hört der widerstand natürlich nicht auf. gestern gab es zum beispiel eine „jail solidarity ralley“. wer sich weiter informieren möchte kann das bei „torontomobilize“ oder bei mediacoop.. so wie das den mails zu entnehmen ist, gab es mehrere razzien in linken projekten und viele andere unanehmlichkeiten:
„many residences were raided (the raids had started on thursday
night), the alternative media centre and the convergence space
(headquarter of the toronto mobilization network) were also raided
and many organizers arrested. several small, peaceful actions and
solidarity rallies – both what was planned ahead and spontaneous jail solidarity marches – were surrounded by massive numbers of police in riot gear who attacked with rubber bullets and tear gas without any provocation. the arrests were systematic and followed scripted
profiles. the bus stations were surveilled and people arrested as they were leaving town. many of the key organizers – including poeple who organized daycare and medics – are now in detention (or in hiding). charges range from „breaching peace“ to „conspiracy“. the
level of absurdity was so high that last night at a downtown corner several hunderd riot police surrounded a group of about 150 poeple, many of them on their way to dinner or shopping and caught there by accident, kept them in pouring rain for several hours, in full view
of live tv cameras. at the time of this writing, the number of people arrested is estimated to be around 900. the conditions at the detention centre are deplorable. some poeple have been transferred to higher security jails.“
