Rechazo a las nuevas sentencias en el caso Atenco

“¡También exigimos seguridad contra el secuestro!”

El martes 26 de agosto manifestantes acompañaron a los abogados presentando una apelación contra las nuevas sentencias dictadas en el caso Atenco la semana pasada sin una sola prueba plena. El juez primero Alberto Cervantes, quien reconoció que la decisión sobre las sentencias “venía de allá arriba”, ha sido reemplazado. A la vez hay un aumento de hostigamiento contra el plantón fuera de la prisión. El Frente de Pueblos en Defensa de la Tierra anuncia una serie de acciones.

Antiguo corresponsal de Indymedia entre los detenidos en China

El antiguo corresponsal de Indymedia Boston y activista de los medios Bryan Conley, fundador del videoblog Alive in Baghdad, es uno de los seis ciudadanos estadounidenses detenidos en China por cubrir acciones de Estudiantes por un Tibet Libre durante las olimpiadas. Los otros cinco activistas pro-Tibet son Rae, Jeff Goldin, Michael Liss, Tom Grant y James Powderly. El 21 de agosto, el gobierno chino los sentenció a 10 dias de detención.

Acción directa cancela proyecto de industra pesada en Islandia

Islandia tiene una reputación de energñia limpia y generalmente es el ejemplo clásico de la limpia energía geotérmica. Pero recientemente, las corporaciones del aluminio ALCOA, RioTinto-Alcan y Century Aluminium están presionando para un desarrollo geotérmico intensivo y a gran escala para impulsar nuevas fundidoras en la isla, destruyendo grandes tramos de naturaleza intacta. Y esto no es suficiente. Si todos los planes de industria pesada son llevados a cabo, todos los rios glaciales importantes también serán afectados.

La organzación Saving Iceland está llevando a cado su cuarto campamento de acción directa en medio de la naturaleza islandesa. A lo largo de las últimas semanas, el trabajo en el sitio de construcción de la fundidora de Century Aluminum Helguvik fue detenido por un dia. La fundición existente de Century, así como una fábrica de acero fueron bloqueadas, deteniendo el cambio de turno durante varias horas. Un sitio de perforación geotérmica de Reykjavik Energy en Hellisheidi, siendo construido para Century fue cumpletamente cerrado por un dia ya que los activistas se encadenaron a las máquinas, escalaron el taladro y tomaron el cuarto de control. Las oficinas de la compañia nacional de energía Landsvirkjun fueron invadidas y su presidente Fridrik Sophusson recibió visita de ls activistas en su hogar. Saving Iceland clavó un anuncio de desalojo en su puerta. Landsvirkjun quiere desalojar a los granjeros del valle del rio Thjorsa para construir un número de represas para producir energía para una fundidora de Rio Tinto Alcan. En el norte de Islandia, están haciendo perforaciones profundas para una fundidora de ALCOA afectando grandes extensiones de naturaleza. Fuera de Islandia hay protestas en embajadas y consulados de Islandia y las oficinas de Glencore, ALCOA y Impregilo en Suiza e Italia.

UK Climate Camp Besieges Power Station

As the UK Camp for Climate Action 2008 managed to breach the security fences at Kingsnorth Power Station, despite a huge police presence, activists across the world are setting up similar camps and convergences to build resistance to the ever demanding fossil fuel industry and more importantly, to tackle the root causes of climate change, through direct action.

The Climate Camp in the UK took place in Kent this year, near Kingsnorth power station. Its owners (German owned EON) want to expand the plant and this would mean the first new coal fired power station in the UK for over 30 years. A site was occupied about a mile from the power station and although the police illegally confiscated a lot of essential materials for the camp (and raided it twice) they didn't manage to stop up to 2,000 from taking direct action against the development. People from across Europe and beyond joined the camp and took part in blockades, bannerdrops and pickets across the South East region. During the main day of action on 9th August, activists managed to breach both security fences at the power plant in an effort of olympic proportions which saw the plant besieged by land, sea and air.

Two Youth Murdered As Israel Tries To Suppress Ni'ilin Uprising

For almost 4 months residents of Ni'ilin Village in the occupied West Bank, along with their Israeli and international supporters, have been trying to defend their lands through grassroots popular resistance, which includes almost daily demonstrations, attempts to block bulldozers and clashes. After losing much of its land in 1948 and due to the massive construction of settlements on its lands since 1967, Ni'ilin is now left with merely 7,000 dunams (1,700 acres). 2,500 dunams (about 620 acres) of these lands are expected to be left isolated and effectively confiscated behind Israel's illegal segregation wall according to the current trajectory.

The Israeli army has employed severe and brutal violence in its attempt to suppress the Ni'ilin uprising, that has so far caused hundreds of injuries and has included arrests, the imposing of siege and curfew as collective punishment, the the shooting of a cuffed and blindfolded detainee, and most recently the cold blooded murders of ten year old Ahmed Mousa and 17 year old Ahmed Amireh who was mortaly injured on the eve of Mousa's funeral, and succumbed to his wounds five days later.

The village of Ni'ilin remains undeterred, and after three days of grieving over Ahmed Mousa, struggle struggle has already resumed. Villagers vowed to continue the struggle against the theft of their lands and their livelihood.

fugitive rice makes narrow escape in auckland

There was chanting, speeches and an impressive US flag burning outside Government House where Rice was meeting with prime minister Helen Clark and foreign affairs minister Winston Peters. The speeches focused on Rice's support for the illegal and immoral war in Iraq, as well as the wider and more nonsensical 'War on Terror'; her sanctioning of torture and instrumental role in setting up Guantanamo Bay; and on what a bad idea a free trade agreement with the US would be. Then the crowd relocated to the Langham Hotel, where Rice met with leader of the parliamentary opposition, John Key.

