WE ARE EVERYWHERE! Oct 26 2001


Despite the attempts from Bolivian immigration to stop the third PGA conference, about 250 people, representing indigenous peoples, women's groups, peasants unions, ecological direct action and urban anarchist groups from over 70 countries, arrived to the host city of Cochabamba, Bolivia on Sept 2001. During one week of intense discussions, ideas of horizontal solidarity and strategies in the fight against capitalism were developed. Global sustained campaigns were proposed against militarism, para-militarism and state terrorism, as well as on territory and sovereignty, including privatisation and the resistance to Plan Colombia. A strong emphasis was made on the construction of grassroots alternatives to the rule of Capital. Calls were made to mobilise the Americas against the meeting of the FTTA in Ecuador, March 2002, as well as for the Global Days of Action against the WTO meeting in Qatar Nov 9th-12th.

At the end of the conference, a people's caravan left Cochabamba and is currently crossing the Latin American continent. The Caravan, made up of people from over 15 countries, has already gone through Ecuador and Peru First-hand report

People's Global Action is a global network of grassroots movements and groups, and a tool for communication and co-ordination of action against capitalism, imperialism and feudalism. Inspired by the struggle of the Mexican Zapatistas, PGA grew out of two international meetings of activists. The PGA network has been a key force behind the Global Days of Action and 'anti-globalisation' events of recent years.

UPDATE FROM G�TEBORG Oct 16 2001
On the morning of Tuesday 16th of October, 17 people were arrested in pre-dawn raids at their homes in several cities and towns across Sweden. Of the 17, two were released the same day after having admitted responsibility. The arrests were in conjunction with the protests at the EU Top Meeting in Gothenburg last June. Upon arrest for the crimes of "violent rioting" and "incitement to riot" the detainees were transported to several police stations in Gothenburg. An additional 3 individuals were 'arrested' in their absence and are currently being sought by the police. The rest are awaiting arraignment.

Additionally 4 people are still in custody in police stations since the anti-EU protests last June. Although they were already convicted in the court of appeal, none of them has been moved to prison yet. This prolonged detention has been criticised by many human rights groups around the world as an inhumane and illegal punishment.

ECONOMIC DISRUPTION IN TORONTO/CANADA OCT 16 2001


Several thousand people were marching through Toronto's financial district on Tuesday. The main demonstration started at dawn and was moving around through the rush-hour streets for several hours, out-maneuvering the police to enter into the financial district of the city. Although Bay Street, Canada's "Wall Street", wasn't completely shut down, business as usual was interrupted, major intersections were barricaded and subway station entrances were temporarily closed. Many companies and firms had told their employees to stay at home for the day.

The actions were the launch to a long-term campaign of "economic disruption" called by the Ontario Common Front - a coalition of more than 75 local groups. The campaign aims to oppose, through direct action, the policies of the right-wing Conservative government in Ontario, which include cutbacks in social services and attacks on the poor.

ANTI-WAR ACTIONS IN WASHINGTON DC Sep 26 - Oct 1 2001


A banner drop kicked off a week of anti-war actions in Washington DC on September 26th. The banner slogan "Violence Does Not Solve Violence; US Worker - Afghan Child, Why Value One Over the Other?" set the tone for the rallies, vigils, talks etc. to come. After the IMF/World Bank had cancelled their autumn meetings in the wake of the terrorist attacks in the US, some of the street protests had been called off while others changed their focus. The Anti-Capitalist Convergence and an anti-war coalition organised rallies and demonstrations, accompanied by a People's summit and 3 days of squatting actions to establish autonomous zones throughout the city.

On Saturday 29 September - a spontaneously declared global day of action against war - up to 20,000 people took part in a rally, and many more participated in demonstrations and vigils. Police came out in force to contain the actions and surrounded the demonstrations in several occasions. Incidents of of pepper spray use by police were repotred, and the antiwar march led to the arrests of 11 protesters. Read more on Indymedia DC.

S29 protests against racism and war took place all over the US and many other countries. While a 10,000 strong demonstration took place in Athens, Greece, and another 10,000 took the streets in Barcelona, Spanish State, 20,000 people were demonstrating in Napoli, Italy, where Nato had planned to hold a conference, which had then been re-located to Brussels.

AFTER THE TERRORIST ATTACKS IN THE US


After the hijacked airplane attacks on key buildings in the USA western security forces have begun outlining new "anti-terrorism" measures. These seem to include the criminalisation of Europe's social movements. As a result, in the Spanish State 24 activists have recently been arrested, and in Italy 60 people are accused of 'association leading to terrorism'. Meanwhile Italy's prime minister, Silvio Berluscony, claims links between "Islamist terrorism and the anti globalisation movement", by declaring that they have a "strange unanimity" and that "both are the enemies of western civilisation".

