(en) Demonstrations took place overnight across the Spanish state against the series of police raids targeting the anarchist movement.

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.
