Brazil: all in the name of the divine Sport, repression (fr, it, pt)
[machine translation]
There are a few weeks Vicente, militant control block for the public transport of Porto
Alegre, was sentenced to a year and a half in prison; State accused of "damage to public
property" and "environmental crime" to have co-organized an event which was held in April
2013, opposite the town hall in Porto Alegre. For lack of evidence for these imaginary
offenses, "justice" brandished books, posters, leaflets, to justify the conviction of
Vicente, which is only one among some 50,000 people demonstrating in Porto Alegre in 2013.
---- This sentence is part of a policy to criminalize those who resist the established
order, the order which itself actually attack the common property and the environment, to
conquer injustice, that keep growing profits steals a minority enjoying the work of the
vast majority of the population.
Social and apartheid repression
Vicente is not an isolated case; Porto Alegre same six other comrades continued in similar
conditions throughout Brazil, demonstrators and protesters continued in "justice" and
condemned the strikers were dismissed ... We can not pretend to ignore the power is
attacking especially young black ...
Since the beginning of 2015 in several cities there were very significant social
mobilization, particularly against further increases in transport fares. Each time, the
answer is in the form of police loads, tear gas, rubber bullets, arrests. Punishment does
not silence the Brazilian people.
We, members of the French collective solidarity organizations with social movements in
Brazil "Enough is enough" give our full support to fellow victims of repression and
denounce their conviction Vicente.
