An action was led in the Var by the peasant Confederation to denounce the financialization 
of agricultural land and their capture by multinationals, here and elsewhere. ---- 
Tuesday, June 5, seventy peasant women and farmers from south-eastern France occupied the 
vineyards of Bolloré at La Croix-Valmer in the Var. The goal recalled by Laurent Pinatel, 
the union's national spokesperson, was to denounce land grabbing here and elsewhere. The 
Provence region is particularly affected by the phenomenon. The price per hectare of vines 
has more than tripled, from 20,000 to 70,000 euros in a few years. Many areas are in the 
hands of wealthy investors. The Bolloré group acquired in 2001 more than one hundred 
hectares of vines. ---- In its press release, the Confédération paysanne recalls its 
priorities: "  The land must go first and foremost to those who work and who need it to 
live. Land should be used to install more peasants and peasants, not to enlarge those who 
do not need it.  " As in Africa, "  we denounce the financialisation of agriculture: 
people outside the agricultural world are making money in the land of peasants excluding " 
deplores Pinatel Lawrence, spokesman for the Confederation Paysanne.

At December 31, 2015, Socfin, 38.7  % owned by Bolloré, announced more than 400,000 
hectares of concessions. Socapalm, a subsidiary of the company Socfin, leases to the State 
of Cameroon 58,063 hectares of agricultural land for 7.69 euros per hectare per year, when 
the annual rent of Cameroonian farmers varies between 61 and 154 euros per hectare. A 
documentary by journalist Tristan Waleckx described the living conditions of the workers 
in Socapalm plantations, housed in unsanitary conditions, working on the job and without 
protective clothing. On June 5, 2018 the Nanterre Criminal Court acquitted the journalist, 
who was charged with defamation by Bolloré.

Cameroonian peasants, neighbors of the Bolloré plantations, are deprived of land and see 
their living conditions deteriorate. An International Alliance of Shoreline Residents 
Bolloré-Socfin was created in 2013. On April 23, 2015 began the occupation of a plantation 
Socapalm, a subsidiary of Socfin, to protest against the grabbing of their land by the 
holding company. Bolloré.

Since 2005, the peasant confederation has been denouncing the mystification of agrofuels, 
which impoverishes the peasantry, starves populations and destroys the planet. But it is 
with some surprise that we learned that on June 10 and 11, 2018, the FNSEA decided to 
carry out a blocking of refineries in France, allegedly to protest against the importation 
of palm oil.

As recalls the Confédération paysanne in its press release of June 11, 2018, this action 
in front of the refineries was tailored to " defend the interests of the Avril group " 
itself importer of 200 000 tons of palm oil and who maintains close links with the FNSEA. 
Arnaud Rousseau, president of the Avril group, is also vice-president of the FDSEA in 
Seine-et-Marne.

Against industrial wind in Aveyron
On June 13, Nicolas Hulot signed the public declaration of interest for the transformer 
needed for the thousand-wind turbine project in Saint-Victor, opening the way for 
evictions on the site occupied by Amassada. The deviation of renewable energies embodied 
in this project and the lack of consultation with local populations who are undergoing a 
project of electricity export unrelated to their needs, are the basis of the challenge. 
The Confederation paysanne has just publicly supported this struggle.

The capitalist "  solutions  " to the energy crisis - which today revolve around the 
electric all - are built against the interests of the people and continue to destroy 
farmland. While RTE (Electricity Transmission Network) has announced the start of work for 
this autumn, the occupation collective calls on all components of territorial development 
to meet and imagine a new framework for common struggle.

On August 3, 2018, both trade union organizations operating at Amazon Fulfillment Poland 
sp. Zoo addressed a letter to the president of operations of Amazon, Steven Harman, 
regarding working conditions at Polish branches of Amazon. NSZZ Solidarnosc and OZZ 
Inicjatywa Pracownicza are requesting to organize a meeting with the participation of 
Steven Harman and representatives of two trade unions. ---- Wroclaw 03/08/2018 ---- 
Company's Trade Union ---- NSZZ Solidarnosc ---- Amazon Fulfillment Poland Sp. z o. o ---- 
Intercompany Commission ---- OZZ Employee Initiative ---- at Amazon Fulfillment Poland Sp. 
z o. o ---- To: ---- President of Operations for Amazon ---- Steven Harman ---- Dear 
President, ---- Based on the press materials that have recently appeared in the Polish 
press, you can say that you have committed to discuss the working conditions prevailing in 
Amazon Poland magazines. You also stated that the company you represent has nothing to 
hide in this matter. Based on our observations and information gathered from current and 
former employees, we come to the conclusion that the current situation in Polish logistic 
centers is tragic. Polish employees are treated objectively, and performance standards 
have been set at a level that threatens their health and life. We have the impression that 
in less than 4 years warehouses in Poland are treated as second-class workplaces, and 
Polish employees do not work in safe and dignified conditions.

