Swiss consulate in Barcelona occupied!!!!!

Swiss consulate in Barcelona occupied!!!!!
Call for solidarity actions

This Friday morning we have occupied the Swiss consulate in Barcelona to protest against the repression that took place at the G8 and in particular against what happened to the English electrician Martin Shaw. Martin Shaw, currently hospitalised in Lausanne, is recuperating from grave injuries suffered as a consequence of the cutting of his climbing rope used for a blockading action against the G8 at the bridge of Aubonne. We intend to stay untill our demands are met by the Swiss government. We call for an international effort to put pressure on the Swiss government and we ask groups to take action, to picket and/or send the text below to the Swiss embassies.

We demand:
#The immediate withdrawal of all charges against the persons that participated in the Aubonne bridge action, as for all persons detained during the protests in opposition to the summit of the G8.
#A transparent, independent and public investigation into the training and orders received by the police who cut the rope, as well as into the general organisational and hierarchical infrastructure and the political responsibles of the security measures surrounding the G8 summit, .
#That the Swiss government offers full and complete compensation of all expenses incurred, including the medical and judicial costs, by all participants of the Aubonne bridge action, as a result of the brutal behavior of the Swiss police, especially given the recognition by the Swiss authorities of being the perpetrator of the aggression.
#The right for Martin Shaw to decide, in compliance with EU and Swiss law, wether to stay in hospital in Lausanne as long as deemed necessary for full recuperation or to be moved to Barcelona, his city of residence.

We denounce:
#The claim that the cutting of the rope was an “accident” or the result of “negligence” on the part of the police. Rather, it should be seen as a logical result of the creation of a climate of fear and the strategy of criminalisation of dissident voices gathered to oppose the G8 summit.
#The growing scale of repression not only at the G8 summit but globally and persistently.
#The ongoing criminalisation of antagonistic social movements worldwide.

To whom it may concern,

On Sunday 1st June, a UK national, Martin Shaw was severly injured and
hospitalised as a result of actions by the Swiss traffic police. The
protestor, part of a 15 person international collective blockading a bridge
in Switzerland to prevent G8 delegates passing from Geneva to Lausanne, was
participating in a banner drop-road blockade with the slogan “G8 Illegal”.
Martin and another protestor were hanging from both ends of the same rope
from a 30m high bridge over a small stony riverbed alongside the banner.

The two traffic police arriving at the scene panicked about the build up of
traffic and cut the rope that the two protestors were hanging from despite
repeated warnings about the danger of this from everyone present. Martin who
is a very experienced and careful climber, then fell 20m into a stony river
bed and was left there with spinal injuries, pelvic damage and a severely
broken ankle for a considerable amount of time before the emergency services
arrived with a ambulance helicopter to take him to the hospital.
Eye-witnesses report that the police were much more concerned with
immediately restoring the flow of traffic than they were with getting
medical attention to Martin, although two police officers (amongst the many
police and possible military present) did eventually help lift Martin out of
the river bed.

The other people present managed to rescue the second climber by holding on
to the other end of the rope for 15 minutes so that she also didn´t fall,
although she was later delivered to the hopsital suffering from shock.
Whilst Martin lay collapsed in the shallow river bed receiving medical
attention from an activist and demonstrators rescued the second climber,
police momentarily continued to direct traffic over the bridge as if nothing
had happened, although the traffic on this main autoroute from Geneva to
Lausanne was eventually stopped for the rest of the day. It is extremely
lucky that these two people are not dead as a result of the actions of the
Swiss police.

Martin currently remains in hospital in Geneva where he has undergone a
series of emergency operations on his vertebral injuries, pelvis and ankle.
The doctors have stated that his back will slowly recover, but at this stage
the doctors are unsure about the state of his left ankle.

I am writing to express my anger and wish to register my protest of this
terrible incident and of Martin Shaw´s near fatal treatment as a result of
the actions of the Swiss police.

I demand:
#The immediate withdrawal of all charges against the persons that participated in the Aubonne bridge action, as for all persons detained during the protests in opposition to the summit of the G8.
#A transparent, independent and public investigation into the training and orders received by the police who cut the rope, as well as into the general organisational and hierarchical infrastructure and the political responsibles of the security measures surrounding the G8 summit, .
#That the Swiss government offers full and complete compensation of all expenses incurred, including the medical and judicial costs, by all participants of the Aubonne bridge action, as a result of the brutal behavior of the Swiss police, especially given the recognition by the Swiss authorities of being the perpetrator of the aggression.
#The right for Martin Shaw to decide, in compliance with EU and Swiss law, wether to stay in hospital in Lausanne as long as deemed necessary for full recuperation or to be moved to Barcelona, his city of residence.

I denounce:
#The claim that the cutting of the rope was an “accident” or the result of “negligence” on the part of the police. Rather, it should be seen as a logical result of the creation of a climate of fear and the strategy of criminalisation of dissident voices gathered to oppose the G8 summit.
#The growing scale of repression not only at the G8 summit but globally and persistently.
#The ongoing criminalisation of antagonistic social movements worldwide.

In Berlijn hebben teruggekeerde activisten op die dag gedemonstreerd bij de Zwitserse ambassade waarop de ambassadeur verklaarde het politiegeweld tijdens de G8 top te verwerpen.

Ook in Manchester, is het zwitserse consulaat bezet geweest. In London was er een demonstratie bij de Zwitsere ambassade. De demonstratie in London werd ondersteund door de Britse Vereniging van Journalisten.

update situatie 
wil - 13.06.2003 19:09

Iets voor vier uur deze namiddag heeft de Spaanse oproerpolitie (antidisturbios) een brutale charge uitgevoerd tegen de jongeren die aan de deuren van het consulaat de actie aan het steunen waren. De reden voor de charge zou het "vuurtje stoken" zijn waarmee de actievoerders een paella wilden bereiden. Daarbij zijn verscheidene gewonden gevallen, maar de bezetting duurt voort. Twee activisten blijven vastgeketend aan de gevel van het gebouw en zo'n tien personen bevinden zich nog steeds in het consulaat. De meer dan 50 personen die vanop de straat spontaan hun solidariteit kwamen betogen, hebben zich niet laten intimideren door de charge en hun aantal groeit zelfs nog. De actievoerders willen van geen wijken weten tot de Zwitserse regering hen een antwoord geeft.

De eisen zijn:
1) onmiddellijke intrekking van alle aanklachten tegen de personen die deelnamen aan de actie bij de brug van Aubonne, en tegen de personen die aangehouden werden tijdens de manifestaties tegen de top.

2) een onafhankelijk onderzoek naar de politieke en politionele verantwoordelijkheden voor de acties waarbij Martin zwaar gewond raakte en voor alle repressie-acties tijdens de Evian-top.

3) dat de Zwitserse Staat alle medische en juridische kosten van de brutale actie van de Zwitserse politie op zich neemt, en vooral dat de agressie van de politie erkend wordt door de autoriteiten.
