SOLIDARITY WITH SPANISH
|
|
ANTI-MILITARISTS
|
|
|
|
For over five years the INSUMISION campaign has been fighting to end compulsory
|
|
military service in Spain. At least ten thousand people have refused to serve in
|
|
the army or do the social service ( the supposed alternative if you refuse to go in
|
|
the army a bit like a nightmare version of community service ) which is used by the
|
|
state to replace public service jobs. Hundreds of them have been taken to court and
|
|
sentenced to between one year and twenty-eight months in jail. These young people
|
|
are called INSUMISOS. At this moment there are 200 prisoners for this cause and 75
|
|
people are in hiding. The government and especially the justice minister face a
|
|
situation they don't know how to deal with. Now is the time for an international
|
|
campaign in support of the Insumisos and against the Spanish state which is forcing
|
|
its youth into the army. Anti-militarists in Spain are asking for solidarity
|
|
actions at spanish embassies and consulates such as demos graffiti or petitions
|
|
demanding an amnesty for the insumisos in prison or on the run an end to trials of
|
|
anti-militarists and the permanent ending of compulsory military and social
|
|
service. Anyone fancy organising a demo here ?