We would like to inform you that pursuant to art. 4 of the On May 23, 1991, on trade 
unions (Journal of Laws No. 55, item 234, as amended) trade unions in Poland represent 
employees and defend their dignity, rights and interests. We can no longer stand passively 
and look at actions that are focused on ruthless exploitation combined with apparent 
preventive actions that only pursue statistical purposes. In the light of recent events, 
we have jointly established a plan for our further actions that we intend to implement. We 
want to inform you that our goal is to improve the working conditions, which can only be 
realized if there is a real willingness to cooperate. At present, we do not see such a 
will on the part of Amazon Poland. Previous talks with persons representing the Amazon 
Management Board in Poland are unproductive and in our opinion their only task is to fake 
a dialogue. The confirmation of our words are court judgments in Labor Courts and experts' 
expert opinions.

In connection with the above, we are asking you to hold a meeting in which the Lord and 
representatives of two trade unions representing employees of Amazon Poland will take 
part. We will look forward to your reply within 14 days from the date of delivery of this 
letter.

/ Signed /

11 criminal antifascists from Penza and St. Petersburg pass through the criminal case on 
the terrorist network "Net". Many have already become accustomed to news of  torture by 
the current of the accused, violence and  threats . To this, probably, the figurants and 
their relatives will never get used to. Relatives of antifascists united in the committee 
"Parent network". They are trying to do something that can help their relatives. ---- The 
FSB asserts that the "Network" is an international organization. In addition to Penza and 
St. Petersburg, the conspiratorial cells were allegedly created in Moscow and the Republic 
of Belarus. But neither in the capital, nor abroad arrested on this case yet. At the same 
time, the "Parent network" can be called international - except for Penza, Petersburg, 
Moscow and Novosibirsk, the committee has a representative office in Petropavlovsk in 
Kazakhstan, where the mother of Viktor Filinkov lives.

Members of the parent committee have already participated in two press conferences - in 
April and in  May . They created a chat in a telegraph office where they discuss current 
news and exchange opinions, share impressions from the courts and the actions of the 
investigation, and simply support each other. In addition, parents seek the reaction of 
the supervisory authorities and the human rights defenders close to the authorities for 
allegations of torture - they write statements to the Office of the Human Rights Ombudsman 
and the Human Rights Council under the President, complaints to the Investigative 
Committee and the Bar. OVD-Info talked with members of the "Parent Network".

Tatyana Chernova, mother of Andrey Chernov, saleswoman
In March, it all began. It was the penultimate extension of the arrest, the trial in 
Penza. I went to see Ilya (Shakursky - ATS-Info ). I knew that there will be human rights 
activists and journalists. I just went to the people who had gathered for the meeting and 
asked for help. There was Lev Aleksandrovich Ponomarev (leader of the movement "For Human 
Rights" - OVD-Info ). He responded and offered to meet in Moscow.

I did not know any of the human rights activists, I did not know where to go or whom to 
turn to, because I never touched it. And when they discussed it with her daughter, she 
always pulled me out: "Mom, wait, maybe we will do harm, maybe we will do worse on the 
contrary".

We came to Lev Aleksandrovich with my husband and said that we simply do not know what to 
do. We had a lawyer. But the lawyer did his job, and we - the parents - sat and did not 
know how to help. We were told: "Take the pen and write it down. The first thing to do is 
to unite with all parents. " After that, I started looking for the phones. Gradually, I 
phoned everyone.

Before Lena Shakurskaya could not get through. I wrote her a text: I am such a mother, I 
want to communicate, if you want, write. She immediately called me back. Probably everyone 
expected this. It was necessary. We have a common misfortune, and all this has brought us 
closer. The first time we met with Lev Alexandrovich. Lena arrived. She only heard the 
whole truth here. Grigoryan (formerly a lawyer of Ilya Shakursky - ATS-Info ) told her 
quite another. She was met by the Pchelintsevs (relatives of the accused Dmitry 
Pchelintsev - OVD-Info ), began to communicate with her, to tell. Lena was even sick from 
what she had learned.

We try to stay together. It happens, so rolls on, it becomes hard. Yes, there are friends. 
But I can call with this, for example, Sveta (Pchelintseva - OVD-Info ) or Lene (Bogatova 
-  OVD-Info ), I know that they will understand me. Because we are close.

