Italy, Val di Susa, (Turino):
Heavilly resistance in the Val di Susa Valley against the planned tunnel for the TAV-high-speed train. Fascist-Style Police raids (1000 robocops have attacked and beaten up 200 people, some while asleep, among them: children and old people...) 100s of injured people, some veryx seriously. This caused solidarity strikes at schools and at companies, and: on thursday 50.000 people managed to fight back against the police and to re-occupie the valley!
