A demonstration of more than 1000 participants took place in the centre of Barcelona on sunday 8/10/00 in solidarity with the Prague’00 prisoners of the S26 protests against the
IMF/WB.
Activists gathered in the Rambla de Canaletas and after reading a manifesto in solidarity with the prisoners, the demonstrators divided themselves in three different groups. These resembled the three main groups of the Prague anti IMF/WB protests. The three groups (the blue, yellow and pink) marched through different routes to the Plaça Sant Jaume, the main centre of institutional power of Catalonia. Once the three groups arrived, the activists carried out a sit-down protest as well as chanting anti-capitalist slogans, demanding the immediate release of all Prague’00 prisoners and for social justice. There was also some tense moments when the demonstrators identified some well known police officers responsible of many repressive activities in the city of Barcelona.
The struggle against repression continues. Today monday
09/10/00 an assembly has been called in the Espai Obert
(c/ Blasco de Garay, 2, metro paral.lel) at 8pm.
A press conference has been called for today tuesday.
Salud and active solidarity!
MRG and Prague’00 Prisoners support group.
