Solidarity actions for anarchist prisoner Marco Camenisch
May 8, Zurich (Switzerland) - About 100 people, including a Black Bloc, participated in an unauthorized march in solidarity with anarchist prisoner Marco Camenisch, passing by the court in which Marco will appear on May 10. Riot police encircled the demonstration and rocks and bottles were tossed at them. Almost all the demonstrators were arrested and later released, but two are being held and charged with "assaulting a public official."
Marco, now 52-years-old has already spent 12 years in prison in Italy after being found guilty on charges of using explosives and causing bodily harm to a policeman. He is also accused of killing a prison officer in Zurich in 1981, a Swiss border guard in 1989, and blowing up electrical pylons in Switzerland and Italy in the 1980's. He was extradited to Switzerland in April 2002. He recently went on a hunger strike, lasting from April 1, 2004 to May 1, 2004, to resist the constant harrassment of prison guards and a their withholding of his mail.
May 7, Milan (Italy) - About 100 people gathered at the Swiss Consulate holding banners with solidarity messages for Marco Camenisch. The demonstration ended at a Benetton store, as part of an ongoing solidarity campaign with the indigenous Mapuche people of Chile.
May 6, Sergnano (Italy) - The data transmission booth of a tower belonging to the Snam Gas corporation was set on fire. A solidarity message for Marco Camenisch was left at the site. The Snam company manages the Italian gas pipeline network (utilizing advanced telecommunications technology).
May 6, Dijon (France) - On the night of May 5-6, solidarity graffiti for Marco Camenisch was left near the Swiss Consulate and Zürich Assurances agency.
May 1, Turin (Italy) - During a May Day march, solidarity graffiti and posters for Marco Camenisch graced the walls of the city. A building was squatted at the end of the demonstration and a banner reading "Freedom for Marco Camenisch" was dropped from a window.
