DEM VOLKE DIENEN

We reproduced the note from the Brazilian Center for Solidarity with Peoples (Cebraspo) on the acquittal of two activists who were unjustly prosecuted after protesting against the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.

Comrades in France made a demonstration for the 150th anniversary of the Paris Commune and a video that we want to draw attention to. Link

It should still be well remembered that last year the French government wanted to push through the new "Global Security Law".

We would like to draw attention to a video of the French comrades showing a demonstration in Saint-Ètienne on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the Paris Commune.

Greenland:

On the 6th of April elections will be held for the legislative body of the Greenlandic administration.

This coincides with a the big case of whether or not to allow for rare earth mineral mining in Greenland, which is a point of contention among the political parties in the Greenlandic administration. The project is promised by the mine company to bring in 1,5 billion DKK every year, which is the first time the Greenlandic administration will take use of the Law on the Self-Governing of Greenland, which allows for the Greenlandic administration to keep profits from earth resources, but the Danish State would at the same time lower its contributions to Greenland.

In the village of Pertek Avéker in Dersim, Partizan sympathisers beat and punished a rapist of a 63-year-old disabled woman, what also forced the local gendarmerie to "do something" and arrested the rapist. Immediately after Turkey's withdrawal from the Istanbul Convention, the fight against violence against women plays a priority role - not only for the people, but also the state is now forced to appear as if it is "still" interested in solving this problem.

On 18.03. the 150th anniversary of the Paris Commune, a rally in solidarity with Pablo Hasél took place in Berlin.

In May 2018, there was a raid on the state's initial reception facility ("refugee home") in Ellwangen near Stuttgart. Now one of the victims is suing the police for their actions.

Three days after a failed deportation, the cops entered the refugee home at night without announcing themselves as such and without a search warrant. This deportation failed because the residents of the home correctly resisted the terror of the German state at the time. During the subsequent raid, the plaintiff, a 31-year-old from Cameroon, was forcibly taken to the floor in his room and tied up. In addition, he was deprived of his cell phone, which he had used to document the raid. He was then deported to Italy.
The truth is of no use to the German state. The officials claim that such an attack is "common" and "necessary for self-protection". The fact that the man's cell phone was taken from him was denied by the two witnesses, both police officers, organized in the same state-affiliated armed gang as the defendants and, of course, complicit in trespassing into the home, which is officially considered a dwelling. I wonder if they could be impartial?

Now court hearings have occurred, accompanied by a "Black lives matter" protest, in which the plaintiff has also participated. Currently, the outcome of the trial is still unclear, but as usual, it is expected that the perpetrators will get off scot-free.
