DESCRIPTION:On June 21st, tens of thousands of people flooded Thessaloniki  in an 
 attempt to disrupt the European Union's closed door negotiations.   The 
 growing international, anti-capitalist movement was 'fueled' by local, 
 radical Greek resistance to challenge the legitimacy of these 
 self-appointed global-masters. Large, well-organized direct actions were 
 responded to with chemical attacks by the police who used illegal CS and CN 
 gases.   Just over two dozen protesters were arrested many of whom were 
 beaten and tortured before being released.  Seven individuals still 
 languish in jail on felony charges.\nThe situation for each is dire.  
 \nPolice planted a  black backpack full of  explosives next to a London man 
 after his arrest.  Video taken of the day shows him wearing a blue 
 bag.\nAnother prisoner comes from the Basque region of Spain and has been 
 demonized by the Greek press as a wanted, international terrorist.\nAnd one 
 man, a political refugee from Syria, is facing possible deportation.  If he 
 is deported he will likely be executed by the Syrian government\nThey have 
 been brutalized in jail yet they remain in good spirits because of the 
 overwhelming display of solidarity both in Greece and throughout all of 
 Europe.  \nSolidarity actions within the United States are essential!   The 
 Greek state is relying on American apathy to carry out their persecution of 
 these anarchists.  However, our struggles are intertwined.   Whether 
 incarcerated or not, we are all fighting the class war together.  They 
 fought in the streets of Thessaloniki for us and we will continue to fight 
 for them on the outside.  Solidarity is the people's weapon!\n\nMeet:  
 Friday,  September 26th at 12:30p.m. at Allyne Park, on the corner of Gough 
 St. And Green St. in San Francisco.  Then march to the Greek Consulate for 
 a demonstration of international solidarity.\n\n
