Dear friends,
yesterday a picketline against the local board in Fosie, Malmö, Sweden was attacked by the police. The picket had gathered about 70 people, both from Malmö and othe cities, since the conflict have been going on for some time. Organisers of the event was Malmös social and healthcare syndicate.
Police did use pepperspray, dogs and a quite extreme degree of voilence, to break the picketline to let the officials in.
9 peole were taken to the police station, accused for violent resistance, but they were all released after some hours.
In Sweden it´s illegal for the police to act in such a conflict.
This is a very severe attack on workers rigths, and has no equivalence in moderns swedish history.
SAC will of course act powerful against the event, and we would be grateful for acts of solidarity! If it´s possible for you to take actions at consulates, embassys and so on it would be great.
Messenges of solidarity can be sent to malmo.ls@sac.se.
For pictures, clips etc, you can go to www.malmo.sac.se.
I will return with more background and other adresses to send letters and faxes with protests to.
Pleas spread this message!
An injury to one, is an injury to all! |