In the Spanish State, the Social movements of Catalonia are being singled out, and since last January they are suffering an unprecedented repressive offensive not seen in such a scale since Franco's times. Antimilitarists, anticapitalists, social centres, okupas, emigrants, amongst other groups, are being continuously harassed and repressed often under the draconian Spanish Anti-Terrorist laws. This campaign of criminalisation has been carried out through a series of political and security plots promoted directly from the Central Government Delegation in Catalonia and the Spanish Ministry of Interior, in which the Security forces, corporate media and the judiciary are joining efforts in this "war on terrorism".

Meanwhile several reports of physical and psychological torture are coming out of police stations and jails, and a campaign of support for these arrested is now taking place with demonstrations and actions in several cities of Catalonia. Activists from Terrassa have affirmed that "the objective of this criminalisation campaign is to hinder our mobilisation capability, as well as to try to isolate our movement from civil society."

In Italy, on Tuesday 18th of September, 100 raids were carried out by police in several anarchist Social Centres, squats and private homes all over the country. 60 people are formally under investigation for association leading to terrorism. The blitz was part of the State Prosecutor investigation into the movement "Solidarieta' Internazionale".

On the other hand, the Pinelli Social Center in Genoa and the Memorial to Carlo Guliani, the activist shot dead by the Carabinieri during the G8 protests last July, were targeted by fascist fire bombs on Sunday 16th of September. Many activists in Italy have been claiming links between the Italian security forces and neo-fascist groups, as well as fearing a return the State's repressive campaigns of the 70's and 80's.

BORDERCAMP FRANKFURT/GERMANY Jul 30 - Aug 5 2001


The series of border camps highlighting the racist and violent European border regime has been concluded with a camp near Frankfurt airport. Almost 2,000 people met there to make "internal borders" visible. Frankfurt airport is both a major place of arrival for refugees coming to Europe, and a channel through which many of them are deported.

In addition to a large number of meetings and talks highlighting racist aspects in society, the camp provided a base for creative actions both at the airport and in the city of Frankfurt. These included, amongst many others, actions against racist politicians, mock border controls at post code borders, an action "no peanuts for former forced labourers" at the stock exchange, theatrical performances in the airport terminals, and a large demonstration calling for the shut-down of the deportation prison at the airport. For three days, the airport was partly closed and everyday-business was restricted.

ANTI-G8 PROTESTS IN GENOA Jul 19 - 21 2001

Appeal for filing a suit for the Diaz school raid:Click here to find more about it.

Latest: Monday 1st October. Three German protesters are still in jail in Genoa. They've been reporting police butality and torture. Click here to send them your solidarity.

It was the biggest mobilisation against the globalisation of capitalism yet: An estimated 200,000 people converged on the Italian city of Genoa in the days before July 21, to protest against a meeting of the presidents and prime ministers of the seven richest countries in the world plus Russia.

Many people took part in a week-long counter-conference, which tried to identify alternatives to capitalist globalisation. On Thursday there was a massive peaceful demonstration for free movement and against the increasingly restrictive migration laws in the Western/Northern world. Friday saw a large variety of attempts to enter the restricted "red zone" where the G8-meeting was taking place, including peaceful blockades, a pink/silver march, violent attacks on police lines, and a massive Tute Bianchi march. On Saturday, a 200,000 strong demonstration concluded the actions.

While the extent of the protests was unprecedented in Europe, so was the brutality of the police response. Police attacked demonstrations with gas canisters, smoke rockets etc. on a regular basis, including the peaceful, legal march on Saturday and the Tute Bianchi demo on Friday, which triggered massive clashes between protesters and police. Police brutality culminated in the killing of Carlo Guliani and the violent raid on the Diaz school, which served as a sleeping place for protesters. All around the world, hundreds of demonstrations and actions took place in aftermath of Genoa, to protest against the police violence.

CAMPAIGN AGAINST MONOPOLIZATION OF THE MEDIA Jul 4 2001

On July 4th, Indymedia activists from Tel Aviv and Jerusalem went into Israel Parliment Hall and threw a pie on the face of Rubi Rivlin, the Communication minister. The local Indymedia group is on the first steps of a campaign against the monopolization of TV infrastructure and contents. The 3 cable TV companies are on their way to merge into one monster which also owns the major newspapers and magazines in Israel. But the 5 families which hold the Israel economy don't work alone. They are supported by politicians which work on modifing existing laws not only to allow the merger, but to allow them to get the wide-band wires where they could sell also phone and Internet services.