Elena Bogatova, mother of Ilya Shakursky, saleswoman
We had a lawyer Grigoryan. He spoke, warned me that I did not in any way communicate with 
the relatives of other children. He said: "We protect everyone. Nothing good will come 
from this communication. " I listened to him. In March, I saw Andrei's mother Chernova. 
And at Grigorian's insistence, I did not even go up to her, did not talk to her. Then I 
began to have doubts. I wanted to talk to someone. Probably, God sees us - just in those 
days Chernova wrote me a sms. We phoned. And I went to Moscow without telling a lawyer. We 
met with human rights activists, began to discuss everything, talk about children.

One in this situation is very difficult. But now we are together. You realize that you are 
not alone and that our boys are not alone there. Basically, it's all for them. And to 
court we wore these T-shirts so that they could see that we were fighting. We went 
together to all the courts so that they could see that we were all together.

At first I was an "adequate mother". I was friends with the investigator. We talked, the 
investigator spoke unflatteringly about other parents. Grigoryan invited me to see Ilya 
for "necessary" conversations. The investigator talked to me: "If you are a normal mother, 
you must inform him. If, as you say, you have a good relationship ... "Then they let me 
see him for ten minutes.

In February, when Ilyusha signed that they did not use torture, I saw him. We, together 
with my uncle, persuaded him to sign. Well, of course, we did not understand anything. 
Grigoryan said: "We must have him sign everything. I work for you. It is necessary that 
Ilyusha not kochevryazhilsya and signed everything that I give him. " He goggles at me, 
says: "Mom, what are you doing?" I'm not guilty of anything. " And I told him: "Well, 
sign, or it will be worse for you. And it will be worse for me - I will not see you. " 
Selfish. I sank into my grief. For the sake of pity for her son on what pushed. And they 
used me. On, see - just let him sign. On, hold his hand.

Now it's psychologically easier for me. I feel the strength, the confidence to go forward, 
to save the guys from these paws. I have no friends as such. First they called and found 
out. But then less and less. I do not know, maybe they are afraid of the FSB? Afraid to 
call me again, because they know that my phone is tapped. But I felt how much Ilya friends 
had. I communicate with the "Parent network" and with my friends. Who are not afraid of 
anything. We talk on the phone. They and our granny come help. The vegetable garden will 
be poured into the store, as the Timurites are straight. I look at them and cry for joy.

Natalia, mother of Viktor Filinkova, entrepreneur
It was like snow on my head. I was the wife of Victor, Alexandra. I was ready to go this 
minute, but they kept me, advised me that I had better not appear in Russia yet. I live in 
Petropavlovsk - this is northern Kazakhstan, quite near to Omsk. To the border with Russia 
60 kilometers.

Then I could no longer, said: "Well, everything, I'm going, come what may." And she went 
to Petersburg. Everyone was surprised that I was given a date. I was the first one I was 
given. But there was so little time ... It was so hard, through the glass ... He said: 
"Mom, they tortured me." I saw his scar. He told me to hold on. To reasonably react to 
what is happening.

I've never been interested in politics. But now I'm interested in - both Russian and 
Kazakh, and I read all the news all the time. Where are any accidents, who is tortured, 
who is being told whom, who is being covered. I read everything about what is happening 
somewhere, connected with anti-fascists and anarchists.

I think: "Why do not I live in Russia? Why do not I live in St. Petersburg? "Now I can not 
get over: documents, to register to get up, temporary residence - it's difficult. The most 
painful place is mine - God forbid, they will close the entrance.

Nikolay Boyarshinov, father of Julian Boyarshinov, artist
This is a terrible state that everyone experienced when you suddenly find out that your 
son was arrested, and such ridiculous accusations. And it is not clear at all what can be 
done - a wall in which you can fight your head. And very quickly you begin to understand 
that you are completely powerless.

I got into the "Network" when there were already quite a few participants. I was 
completely crushed then. It seemed to me at first that it was for the sake of driving, 
just not to go insane. But then I began to notice that it gives some results. And then 
completely departed from his original state. And I began to do something, think, discuss. 
The participation of the "Network" saved me.

This is a chat in the telegraph. In contrast to the "Network", which was invented by the 
FSB. We do not hide: we have the "Network". If you think that our children have organized 
some criminal "Network", then here we also have a criminal, probably, "Network". Our 
actions give, maybe, a small result, but so, drop by drop, a desire is being made to do 
something to improve the conditions of the children's maintenance. Publicity has saved 
them. There is still no question of liberation, we are thinking about that they just stay 
alive.

That's how it happened with my son. I saw him at the first extension, a month after his 
arrest. I saw what he came. Gray, beaten. Fresh bruises on the head. It was clear that 
this could not last long. And his friends came to the next meeting. There were about 
thirty people. And when he saw everyone - he was happy. After that, a new stage began. It 
became clear that he would at least be left alive.

