FROM G20 TO G8 AND APEC -- GLOBAL SOLIDARITY

Thousands of protesters are taking to the streets against the meeting of the
G8 big powers in Germany over the coming week.

The Anti-APEC Network is calling a solidarity action in Melbourne. This will
be a chance to highlight the coming protest against APEC, George Bush and
John Howard in Sydney in September. Visit http://www.stopbush2007.org for more details.

It will also be a chance to show that activists have not been intimidated by
the police and media crackdown on protesters following the G20 protests in
Melbourne last year.

Meet at 5.30pm at the old GPO, corner of Bourke and Elizabeth streets on
Friday, June 8, for a tour of corporate Melbourne.

The Anti-APEC Network is supported by Unity for Peace, the Latin American
Solidarity Network, the Ongoing G20 Arrestees Solidarity Network, Fair Go
for Palestine, Moreland Peace Group and the International Socialist
Organistion.

Organising meetings this Tuesday June 5, 6.30 at the community centre at 10 Church Street, North Fitzroy.

It is hard to look through the media prism and be sure of what was actually said to the press, but one thing looks to be certain: ATTAC in Germany is headed by a rat named Werner Ratz. --- While it seems clear that much of the violence yesterday in Rostock was provoked by police tactics, such as splitting the demonstrators into separate groups, thus creating a riot zone. Ratz's group not only distanced themselves from the violence (which each has the right to do), but blamed anarchists for starting it. What's worse, it seems that Ratz may be behind the crappy tendency now seem in the German press to blame foreign anarchists for all the violence. --- "...in any case, the behavior of many anarchists, in the way they continually chased the police, was atypical for German groups." Ratz said during a talk in which the idea that foreigners were responsible for the trouble looks to have spread around.

Now it seems that foreign people were disproportionately kept to be charged after arrests were made yesterday.
