst this demos has been called in solidarity with the popular up rising in Greece, in the context of cops killing an 15 yeare old boy, by shooting him at piont blank range in the chest, it should be remembers that many families in Ireland have had to deal with deaths of their children is less than clear circumstances
It should also be obvious that many deaths wiill result form the service cutbacks no proposed by our government. These clearly are a capitalist attack on ordinary people, as global capitalist seek to prop up a global finacial system which has injustice and inequality as one of its core principles
We will not forget this, nor will we forget that the police forces of the state have, as a primary concern, the continuation of the status quo, at all cost. One need only look to Rossport, or the disgusting treatment at the hands of the Guards, to families looking clear and honest answers, and justice, for the death of their loved ones, that in many circumstances, at the very least deserve full and independant public inquiries