PROTESTS AGAINST MILITARY BASES IN CYPRUS Jul 3 2001


Angry crowds pelted sticks and stones at British military bases in Cyprus on Tuesday evening over plans to build a huge telecommunications masts at UK bases on the island.

Protesters and officers were injured and a police station destroyed at the western base of Akrotiri. Eight of the injured were still in hospital on Wednesday. Troops in riot gear faced a crowd of about 500 Greek Cypriots and fired tear gas, in clashes which lasted all evening.

Protesters say the six low-frequency masts to be built near UK bases by 2003 will emit radiation that could seriously harm local residents, especially children. They are also concerned about possible effects on migratory birds.

SALZBURG, AUSTRIA, WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM June 30 2001


On the day of its opening ceremony, a rally of 2000 people took place in Salzburg, Austria, to protest against the World Economic Forum (WEF) summit and against exploitation and injustice caused by many of the summit's participants. The crowd headed towards the conference centre, at times being stopped by police blockades and breaking through others. Almost in sight of the WEF meeting, the protest was eventually surrounded by police and held for over four and a half hours, with police periodically snatching people and baton-charging the crowd.

The action was part of a four day event against the WEF, including talks, conferences, street theatre, and party.

ANTI IMF/WB PROTEST IN PAPUA NEW GUINEA Jun 27 2001


Papua New Guinea activists promised to continue protests despite the escalating violence, and the fact that the curfew is still in place in many parts of the Country. On Monday 25, after five days of protests and government office occupations against the World Bank/IMF's privatisation policies and programs of structural adjustment, students were attacked by the police with the result of at least 3 dead and 60 injured. During the following hours severe disturbances occurred in the country's capital Port Moresby.

Many people in Papua New Guinea are worried about the consequences of the imminent privatisation of the country's public services. World Bank/IMF plans have already had a substantial effect on Papua New Guinea, manipulating local industries in the name of "responsible resource development and management, and introducing user fees at rural clinics (resulting in a 30 percent decline in attendance). Now In return for a promised loan of approximately $US210 million, the World Bank plans for Papua New Guinea include widespread privatisation of national industries and social programs and pave the way for increased clearing of rain forests.

The Country's trade union's Council has now called a general strike in support of the students, as well as calling for international support and actions against the WB/IMF and in solidarity of those struggling in PNG. The telephone number for messages of support is (675) 325 76 42 after the country's code.

ANTI-WORLD BANK CAMPAIGN BARCELONA Jun 22-25 2001


After four days of anti-capitalist festival, a counter-conference, street parties, and over 40,000 demostrators to protest against the World Bank and it's policies, the Campaign BCN-2001 has now announced its decision to bring a legal suit in order to investigate police (mis)conduct over the weekend. State 'agent provocateurs' within the crowd were seen to encourage the police attack of the Sunday's march, which started a repressive atmosphere for the next few days.

Months of local and autonomous actions, debates and conferences across Catalonia and the rest of the Spanish State, built towards these actions and forced the World Bank to announce the cancellation of its conference on Development Economics in Barcelona one month before its intended date.

Despite the cancellation, the organising group BCN-2001 said the motives which had inspired the protests still existed and the campaign went ahead under the slogan "Another World is Possible, Let's Globalise the Resistances and Solidarity".

During the weekend of June 22-25, thousands of people from around the world converged on the Mediterranean city to show their protest against the Bank's disastrous development policies. Read the reports, and follow the links below to see a full account, timeline and visual information of the events, as well as reports as they came in off the street:

LUFTHANSA ONLINE DEMONSTRATION Jun 20 2001


The German airline Lufthansa was the target of one of the first openly publicised "online demonstrations" on Wednesday, June 20th. Coinciding with the annual general meeting of Lufthansa, thousands of protesters logged on to the website of the corporation using specific software, and so temporarily blocked access to the site. Although the company had enough time to prepare counter-measures - the action is part of a wider campaign and was publicised months in advance - its website was repeatedly unaccessible and online booking impossible.

The action highlighted Lufthansa's role in the deportation of refugees. Every year, thousands of refugees are deported from Germany on Lufthansa planes, and the airline benefits heavily from this practise by selling so-called "Deportee-Tickets" to the state. In many cases, refugees have been violently tied to seats by German border police, so far two refugees were killed on Lufthansa planes.

