Subject: Demonstration in England in solidarity with Amsterdam prisoners


Yesterday, Wednesday 18th June, a demonstration was held in London at
the Dutch embassey against the imprisonment of the 430 Eurotop
protestors. The demonstration was organised by participants in the
Amsterdam movement and others who could not attend. About 20 people
(from London & Brighton) demonstrated, with a banner saying "Free the
Euro Protestors, EU rot op!" and with a leaflet giving a report of the
Amsterdam events. (I hope to be able to mail a copy of the leaflet soon
and also put it up on the web site below.) The embassey was breifly
occupied, but was evicted by armed police (something of a compliment in
the UK). 

A criticism. Is it not the case that the AUT-OP-SY list is somewhat
fetishizing the struggle of the Italian comrades in particular, just as
the struggle of the Zapatistas and the Liverpool dockers has been also
fetishized? There was a lot of other positive stuff going on in
Amsterdam, a lot of practical internationalism (anti-nationalism), a lot
of direct links made which will continue to exist.
