-------------------------------------------------- ALERT - ALERT - ALERT ************************************************** **** AFTER THE ANTI CAPITALIST DEMONSTRATIONS OF THE LAST 26th of SEPTEMBER IN PRAHA, THE CZECH POLICE IS LOOKING FOR ITS REVENGE ************************************************** **** The czech section of the IWA (International Workers Association, anarcosyndicalist international) informed by phone the IWA secretary of a large police operation against some of their militants. Monday, the 23th of october, in three different towns, very far from each others, special units of the political police has surrounded and arrested three of the main dedicated militants of the anarco syndicalist czech movement. The fact our friends has been picked up by commandos, in a perfectly coordinated and planned operation, has to be linked with the actual violent press campaign against anarchists in Czech republic. Main medias of the country accuse the libertarian militants to be well organized and to benefit of their membership of an international organization. For journalists, it explains they were at the beginning of the violent fightings which has opposed demonstrators of the 26th of september to anti riot police. Papers publish photos of the rioters, calling people to denounce them to police. If the Czech section of IWA is not named, it is clearly the real target of those attacks. The day before the arrestations, computers of the organization has been totally destroyed by an hacker attack. Czech IWA section has to face to an intensive repression campaign from the Czech state, for its radical struggle against fascism and capitalism. The sentence of the Zlinn Ten Trial hasn't been yet given. One of them has escaped the territory, because he was under another sentence for fighting with a nazi and he wants to escape jail. During the last part of the trial, the Zlin Ten advocate managed to demolish the false testimony of one of the nazi skinhead. So, situation remains still uncertain. Finally, the three arrested people has been released after 48 hours of questionning by policemen. But it is clear that the Czech state - and its police - would seek for their revenge, by any means necessary. They didn't accept the succes of the anticapitalist demonstration of the last 26th of september Our Czech friends ask us to be vigilant about the future evolving of the events there, and to keep ready to act if it would become necessary.
