(en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL - Demonstration
against the COP21: immediate release of all those arrested! (fr, it,
pt) [machine translation]
Thousands of people gathered today Republic Square in Paris to denounce the pretense of
COP21. The event, scheduled for months, had been banned by the government. It is also to
protest against this unjust prohibition that the crowd gathered. An impromptu meeting was
held on site, with organizations of libertarian pole. Alternative Libertaire has exhibited
his arguments deal with the ecological crisis and face the emergency situation. After two
hours there, the crowd embarked on a demonstration by starting to go around instead. Faced
with a challenging and urgent police presence, the militants of Alternative Libertaire
have sought to protect the crowd. ---- Suddenly, the riot police charged and flooded the
place with tear gas while preventing the demonstrators as bystanders to evacuate. Some
grenades tight shot hit the demonstrators. The police threw tear gas into the tube before
closing it, to establish a real trap. By late afternoon, hundreds of identity checks and
arrests were still ongoing. The government and its police evidently seek to silence any
challenge by muzzling the activists. Already last Sunday, police had forwarded the
identities of 58 people after a show of support to refugee-es, resulting in notices and
custody. Everywhere in France, house arrests and searches targeting militant
environmentalists es took place in recent days.
They destroy the planet, and now our freedoms. We will not let ourselves do. We call for
the immediate release of all those arrested and the organization of solidarity with the
victims of police brutality.
