Danish Squatters Defend the Youth House

2006-12-17T18:05:00.000Z

COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - More than 300 demonstrators were arrested in the Danish capital on Saturday after violent clashes between police and youths who were protesting against the planned closure of a youth center in the city.

Several hundred demonstrators threw cobblestones, bottles and fireworks at police and erected blazing barricades made from Christmas trees, trash cans and bicycles, police said.

"It was extremely violent. It looked like a war zone and it's been many years since we last had to use tear gas on the streets," police spokesman Flemming Steen Munch told reporters.

Police responded with tear gas attacks and split the main crowd of demonstrators into several smaller ones using armored cars. Groups of demonstrators walked toward the city center smashing shop windows, leaving a trail of destruction.

The conflict over the youth center has been brewing since 2000 when local government sold the building that houses the center. Left-wing activist have been using the center as a base since 1982.

The current owners have a court order to have the squatters evicted but the youths have sworn to protect the house and have repeatedly called for a political solution.

Danish media reported that at least four police officers and several demonstrators were injured in the clashes.

Pakistan, transport workers riot

Burning car of the day

Islamabad (dpa) - One person was killed when a strike by transport workers, mainly belonging to the ethnic Pushtoon community, turned violent Friday in Pakistan's port city of Karachi.

Violence flared in the city of more than 12 million people after the striking transport workers torched a police checkpoint and four vehicles in the Sohrab Goth area where all the bus bays and truck terminals are centred.

Law enforcement agencies used teargas to disperse the protesters when they burnt tires and stoned vehicles in a bid to block the main highway linking the capital of Pakistan's southern Sindh province with other parts of the country.

The Pakhtoon Action Committee (PAC), representing ethnic groups in the tribal regions of Pakistan, has given the strike call, seeking equal rights for the "oppressed community".

The committee had been demanding compensation for transport vehicles burnt in 1995 riots in the industrial hub of the country.

Sindh Home Adviser Wasim Akhtar confirmed that a man was killed after the protesters opened fire during the demonstrations. He told journalists that the violent transporters also ransacked shops.

However, Akhtar suspected some "political motives" behind the Friday's unrest in Karachi, saying the provincial government was working on the committee's demands and had also paid two million rupees (33,000 US dollars) to the PAC as compensation for the gutted vehicles.

Claiming the strike was peaceful, PAC chairman Shahi Saeed alleged that authorities in plain clothes resorted to rioting to cause a setback in their struggle. He also condemned the arrest of more than 50 protesters.

Saeed said the Pushtoon people, who had moved to urban areas in search of better livelihoods, were facing discrimination. According to him, children from the Pushtoon community are denied educational facilities.

He also criticised the condition of providing documented proof of their citizenship for getting registered in the country's new electronic database.

A large number of Pushtoon refugees from neighbouring Afghanistan have been living in Pakistan without any official documents validating their stay.

Meanwhile, two universities called off their examinations scheduled for Friday in the wake of the violence. // © 2006 DPA

Police Unleash Repression Against Oaxaca Teachers

By James Daria and Dul Santamaría
The Ricardo Flores Magòn Brigade Reporting for Narco News from Oaxaca

OAXACA CITY, June 14: The expected but unwanted eviction of the members and supporters of the Oaxaca Democratic Teachers’ Union, Section 22 of the National Union of Education Workers (SNTE in its Spanish initials) occupying the Oaxaca City central square occurred on Wednesday, June 14. The operation began at 4:00 in the morning, with approximately 2500 state judicial police entering the teachers’ camp, using violence and teargas, among other weapons, to attack the protesters. This operation, according to Oaxaca Attorney General Lizbeth Caña, was carried out with warrants to raid the union hall and the Teachers’ Hotel, and with arrest warrants against leaders of the SNTE section 22, including Secretary General Enrique Rueda Pacheco, who appears to remain free at the moment. In order to execute the raid, they ejected not only the teachers and the organizations supporting them, but also children and elderly people. In their wake, the police left a path of destruction resembling a war zone. Read the rest of the article here.
