This weekend we're doing a special solidarity action against police brutality. It's been prompted by the treatment of comrades in Moscow, Russia. Come along to show solidarity and partake in delish food at the same time! We also will have a pinata to bash!!

A message from Russia:

Wrongful deeds of police do not surprise anyone in today's Russia. Disregard of law, violation of rights, illegal detention and searching are by now considered business as usual.

4th of April 7 peaceful young men were beaten up and illegally arrested by police in Moscow near Sokolniki subway station. These persons were not resisting arrest, as videos made by their friends and other eyewitnesses prove. The only thing they made to protest against the illegal arrests was merely forming a chain and demanding from police to abide laws.

Due to this "crime" (which unlike actions of the police, does not contradict any law), the cops started knocking the guys down, beating them with batons, kicking them, using electroschokers and handcuffs, as if people in front of them were not innocent youth but especially
dangerous criminals.

During the following hours, cops were brutally torturing the arrested guys, 3 minors included, in the Sokolniki police-station Arrested were

This Friday 11th of April in Slavyanskiy square of Moscow 7 PM there will be a big demonstration against police brutality, to support those tortured by police in Sokolniki police station and all victims of the police brutality in our city!

We ask you to support a week against police brutality from 11th to 20th of April! We ask you to make a picket of solidarity or other action for victims of the police brutality in Russia at the local Russian embassy or in any other place in your city!

Right now no-one is safe from police brutality in Russia. As the case in Sokolniky proved, whoever of us may become a victim of illegal acts from "defenders of the order".

We want, that all this was not merely ignored!

Want to talk about insurrection?
Want support for your ideas to smash the state?
Want to abolish capitalism but don't know how?
Want to stop reading questions?

A regular time for discussions, ideas and forming affinity.

If our aim is the transformation of existence, then the development of relations of affinity is not just a tactical manoeuvre, it is the attempt to develop relationships of freedom within the contexts of struggle. - Wolfi Landstreicher Against the Logic of Submission.
