IMAGE imgs/nyhetsbrev16u3501.gif environmental groups concerned of European Union's course of
development to a new neo-liberal militaristic superstate. Most extreme
action of police was shooting of a "Reclaim the city" carnival in the
evening of Friday 15th of June. Three persons were wounded, one
critically and it is still unknown will he survive or not.

However this was only a peak of the violence during the week, which
has led Swedish human rights and other concerned organizations to
raise 20 complaints against violent behavior of the police. Series of
police provocations started 14th of June when Swedish police
surrounded Hvitfeldtska secondary housing peaceful protesters school
with containers, armed with police horses, dogs and a helicopter.
Police attacked people with horses and dogs, at least one demonstrator
was bitten to face by a police dog. During actions of the weekend,
police continuously escalated violence by attacking demonstrators with
dogs and horses unprovoked. Some non-uniformed police provocateurs
destroyed private property in order to discredit demonstrators. In
Saturday 16th of June a group of masked police armed with
submachineguns invaded another school in which people were staying,
claiming to search "arms and terrorists" which they never found. Some
demonstrators did involved themselves in fighting with police, but
vast majority of the demonstrators were calm even when police behavior
was endangering their lives.

25000 persons from all around the West and East-Europe came to
Gothenburg to demonstrate against imperialistic and unequal policies
of the European union. One target of the demonstrations was American
president George Bush JR visiting Gothenburg, which has lately
scrapped both Kyoto protocol against global warming and anti-ballistic
missile treaty of 1972, declaring both a new cold war and a war
against global environment. Officials of the European Union are ready
to go to the very extreme in order to create a new global superpower.
Sweden, mostly known as an example of social peace, has adopted brutal
strategies seen only in South after fall of the iron curtain.

We, friends of Artem Chlenov call us to react to attack against of
human rights in the European Union. We call to organize actions
demanding freedom to Artem Chlenov and all other 40 persons arrested
in Gothenburg in 1st of July all around CIS, in front of the Swedish
consulates, and Swedish companies, such as IKEA. In Moscow, we will
organize action 12.00 in Swedish embassy, Mosfilmovskaya street 60.
Please also write to Swedish embassy, and demand freedom to Artem and
stopping violence against protests of the people.
