Call for Solidarity with Counter-G8 Protesters in Japan
Submitted by onion on Sun, 07/06/2008 - 16:15
This latest action comes after weeks of repressive activity on behalf of the police and government. Activists throughout Japan have been arrested at demonstrations and in their homes, often on "technical" charges, such as not registering a change of address. Overt surveillance of activists, academics and reporters has been taking place for months, and with some local activists for years. International conference participants and protesters have been interrogated for hours at the border and many have been denied entry into the country without warrant. The legal team sees this as a violation of people's right to freely exchange ideas.
"What we have witnessed in the streets of Sapporo is part of an ongoing and escalating campaign to suppress the movement for real democracy in Japan," said Marina Sitrin, professor and member of the National Lawyers Guild, a US based human rights organization that is a part of the No! G8 Legal Team.

Joaquin Cienfuegos, a community activist and organizer with Revolutionary Autonomous Communities, Copwatch Los Angeles and Anarchist People of Color, is under attack and needs your support. Joaquin recently spoke at LAVA on Copwatch LA.
Last week, Cienfuegos was stopped by police and charged with carrying a concealed weapon, a serious crime that carries prison time in California.
From a friend's eyewitness account:
At around 11pm we were driving down Lexington AVE, where we passed by the two pigs, who was looking at us as we drove by them. Before we got to the end of the block (Lexington and Cahuenga) they hit the
lights on us.

Last summer numerous inmates held at SCI Greene started hearing word that their letters were arriving opened and taped back shut. Normally prisoners mail is only checked coming in while outgoing mail will leave the prison unopened. When Saleem, a regular contributor to the defenestrator, filed a grievance last June demanding to know why his outgoing mail was being read, he was informed “You were placed on Mail Watch as a result of your own actions. Your continued radical beliefs and involvement with questionable written publications are an issue that is of concern to the security office.” Saleem not only writes for the defenestrator, but for several other publications including Pittsburgh’s New People, and has been active pulling together a number of collaborative writing and organizing efforts all focusing on social justice.
