Comrade Y_ arrested for attacking police in Kamagasaki riot
In the morning of 9 July 2008, comrade "Y", a militant of anarchist group, 'Free Workers Federation',was suddenly arrested by Osaka police at an office of Kamagasaki-Liberation building (Homeless Liberation organisation), accused of throwing slabs of concrete at police and stealing a police riot shield during an 8 day riot which was sparked when Japanese polizei brutally beat and tortured a day-worker.
The riots also coincided with an opening meeting of the G8. Comrade "Y" was previously arrested and served prison time for attacking police with a chain during the Utsubo park evictions of 30 Jan 2006, he is a determined veteran of the struggle that the police want to isolate. We say - "More riots worldwide against police and bosses - No more exploitation!" They are holding him and preventing anyone but his lawyer from having any contact with him.
On the same day that "Y" was arrested, 4 young people were also arrested by Osaka police as criminals of the Kamagasaki riots which took place from 13-21 June 2008. They were also residents of Utsubo park tent village evicted for the Rose convention of 30 Jan 2006. The FWF and ABC Osaka will continue to support these comrades and update about the situation. So far there are 14 people who are in still in jail for the riots, they all must be released.
- Bastards of Osaka gestapo, YOU FUCKING MUST RELEASE COMRADE_Y IMMEDIATELY!
- WE CAN'T FORGIVE ANY OF YOU for kidnapping the "criminals" of Kamagasaki riot to the polizei station!
- RELEASE ALL OF THE "CRIMINALS" OF KAMAGASAKI RIOT on 13-21 June 2008 right now!
If you are able to do some actions against Japanese corporations or consulates, embassies in your areas, ...Or, collect some donation for legal supporting for at least 14 persons in jail, it would be appreciated. And
also send encouraging msgs to the 14 persons including comrade_Y to:
