Solidarity to the demo from the tower.

Lotta dura senza paura! Hard struggle without fear!

The correspondents from the radio being arrested on false charges

Since the 30 of October 6 immigrants are occupying the top of a building crane asking for their right to be legalized into the country.
They applied with the bureaucracy of the case and payed the taxes for it which turned to be at the end false papers.
Today a group of immigrants and of anti-racist comrades gathered in support of the occupiers and got charged and beaten by full geared riot cops and silent police ( DIGOS ), also random citizens has been stopped on charges of not following police orders.
For now the number are about 30 people in the hands of the Italian police, 5 of which are anti-racist comrades from "Diritti per tutti" ( rights for everybody ) and correspondents from "Radio onda d'urto" ( blast wave radio, an antifascist radio from north Italy ), 2 have been confirmed as arrests on charges of "not following police orders" and "instigating people on not following police orders" and 2 girls have been confirmed to be in custody of police even that they have respiratory problems because of the beating of the police and their documents are sequestrated by police forced at the headquarter, 1 girl from Radio Onda d'urto have been released with bruises and and the signs of a dislocated shoulder.
Some of the immigrants arrested have been found without papers so for are being transfered to the deportation camps, not sure of the numbers that are refused to be told by police spoke person.
At this time fire fighters are trying to mount a metal nat under the crane to try to force the immigrants down by force.
The mayor and the police spoke person told the media that it is all a shame that has to be stopped as soon as possible "in the name of the face of the city" and that they will not soften the hard line they drew nor forgive the migrants or give them what they owned with years of hard work and with applying to all the crazy false bureaucracy papers that they paid with lots of money.
There are organized around italy various demos and soli-action for tonight, tomorrow and the coming days.
In Milan another group of immigrants is occupying the top of an industrial chimney.
In the meanwhile on the crane the migrants have started the hunger strike.