Thousands converge in Sweden's second largest city to protest at the European Union summit. Migration, corporate Europe and militarisation are among the many issues raised by protesters.

GOTHENBURG ANTI-EU PROTESTS Jun 14-16 2001


At the three-day anti-EU protests in Gothenburg, Sweden, police have fired with live ammunition at protesters and have seriously injured three people. The incident happened at a streetparty on Friday night, when a small group of police attacked the party but were pushed back by the people. Despite mainstream media claims of police self-defence, the video evidence shows that at least some of the shots were targeted shots aimed at particular protesters from a distance, in a situation where there was no immediate threat to police officers.

More than 20,000 people had converged on Gothenburg to protest against the EU summit and to discuss related issues, such as militarisation and increasing repression against refugees. While on the first day actions focused on the presence of US president George W. Bush, the second day saw widespread attempts to reach the conference centre and to disrupt the meeting. On Saturday, 25,000 people joined a mass demonstration "For Another Europe".

Swedish police escalated the situation from the first day, when they attacked the protesters' legal meeting and sleeping place. Throughout the weekend there were heavy clashes between protesters and police, but also peaceful marches and cheerful streetparties.

Many international groups, campaigns and individuals have already announced their intention to respond the renewed Call to Action. Read a call for increased mobilisation by some UK activists.

The story so far:

The World Bank cancelled its summit in Barcelona fearing disruptions from demonstrators. Protesters from around the world planned to converge there June 25 for the 2001 Annual Bank Conference on Development Economics. The World Bank announced that the meeting will take place online instead.

Explaining the decision, World Bank's spokeswoman Caroline Anstey said, "A conference on poverty reduction should take place in a peaceful atmosphere free from heckling, violence and intimidation". She also blamed the groups who plan to convege on Barcelona "of trying to disrupt the Conference", and she added: "We do not want to expose academics from around the world and our hosts in Spain to such a situation." Particularly, she said, "It is time to take a stand against this kind of threat to free discussion."

The co-ordination commission of the Campaign Against the World Bank BCN-2001 stated in a communique that the cancellation of the WB's Conference is an unprecedented success of the Movement against capitalist globalisation. The communique also announced that: "the motives which had inspired the protests still exist, and therefore that the mobilisations will carry on as expected, despite the cancellation of the official meeting".

CASTOR PROTESTS IN GERMANY Mar 26-29 2001


Thousands of anti-nuclear waste protesters have severely delayed a train transporting nuclear waste from the French reprocessing plant La Hague to the repository at Gorleben, Germany. A variety of actions, from sit-ins on the tracks, to tractor blockades by local farmers, to direct confrontations by black bloc 'Autonome' succeeded in stopping the train for one day and raising the costs of the transport to unprecedented levels. The train finally reached its Gorleben destination on Thursday morning.

The Castor train had arrived in the Wendland region on Wednesday with only a few hours delay, but then the plans to proceed the remaining 50 kilometres went into total disarray. Thousands of people had blocked the tracks and could only be moved by police using extreme force. At Sueschendorf, five Robin Wood activists had chained and cemented themselves inbetween the railtrack, forcing the train to stop and even retreat for the first time in the history of Castor transports. It took police 20 hours to remove the activists.

Earlier on Tuesday, the train had to wait for several hours in Lueneburg until police had removed a 1600 strong x-1000 blockade - later a train carrying the arrested activists was blocked by more protesters. Blockades near Goettingen had already forced the Castor train to change route. On Tuesday morning, Greenpeace activists abseiled with chains connected to the track from Seerau bridge and succeeded in holding their position for six hours. In the evening, 12,000 people had demonstrated in nearby Dannenberg. Read more in Tuesday's short summary.

As early as Sunday, protesters had blockaded and barricaded the railtrack, surrounded the storage site and demonstrated in Dannenberg. See as well the video of the opening demonstration in Lueneburg on Saturday.

With a deployment of 20,000 police in the small region around Gorleben alone, the transport was secured by the biggest police operation post-war Germany has ever seen. Despite their impressive presence in the region, police could only complete the transport by using extreme force. This included baton-charging peaceful sitting-blockaders on a regular basis and violent raids on resistance infrastructure. Read more on police strategies here. On Tuesday alone, there were 1410 arrests.