Auckland University Students Association had to withdraw the bounty it placed on the head of Condoleezza Rice two days earlier, under threat of legal action. However, the students association at Victoria University in Wellington doubled the price, offering $10,000 for a successful citizen's arrest. Although several people turned up to the demo with handcuffs, the chance to nab Rice didn't present itself. Police refused to cooperate in the arrest of this war criminal, giving the irrelevant excuse that she is a visiting dignitary.

4th Anniversary to Hague Ruling: Repression and Resistance Intensify

Four years after the International Court of Justice published an advisory ruling against Israel's Apartheid Wall, without a change on the ground, the Palestinian popular resistance intensifies in actions, courtrooms, and prisons.

In Bilin, Ramallah area, Israeli settlers and army expand illegal settlement on Bilin's land, in contempt of a ruling by Israel's High Court from more than a year ago, leaving Bilin residents to commence legal proceedings against profiting Canadian companies. Like other areas, Bilin has also seen an upsurge in army violence during weekly demonstrations aimed at the fence, a month ago Ibrahim Burnat was shot by three live bullets in the thigh, and is still in hospital.

Nilin village, neighboring Bilin, has been holding nearly daily demonstrations for several weeks and this week faced a full on siege (video) by Israel's army. Curfew and closure were imposed Friday to Tuesday by Israeli soldiers in an attempt to stop protests against annexation of the village's lands under the illegal excuse of needing to wall off a settler-only apartheid road that runs through the village deep in the West Bank. On Monday (video) and Tuesday (video) demonstrators broke the siege, then continued with demonstrations marking 4 years to the Hague ICJ ruling Wednesday and Thursday (video). Demonstrations are also being held in several other villages and towns, including: Dier Al Ghson in Tulkarem, Azzoun Atmeh and Jayyus in Qalqiliya, Beit Hanina in Jerusalem, Beit Iba in Nablus, and Al-Masara, Umm Salamuna, and Al-Khader in Bethlehem.

Among those spending these days in prison for participation in resistance is a Palestinian organizer from Beit Omar, Mousa Abu Maria, in administrative detention since April 11th. Demonstrations will continue tomorrow as well.

J12: International call for solidarity actions against G8 repression

Free the arrestees! Protest against police state and capitalist summit! Take simultaneous actions on Saturday 12th July (en) (日本語)

Three of our friends were unjustly arrested at the demonstration against the G8 summit on 5th July 2008. One of the arrested (vid,ja) is an indymedia activist who is organizing sound actions and a member of the G8 Media Network. The police used overwhelming violence. For instance, they stopped the sound truck forcefully, three [1] [2] [3] policemen broke the truck window with their clubs, (vid,ja) and they viciously dragged out the driver. This situation was exposed as Japanese police brutality once again, reported by independent media.

While most of the Japanese media coverage focussed on the summit, a homeless activist in Osaka was quietly, unfairly arrested on the 4th. Allegedly, his mobile phone ownership and user had different names. Even though his group from Osaka had planned to come and join the poverty and labour unit of the counter G8 Action Network, they cannot because they must rescue him, just after the liberation of another activist who was also arrested for a tiny bureaucratic mistake last month. All of these bureaucratic errors are unreasonably trivial things. This is obviously suppression of dissent.

We denounce the repression at the 5th July sound demonstration and of the homeless activists (ja) by the police, and demand immediate release of all. On 12th July, simultaneous protest actions will be taken at 3pm (GMT+9) in Sapporo, Tokyo, Osaka, etc. against police capitalism. We appeal for international solidarity! Take action simultaneously! Protest against unjust arrests, police violence and the capitalist summit.

July5th Relief Association for Sapporo Sound Demonstration (ja) (j5solidarity (at) riseup.net), in solidarity with Indymedia Japan.

La Verdadera operación para "rescatar" a Ingrid Betancourt y los mercenariUS

Para entender la "operación de rescate" de Ingrid Betancourt y los mercenarios de Northrop Grumman Corporation quienes se encontraban retenidos junto a ella, es necesario colocar juntos artículos publicados en los medios, filtrar el contenido y fuera de esto se va formando la verdad que nos permita comprender los hechos que realmente pasaron.

1. El 3 de junio, la senadora colombiana Piedad Córdoba reveló que ella tenía la información de que el gobierno de Colombia estaba negociando un acuerdo con las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) para pagar por la liberación de Betancourt y los mercenarios. La política oficial de los Estados Unidos asegura que ellos "no negocian con terroristas", even as many leaders of Latin American countries accuse President Uribe of supporting the AUC paramilitary death squads and accuse the United States of providing safe harbor to known terrorists such as Orlando Bosch and Luis Posada Carriles.
   
   
2. Careful observers began to question the strange circumstances under which the "dramatic rescue" of Ingrid Betancourt happened. Some guys with Che Guevara t-shirts simply showed up and redirected them into another helicopter? If it were that easy, why didn't they do that years ago? The French media also found strange the fact that Betancourt didn't resemble the gaunt and hungry images we have been seeing in the media -- she seemed well-fed and healthy, as if she were being prepared for release.
