Action against the Danish police and the power of attorney

Just like in Strasbourg in April 2009, mass arrests occurred during the climate
summit in Copenhagen as well as possible rejection of crossing the border to
Denmark in the future.
All this was allowed by a law that was especially passed for the climate summit.
To fight this way of dealing with uprising and the factual abolition of the
right of assembly, we need as many affected activists as possible to take
action.
Attached is a letter of authorization for the Danish Legal-Support-Team “RUSK”.
RUSK is a fusion of alternative left winged students that provide legal support
for the activists during and after the climate summit.

Statement from our friends who are still imprisoned in Denmark

Something is rotten (but not just) in Denmark. As a matter of fact, thousands of
people have been considered, without any evidence, a threath to the society.
Hundreds have been arrested and some are still under detention, waiting for
judgement or under investigation. Among them, us, the undersigned.
We want to tell the story from the peculiar viewpoint of those that still see
the sky from behind the bars.

A UN meeting of crucial importance has failed because of several contradictions
and tensions that have shown up during the COP15. The primary concern of the
powerfuls was the governance of the energy supply for neverending growth. This
was the case whether they were from the overdeveloped world, like the EU
countries or the US, or from the so-called developing countries, like China or
Brazil.

COP-enhagen.net: net-working to tackle repression, police brutality and civil
rights violations during - and beyond - COP15

The first thing you can do is to support the people who still imprisoned by
sending them emails, letters, drawings and packages. Emails can be sent to
info[at]blackcross.dk or retsgruppe69[at]yahoo.dk.

Letters, drawings and packages can be forwarded through:
Anarchist Black Cross (ABC)
Postbox 604

ABC goes to the prison with letters every day.

If you prefer to write directly to the prisoners, you can use the following
address:

AN INVITATION: FROM COPENHAGEN TO TORONTO

The Group of 8 Leaders and the Group of 20 Leaders are meeting in Ontario, from
the 25th to the 27th of June, 2010.

Following the collapse of the Copenhagen Climate Summit, they will be discussing
the global economy, development and climate change.

These gatherings are about trying to fix capitalism, a system that cannot be
fixed; about creating unsustainable market responses to ecological catastrophe
that reinforce systems of oppressions; about ensuring the continued
exploitation of people of color and the South and about celebrating war as a
means to create puppet allies to maintain imperialist power. The so-called
leaders at these gatherings do not represent us.

Burn the borders, Paris calling

ACQUIT ALL THE ACCUSED
FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT AND INSTALLATION
CLOSE THE DETENTION CENTRES
NO PAPERS AT ALL
ACTION WEEK JANUARY 16TH TO 24TH 2010

January 25th, 26th and 27th: trial of the revolt that set the detention centre
of Vincennes on fire. The revolt, which led to the fire that destroyed the
largest prison for foreigners in France, is a concrete and historical response
to the existence of detention centres and to the whole of the policy of control
of the migratory flows.

On January 25th, 26th and 27th, ten persons will be tried for this revolt by the
Tribunal de Grande Instance of Paris (a court which tries misdemeanours).
Our solidarity has to be at the height of the stake: the acquittal of the
accused and beyond
that, freedom of movement and installation.
