The Barcelona demonstration of 2000 people was led by a banner proclaiming "If you touch
one; you touch all" ---- Demands include "Freedom for those arrested for struggling" "Down
with prison walls" and "Social war against the state of capital" ---- Media reports say
that the raids took place in 15 locations in Barcelona, Sabadell, Manresa and Madrid and
that 11 have been arrested. The usual excuse is given, 'terrorism' but the same reports
reveal that all that the raids have discovered are "computers, mobile phones and notebooks
found during searches" ---- One commentator said that "Starting early morning a
400-riot-cop task force has been raiding various houses and anarchist social centers
confiscating mobile phones, computers, and other electronic devices; and arresting people.
Centers 'Kasa de la Muntanya', the 'Ateneu Llibertari Sant Andreu' and the 'Ateneu Poble
Sec' were raided. The mainstream media and the government are talking about "anarchist
terrorism", as if we haven't heard that before. We all know who the terrorists are.
Protests are planned over the coming days, and already started this morning by activists
blockading various points in the city."
At least 3 further arrests were made of demonstrators last night in Madrid.
