Another demo
22.07.2001 12:56
Both demonstrations are worth attending in the interests of those in jail in Genoa and to remember the Italian anarchist murdered by police, Carlo Giuliani. But don't be fooled by the Leninists and their sectarian behaviour!

Mail me at . I think media campaign would be more effective than demo outside Italian embassy or something like that (1. press are looking for stories cause dail is out of session, 2. not enough people in Dublin now during holidays for demo).

Letter of Protest

I urge all to send your protests to the embassy, via Email, phone, fax or snail mail. Thank You. Also, won't be able to attend either on Monday. We need to lose the sectarianism if we are to achieve anything, please lets work together.
Remember the Spanish Civil War, POUM and CNT side by side, but forget about the Stalinists :).

Letter of Protest to Italian Embassy
21-07-2001 (G21)
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to you, the Italian
Embassy,
in protest at the rash and unforgivable actions of
your States paramilitary police force in Genoa
yesterday (20-07-01), i.e. the murder, (not
manslaughter), of protester Carlo Giuliani, 23, who
attacked a Carabinieri jeep with other protesters
during Friday's unrest. This is the most blatant form
of State repression yet to emerge in the Globalisation
debate, or rather non-debate.
The leaders of the G8, as with those of
other such global summits, summits that effect all,
choose to meet in secret behind closed doors where no
positive debate is possible. That is why people such
as Carlo see themselves as having no other option than
to resort to violence against a global force that is
being violent towards the vast majority of the people
that inhabit this planet. In effect, what has happened
is the killing, as Carlo was brutally and
cold-bloodedly shot down (and then reversed over), of
both democratic freedoms such as the right to
progressive and positive debate and the right to
gather, organise and protest.
Also, I have no doubts that the police
force of your State (and others) have acted on
occasions as Agent Provocateurs in the protests,
thereby legitimising the unnecessary and brutal force
meted out to protesters, both violent and peaceful.
One report has come to me, via the BBC website, of up
to thirty 'officers of the law' beating four
protesters. Such acts of terror by the State can only
serve to further widen the gap between protesters and
the world leaders. This only serves to reinforce, in
my mind, the Machevallian tactics being used by the G8
to stamp down on peaceful dissent. It seems you are
with the capitalists or you run the risk of a beating
or, in Carlo's case, death for your troubles.
This death is a turning point in the Global
Resistance's existence, and although I do not advocate
them, reprisals logically appear to be on the agenda.
And who can blame us, we were angry enough to begin
with and now your State, under the leadership of Mr.
Berlusconi, has slain one of our comrades. You have
given the movement its first martyr and upped the ante
for the next round of global conferences. Let us hope
that Carlo will be remembered as the ONLY martyr to
the movement. However, that is not up to us, it is up
to the global hegemonic forces of the G8, WTO, World
Bank etc etc. The onus is now on these institutions to
open full democratic debate and desist from hiding
from the people they are SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT. While
the leaders of the G8 feast, those of us who care
about the world mourn.
I stand in solidarity, although he has now
permanently fallen, with my anarchist comrade Carlo,
if indeed he was an anarchist. Our loss is also
paradoxically our gain. Like Bobby Sands and the nine
other 1981 hunger-strikers, we will not forget him and
what he died for, a better world free from the evils
of Global Capitalism and the tyranny of the few
against the masses.
Yours in Absolute Disgust,
K Squires,
Irish Socialist
