GRENADA - SOUTHERN SPAIN Repression follows strike action.
Nine members of the Spanish CNT-AIT have been charged with
various offences after their participation in the general strike
of 27th January. Having avoided various suspended prison
sentences, called for by the government, three of them still were
kept in prison for 23 hours, after having been arrested during
the strike.
Accused of violent activities and violations of public order,
the anarcho-syndicalists included the editor of the publication
CNT, Jos Luis Garcia Rua and an English comrade whose expulsion
was narrowly avoided.
The regional federation of the CNT has organised a solidarity
campaign.
CALL FOR INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY EXTREMADURA
After a series of actions taken by peasant groups in
Extramadura there was a number of arrests. Most of these were at
a demonstration but one comrade was arrested at his home, two
days after the event... maybe because he was an anarchist?
The legal process is moving along, most of those arrested have
been freed, apart from two, one of which is our comrade, Jos
Paredes.
Now his lawyer is asking for money to continue working on his
case and his trial is imminent. We believe that those charged
will be sentenced for their opposition to the agricultural
policies of the local government.
This is why the collectives Paideia and Los Adelfas are
calling for solidarity from anarchists and anarcho-syndicalists
to help defray the costs of the legal expenses and so that our
comrade should not have to pay the personal cost of a prison
sentence.
