Cops cop Kop These days some people are saying that the new rock'n'roll
is... terrorism. Well the Dutch police thought so this week when they
arrested Marc - lead singer of the band 'Kop' and Barcelona squatter - in
an Amsterdam supermarket accusing him of ETA (Basque Militant Separatists)
collusion. Then just to show how 'rock'n'roll' cooperation between police
across Europe has become, the Dutch boot boys did their Spanish mates a
favour and violently raided and searched the Amsterdam squat where Marc was
staying. Marc is accused of having given a list of names of Cedade members
(a Spanish neo-nazi group) to ETA, he is now in an isolation cell waiting
to be extradited back to Spain to face trial. Following his arrest the
legalised squat 'Vrankrijk', described by the local scum rag the
'Telegraaf' as a 'hotbed for terror', was raided by 200 cops who prevented
people phoning lawyers. One woman needed stitches after being batoned.
Terrorist items seized were some water pistols, a couple of books in
Spanish and two mobile phones. The Spanish government is using the frenzy
against 'terror' to legitimize their ongoing campaign to terrorise anyone
that goes against their agenda. People fighting for autonomy of Basque
Country are lumped in with ETA - and labelled co-conspirators in their
terrorist acts. Squatters, anarchists and anti-globalisation protesters are
all feeling the force of 'terror' in Spain. * March against the
Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act. 12.30pm , 2nd February at Temple,
London. Called by the Federation of Kurdish Community Associations to
highlight the Kurdistan Workers Party becoming a proscribed (banned)
organisation. Tel 078790 24737 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[On the bright side 9 police have been killed in the last 2 days in Columbia.]