For me it was a turning point. When publicity began, it just saved my son. And now I'm 
afraid that it will weaken. And the guys will again be in isolation. This nightmare will 
begin again. Therefore, I never refuse an interview.

I go out every Friday to picket. There were doubts, especially when there was a 
championship. On the first day there was a feeling that I was just stopping people from 
rejoicing. But I decided to go further. Every time something unexpected happens. Here came 
the guy. He says: "I do not know anything about the" Network ". Then he walked away, 
looked, apparently on the Internet, came back. I told him about the other guys. He says: 
"I do not really share these views ..." I answer him: "It does not matter now whether 
you're left or right. It is important that you have some views and this is the reason to 
arrest you, in some way to blame. "

"Parent network" is already like a family. We agreed that when this lawlessness is over, 
we will certainly meet all together. All became native. In Viktor (Filinkova - OVD-Info ), 
my mother lives in Kazakhstan, and my wife generally had to flee, so I take the transfer 
to Yulik - and I transfer to Viktor. I really want to meet them. For all I experience. 
Wife sometimes read the article, and her tears flow. About Dima (Pchelintseva - OVD-Info ) 
or about Victor. Already as we treat our children.

Elena Strigina, Arman Sagynbaev's mother, chief accountant
The first gathered those who were in Penza - Pchelintsev, Chernov. I joined the process. 
Lawyers on the subscription of non-disclosure, but we had to bring out all our problems. 
I'm in Novosibirsk, we support communication with the rest through one banned messenger. 
Were on the ships in Penza - made T-shirts with the inscription "Freedom". >From the 
outside it may look like a game, but we need to stay afloat. It is important to do 
something. And to cover everything that is happening.

Arman is very ill with a severe chronic illness. It's not necessary to torture him. His 
first testimony is ten years old. He talked to himself, not so much on others as on 
himself. He was taken from St. Petersburg to Penza. In the forest, the doors were opened 
and pulled out. Bury promised. The night was taken, and in the morning they took me to the 
interrogation of the investigator. Under this press, anyone will say anything. I will say 
that Kazan took and destroyed the chapel.

I kept this story a secret for friends and relatives. But after NTV's movie, everyone 
started ringing, making round eyes. Even before Arman's younger brother's school news 
came. Imagine - a brother terrorist. It is good that by now the publications have appeared 
fair. I gave references. Thanks to these publications, people read other information, and 
we are shielded from the negative of the society.

Svetlana Pchelintseva, mother of Dmitry Pchelintsev, cardiologist
This has multiplied our strength hundreds of times. Uniting, we fight not for everyone, 
but for all the guys. We absolutely like strangers and unfamiliar people - 
children-figurants - like our own. For each soul hurts. I think it's wonderful. A whole 
team of practically relatives is fighting for every guy. And what can parents stop? 
Nothing. In general, it's terrible - what happens. We do not want to, but we must somehow 
live with it. And more to help children. Therefore, when one mom has a minute of weakness, 
she can call another - and that one has the opposite emotions, and when a person hears 
support, it's important.

Dmitry Pchelintsev, father of Dmitry Pchelintsev, engineer
We are a parent committee. We are committed to supporting one another. Here we live in 
Moscow. The son sits in Penza. Parents who are in Penza, go to our children ... Children, 
it happened, we already have everything in common. We were in Penza and passed it all to 
all the children at the same time. If we talk with the head of the SIZO, we talk 
immediately for all the children.

All this helped both us and our children. We - the moral support. When you're sitting 
alone in a closed room and do not know what's going on with your baby, that's one thing. 
And when all the parents have gathered, you are discussing everything, and from the small 
facts a general picture develops, and more or less it becomes clear what is going on - 
it's different. In my opinion, publicity is very useful. This is confirmed by the actions 
of the investigator Tokarev - if Tokarev from this uncomfortable, if Tokarev because of 
this is angry. As he said: "In vain you raised all this, long ago would have already sat 
down." Accordingly, if it is bad for him, then it's good for me. I went to the 
Investigation Committee in Penza. They did not believe that it was possible. What the FSB 
is torturing people in jail.

Lena, Mama Ilya (Shakursky - OVD-Info ), said that Tokarev always brought us and the 
parents of Chernov as an example of "inadequate." I lamented what our children would get 
now for two years and that's it. This is generally possible to talk? Plant a person for 
nothing, and then sit and clap their hands. The FSB is the same Cerberus of Putin. Putin 
dismissed them a little, the leash weakened - they grabbed everyone before the election, 
before the World Cup. Now everything will be over - he will say again: "To the leg!" Let's 
see what it will lead to. And maybe they'll close it. Unfortunately.
