video channel :: recorded

de foto's geven een goed beeld van hoe het eraan toeging, de actie was normaal gepland voor 13u, maar er was niet voldoende volk die door de politiecontroles geraakte, om 14u15 zijn de rellen begonnen, verschillende politie-agenten volledig gekleed in het zwart begonnen activisten te arresteren,
de delegatie van IV stond op het plein die je kan zien op de foto's, iedereen is in veiligheid voor het moment,
er is een enorme politie aanwezigheid, je kan bij wijze van spreken geen voet buiten de deur zetten of je wordt gecontroleerd
voor het moment zijn er opnieuw acties bezig o.a. tegen misbruik van genetische manipulatie, vanavond zijn er naar ons weten nog 4 betogingen:
* tegen politierepressie
* karnaval tegen imperialisme
* steun aan de Latijns Amerikaanse bevolking
* herdenking - fakkelwake voor moord op Carlo Giuliani

I think the pic above isn't exactly someone beatten up by the cops.

It's probably one of the persons who've done a symbolic action with a fake car crash and lot of "blood" (paint).

They put several cars upside down to campaign about "mysterious" car crashes of families af Basque's political prisonners.
