Media, Swiss News :Over 1, 000 global anarchists to meet in St-Imier Switzerland

Switzerland, a country known for order, will be host to an unlikely crowd of global
anarchists for a gathering in early August. ---- Between 1,000 and 3,000 anarchists are
expected to descend on the northwest municipality of St-Imier, normally home to 4,800
people, for the International Anarchism Gathering from August 8 to 12. ---- "We wanted to
meet up with anarchists of all persuasions and from different countries," said Michel
Nemitz of the St-Imier anarchist and libertarian cooperative Espace Noir, quoted by the
Swiss ATS news agency. ---- Participants will take part in talks, debates, shows and
generally keep the anarchy flame alive. ---- The meeting comes 140 years after the
umbrella group Anarchist International was formed in St-Imier following clashes between
anarchist and Marxist members of the International Workingmen's Association at the Hague
Congress.
