police brutality and the dismantling of Esmad (ca) [machine
translation]

In the framework of the fight against police brutality and ginning ESMAD, this year we 
again took to the streets to denounce persecution, repression and stigmatization. ---- On 
February 24 we commemorate the day on which the anniversary of the death squad of the 
national police, known as ESMAD, which has been characterized as a unit may skip any 
humanitarian protocol, where there have been fulfilled use cases unconventional weapons, 
excessive use of force and systematic violation of human rights. ---- Moreover, military 
forces have acted in a strategy against fighting, also relying on the creation, promotion 
and support (by act or omission) of paramilitary forces, funded by the foreign employer 
and the national bourgeoisie, have contributed much to the annihilation of social 
activists, revolutionary organizations and in general, all opposing the model country that 
want to impose.

In that sense, for this occasion, we want to make more explicit the lawsuit against the 
paramilitaries, who hand with police brutality, have intensified repression against 
struggling in recent months as the Colombian oligarchy speaks openly of "peace ". This 
paramilitaries, who denied the physical existence recently our colleague Carlos Pedraza, 
who also follows orders sent on the Mobile Squad Anti-dignity, who have murdered us 
Nicolás Neira, Oscar Salas, Jhonny Silva and countless other dreamers and struggling for a 
new world, in addition to the thousands of wounded and persecuted by the repressive apparatus.

Needless to also remember the persecution of the anti-authoritarian in recent months, 
which among other things, resulted in the death of Augusto Tihuasusa, indigenous activist 
and defender of the territory, participant of historical processes libertarians, and from 
this perspective of autonomy and self-management contributed to the social struggles of 
the Sabana de Bogotá, being shot in the back last year in the streets of Facatativá.

So, we call out to march as libertarian tendency on the streets of Bogota this Feb. 24, 
meeting at 3 pm in the District Planetarium (north-eastern corner of Calle 26 and Carrera 
the 7th). For those who have the opportunity, also extend to you an invitation to march 
with us since the National Pedagogical University, home of the Calle 72 with Carrera 11, 
where we will meet from 1 pm in front of the block A. It must be remembered that it would 
be of great help carrying flags, posters, rags, whistles, drums and everything that helps 
make more eco to the demands we place.

Above those who fight!
Unidxs in the streets and fields: WIN!
