Immigrants who had been imprisoned accepted the mania of MATs that had invaded even inside 
the containers by beating indiscriminately those who were in front of them and finally 
capturing 35 people in the pile, with the sole criterion of skin color after targeting 
African immigrants. Many immigrants are beaten, and among them there are wounded by 
straight tear drops, with one migrant carrying a chest injury and one on the leg. All the 
arrested were taken to the General Police Directorate of Lesvos where they were detained 
and, according to their complaints, continued to accept cops. While most were injured, 
only one of them was taken to the hospital of Mytilene where it was deemed necessary to be 
hospitalized. ---- For the events on 18/7 at the Detaining Center of Moria, Lesbos

 From Monday 17-07 it was announced by a portion of migrants, mainly of African descent, 
that they would start repeated protests due to the long delays in the examination of their 
asylum applications, but also for the Circumstances in which they are forced to live in 
the detention center of Moria. On Monday, the protests took the form of a sedentary 
protest by blocking the offices of the European asylum agency (EASO). On Tuesday, and 
while the protest had reopened as EASO's office again, leading its employees to leave 
their offices, the authorities indicated the protesting immigrants to the others as 
responsible for The delays by turning them against them. The recriminations between them 
led to the peak of the tension and the protesting immigrants advanced outside the 
detention center blocking the road. In their protest, they once again accepted the 
violence of the police forces who tried to remove them by chasing them inside the center 
and making use of tears and glitter grenades. For their part, the immigrants responded to 
the attack they received with a petroleum war, leading the police forces to their initial 
deployment, but also to some damage to parked vehicles around the center. At the same 
time, there were fires for the construction of roadblocks, some of which escaped to the 
nearby olive trees. Police forces were stepped up with more MATs and intervened 
internally, while at the same time two Petzetel firefighting planes discharged water at 
the points where the fires appeared.

After the collisions ended, the police forces blocked entry to the detention center and 
carried out a "broom" operation inside. Immigrants who had been trapped accepted the mania 
of MAT that had invaded even inside the container by beating indiscriminately those who 
found them in front of them and finally capturing 35 people in the pile, with only the 
skin color, after targeting African immigrants. Many immigrants are beaten, while among 
them there are wounded by straight tear drops, With an immigrant carrying a trauma to the 
chest and another to the leg. All the arrested were taken to the General Police 
Directorate of Lesvos where they were detained and, according to their complaints, 
continued to accept cops. While most were injured, only one of them was taken to the 
hospital of Mytilene where it was deemed necessary to be hospitalized.

At noon on July 19, 34 of them, except the hospitalized, were led to the investigator with 
the threat of being charged with serious accusations. Most of them were barefoot, with the 
marks of the cops' knocks visible. Throughout their stay in the court, there were constant 
pressures from the cops who accompanied them, accused each other, with promises of 
acquittal, Even lifting the restrictive conditions of stay on the island. All immigrants 
denied the accusations, but also to point out anyone as a culprit. Their defense has been 
taken over by lawyers from the Legal Center Lesvos, but because of the number of 
prosecuted and magistrates, it is necessary to support them from more than one lawyer. 
Unique class witnesses who appeared were cops from the units that attacked them. The 
accusations made are carbohydrates for all and concern: a) resistance; b) attitude; c) 
disruption of the common peace of citizens; d) arson; e) attempted heavy bodily harm 
against co-operation against police officers; and f) The preliminary investigation will 
take place on Friday and Saturday, 21 and 22 July, respectively.

Four years after the death of Clément Méric, a young militant of the anti-fascist action 
Paris-Banlieue and Solidaires étudiants, who was beaten to death in the street by 
right-wing activists, an afternoon of debates and a demonstration Organized in Paris on 3 
June.  ---- From the mobilization of June 2013 which wanted to be all that the country 
counts of associations, trade unions and parties, there remained in recent years only a 
square of irreducible. The habitues of indignation, both media and transient, had long 
since gone. Neither sectarianism nor postures had helped and after the fiasco of the 
demonstration of June 2016 on the occasion of the three years of Clement's death, the very 
existence of a broad homage to our comrade was threatened.