FTAA PROTESTS IN QUEBEC Apr 20-22 2001


Up to 50,000 demonstrators filled the streets of Quebec, and thousands more staged solidarity demonstrations this weekend in what has become an uprising of opposition to closed and elite international trade negotiations. The trigger of unrest was the meeting of leaders of 34 American nations in Quebec to further the ratification of the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA). If implemented, FTAA policies, a more extreme version of North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), are likely to spread the latter's devastating effects throughout the Americas, serving the interests and privileges of capital, while the most basic rights and interests of citizens, consumers, workers and the environment are perpetually recast as "trade barriers".

An array of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), unions, grassroots groups, and concerned individuals united to voice their concerns and to disrupt the meeting. Massive demonstrations, ranging from peaceful protests to direct confrontations, took place in Quebec. Elsewhere, the US/Canadian and US/Mexican borders were blockaded for several hours.

Police reacted with heavy use of tear gas, plastic bullets, and water cannons. Legal demonstrations, such as the union march, and confrontational actions were attacked alike. Police also fired rubber bullets into the foyer of Indymedia Quebec and evicted the activists' medical centre at gunpoint. Read a report on police repression by Indymedia Quebec.

On Friday, the 10 foot high steel fence surrounding the centre of Quebec was partially demolished by protesters and was repeatedly breached over the weekend. 3.8km of fence had been put up by the authorities to make sure the meeting was not 'disturbed' by critical voices.

Zapatista caravan to Mexico City

On February 24th, 23 EZLN commanders, one subcommander, and hundreds of supporters from all over the world embarked on a journey through a large number of Mexican states to the capital Mexico City, to bring the seven year-long Zapatista struggle to the centre of Mexican political power. Their demands were: implementation of the San Andres accords of indigenous rights, release of all political prisoners, and closure of seven military bases in Chiapas.

During this caravan, they held rallies and public meetings in many Mexican towns, took part in an indigenous congress in Nurio, spoke in front of 200.000 people on the central square of Mexico City and later in front of the Congress. Most importantly, they mobilised civil society both in Mexico and abroad for indigenous rights, against neoliberalism, and for an "inclusive, tolerant and plural tomorrow - which is, incidentally, the only tomorrow possible" (Subcommandante Marcos).

On this page, you will find a detailed account of the various stages of the caravan and of the events during the EZLN's stay in Mexico City, reflections on the caravan, and some background on the Zapatistas.

Also, read a comprehensive update on the situation in Chiapas (May 2001) since the last round of negotiations between the EZLN and Fox's government broke down on April 29.

 

---

The final stage: Mexico City

After two weeks of holding public meetings in several places around the capital and putting pressure on President Fox and the Congress, the Zapatista delegation was finally invited to speak in front of the Mexican Congress. On Wednesday 28th March, the EZLN commanders and representatives of the great majority of the Indian peoples of Mexico met the Congress of the Union in the San Lázaro Legislative Palace. Comandanta Esther, Comandante David, Comandante Zebedeo, Comandante Tacho and representatives of the Indigenous National Congress spoke in front of the Mexican legislators to promote the constitutional recognition of indigenous rights and culture. Afterwards, The EZLN held a rally in front ofCongress Palace and announced their return to Chiapas.

A week earlier, the EZLN had announced that they would leave on Friday 23 March in response to the government's unwillingness to meet their demands. President Vicente Fox had responded to that with a promise of imminent release of prisoners and of dismantling of three army bases in Chiapas.

The EZLN had then postponed its departure from Mexico City in order to speak in Congress. Read Analysis on Fox's last gasp effort to stall Zapatista Delegation's return to the Lacandon jungle.

Meanwhile in Chiapas, the federal army proceeded in dismantling its fifth military base, Rio Euseba. When the Zapatista delegation arrived back in Chiapas, the sixth and seventh base were also abandoned by the military, fulfilling one of the Zapatista's three central demands. However, there have also been reports of renewed military harrasment in the area.

After several weeks of negotiations between the General Command of the EZLN and the Federal Government, the EZLN finally decided to break the dialogue with the Mexican legislators because "the reforms accorded by the Mexican parliament do not respect the San Andres accords".

On the 29 of April, the EZLN announced with two communiques their decision and stated that "we are going to continue with our resistance and rebellion until such a time when the rights and culture of indigenous peoples are constitutionally recognised in Mexico".

Reflections on the March

"Today war is a bit further away than it was, and peace, justice and dignity a bit nearer", Subcommandante Marcos affirmed in front of thousands of zapatista indigenous people in the heights of the mountains of Chiapas on April 1st. He pointed out that one of the main achievements of the Zapatista March has been that of bringing the issue of indigenous rights to the centre of national consciousness and making it one of the main debates in the whole of Mexico.