A combative event

However, on the morning of Saturday, June 3, 2017, dozens of people were busy on the Place 
de la Republique to set up barnas, connect speakers on generators, unload bottles of water 
or dispose of chairs. Quickly, an immense banner "   4 years after the death of Clément 
Meric, fight against all racism and the extreme right   " adorns the main entrance of the 
central station of the metro. And little by little, the place begins to fill. Activists 
gather to listen to the debates that are taking place, passers-by stops to listen, even to 
discuss. We hurry to the press tables and the program of the afternoon circulates from 
hand to hand. One could, among other things,  Listen to Laurence De Cock talk about the 
myth of the national narrative; The comrades of the CNDF and Solidaires denounced the 
supposed feminism of Marine Le Pen  ; Violaine Girard decipher the electoral dynamics of 
the FN in rural areas  ; Or follow a round table around the necessary trade union response 
to the extreme right.
After this afternoon of debates, exchanges and discussions, a demonstration was held that 
could have been expected to be more numerous and less humid. But in spite of the pouring 
rain, several hundred people marched in an offensive and dynamic atmosphere that preserved 
the character of dignity of the event which is at the same time eminently political but 
also a tribute.
At the end of the day, Organizers and organizers were tired but satisfied and satisfied 
with this rich and beautiful day which gave to the antifascism an open and combative face 
without falling into the caricatures and the dead ends of last year. While in many cities 
in France and abroad, rallies and demonstrations have been held (and until July for 
Nîmes), it is now possible to envisage the continuation of the mobilization against 
forgetting and impunity, The anniversary of the 5th anniversary in June 2018, but above 
all the trial of the assizes, the date of which is not yet known, which should be held the 
same year.

Several hundred people marched through the streets of Derry this afternoon to demand the 
immediate release of Derry political prisoner Tony Taylor, interned without trail by the 
British State for 500 days. In marking this occasion of his 500 day of incarceration 
Anarchists in Derry joined with the relatives, friends of Tony Taylor including other a 
number of republican organisations, socialists, trade union and human rights activists, 
the largest seen in the city for a number of years. ---- At the Guildhall Square as the 
marchers rallied each speaker to the platform call for the continued support for the 
Taylor family and the end to selective internment without trial of political activists. 
---- Leading up to todays rally a spokesperson for the Free Tony Taylor campaign said 
"Tony was arrested on March 10th, 2016, in full view of his family whilst on a shopping 
trip and taken to Maghaberry Prison where he continues to be held today on the signature 
of the British Secretary of State following the revocation of the release licence he 
received in 2014.

"The Northern Ireland Office alleged Tony was a risk to the public based on an MI5 
assessment, an assessment which clearly does not warrant criminal charges or a trial. 
Three weeks after Tony was returned to prison it was ruled that the original order to 
detain him was in contravention of article 28 (2) (a) and (b) of the Criminal Justice 
Order (NI) 2008.
"Tony's solicitor Aiden Carlin stated that the refusal of the Parole commission to follow 
recommendations and release Tony at this juncture was in contravention of section six of 
the Human Rights Act in conjunction with articles 5 (1) and 5 (4) of the European 
Convention on Human Rights. Tony's legal team have recently served a High Court Writ on 
the Secretary of State in a claim for damages arising from his initial 3-week unlawful 
detention.

"On May 2nd, 2017, the Parole Commission for Northern Ireland began a four-day review 
process into Tony's case which at that point represented an unreasonable delay in context 
of Article 5 and the Right to Liberty.
"The review process consisted of one open hearing during which Tony was questioned, two 
closed proceedings from which Tony and his legal team were excluded and a summary hearing 
which took place on May 30th. A judicial review to examine the lawfulness, necessity and 
proportionality of Tony's recall is currently being pursued.
"Tony Taylor's recall is regarded as internment under its latest guise. Internment was 
used in the 1970s as a repressive tool of the Stormont regime and whilst the name has 
changed the fundamental fact that people are being denied their liberty in the absence of 
due process cannot be disputed.
"The Good Friday Agreement of 1998 promised the people of the north a ‘new beginning', an 
‘era in which justice would be done and be seen to be done' and measures ‘compatible with 
a normal and Peaceful society.' The Free Tony Taylor Campaign would take this opportunity 
to stress that closed court proceedings, MI5 supremacy over policing in the North and 
internment have no place in any normal or peaceful society.
"We would again call on the British Secretary of State for Northern Ireland James 
Brokenshire to release Tony Taylor back to his family who continue suffer as a result of 
his arbitrary and unjust detention."
This afternoons march and rally was also used to highlight the current situation across 
the six countries in which activists can be selected by the state and removed from their 
loved ones and community simply because they hold an opposing political opinions to what 
the establishment would like us to have.

Amongst the many banners and placards from the various groups and organisations in support 
of the release of Tony Taylor, Anarchists in Derry carried a banner in solidarity which 
read ‘Stop Repression Free All Political Prisoners!'.
One local anarchist activist said "No matter what the political views of Tony Taylor are, 
as anarchists we will continue to support him and his family's ongoing fight for justice, 
which is why we continue to support and attend demonstrations such as todays. Its vital 
that we add our voice to demand his immediate release. We feel that this fight, above all 
else, is a human rights issue that everyone, anarchist, socialist or republican should be 
concerned about.

"We are totally opposed to prison system in all its forms and reject the disappearance and 
imprisonment of any political activists. For us we will continue take part in unified 
solidarity demonstrations such as todays as in the streets is where we will achieve our 
goals, not in the chambers of Stormont or Westminster. It's important that anyone 
interested in human rights speaks out, no matter what political opinion they hold, to 
speak out against Tony Taylor's imprisonment and demand an end to similar practices 
carried out by the State."
