Policiais atacaram os estudantes que protestavam ontem (06/03/2013) em Cuiabá. Tudo que os estudantes queriam era o direito de ter um teto sob o qual viver enquanto cursam a graduação.

We were fortunate enough to be in Berlin in '89 and I suppose fortunate enough not to be in Cairo tonight but it did remind us of the buzz (I don't know how else to describe it) of people with freedom in their grasp. This isn't a political view, it's just an appreciation of human spirit. Let's hope for a peaceful outcome.

Beit Ummar, july 2011
Manifestation pour protester contre les violences de l'armée. La semaine précédente, un lieutenant a braqué son fusil chargé et armé sur un homme du village lors d'une arrestation. La scène a été filmée grâce à une caméra fournie par l'organisation israélienne B'T Selem qui défend les droits de l'homme. Cette marche est soutenue par la présence des activistes israéliens de Taayush, très impliqués en faveur des droits des Palestiniens.
La manif se déroule calmement au départ. Les enfants ont du mal à garder leur calme face aux moqueries des soldats, et finalement la situation finira par dégénérer. Un des soldats saisira l'enfant à la caméra par la gorge, avant de le relâcher. Un autre piétinera un drapeau palestinien. Quand les jeunes commencent à lancer des pierres, le commandant s'écrire, face aux journalistes présents "regardez, voilà leur manifestation pacifique." Quelle ironie ! Accuser les jeunes de violence, alors que l'armée débarque fusil au poing, en tenue de combat, avec des armes de guerre, pour les empêcher de manifester. Où est la vraie violence ?
Il y aura 3 arrestations après cette manif. Les soldats, par rapport à d'autres fois, ont du rester "modérés" car ils étaient filmés en live par un de leurs collègues pour faire bonne figure devant l'opinion publique. Malgré tout, ils ont tiré des balles de caoutchouc, des gaz lacrymogènes et des des grenades de dispersion sur les jeunes qui lançaient des pierres, mais aussi sur ceux à proximité qui ne faisaient rien.
The only San Francisco arrest in a weekend of peaceful protests and rallies across the City happened out of nowhere, 10 feet from me. It took everyone by surprise, protesters and police alike, and was over as soon as it started.

On November the 17th 2015 more than 25.000 - 50.000 people (according to the police respectively the organisers) gathered in the center of Athens to rembember the Polytechnic uprising in 1973. The route was like the last years: From the Polytechneion, along the parliament to the US embassy in order to remember that the Greek military junta was tolerated and supported by the United States.
This year, acoording to newspaper reports, there were only minor clashes between protesters and the police, which happend in the nighttime.
7000 policemen were in action.
At the end of demonstration was a little SIRIZA block, which was verbaly attacked by bystanders. After the demonstration the communist party KKE had their own seperated demonstration.
Just some of the estimated 2,000 people who came to watch the Shawn Hannity show interview Rep. Devin Nunes and Paul Rodriguez in western Fresno County.

In 1976, DeGrazia engaged in a protest against the Federal Inheritance Tax. The artist claimed the U.S. Internal Revenue Service rulings made him "a millionaire on paper, but my heirs will have to pay taxes for which there is no money." In his well-publicized protest, DeGrazia rode horseback into the Superstition Mountains and burned about 100 of his paintings, an estimated worth of 1.5 million dollars at the time. The only way for DeGrazia to avoid this huge government taxation was for him to make his Gallery In the Sun a non-profit foundation. Happy Throwback Thursday!
On June 25, 2010 30,000 unhappy people converged on Allen Gardens to protest the G20 meetings being held here. We marched from there West on College St towards Queen's Park where we had expected to express our dissatisfaction with the injustices that the leaders of the G20 have consistently inflicted on the world's population and to demand that they abandon their elitist pursuit of a New World Order. Unfortunately the police had other ideas and herded us into a cul-de-sac where they corralled us and kept us prisoner for over 20 minutes before forcing us back to Allen Gardens. This was only the first of many illegal tactics that the police used in an attempt to instigate violence so that they could justify the 1.2 Billion Dollar cost of security that Canadian taxpayers had to shell out. fortunately, in spite of the many abuses of our constitutional right and the preventin of our continuation of our approve plans to march to Queen's Park and hold a rally there, the protest remained peaceful and on this first day of action, the police were thwarted in all attempts to instigate a riot.

Scenes from the June, 2009 protests held to support regime change in Iran. I only wish you could hear the support from the cars passing by.
There was a protest on this day; lots of students, lots of police. Not sure what was going on, but involved "Freie Demokratische Bildung". Any info would be appreciated.

The lead-up to Saturdays protests against the TPPA shows the commitment of people across the country to send a message that the government cant ignore, said ItsOurFuture spokesperson Edward Miller.Nationwide day of action against TPPA: “Ignore us at your peril” government warned
“The lead-up to Saturday’s protests against the TPPA shows the commitment of people across the country to send a message that the government can’t ignore”, said ItsOurFuture spokesperson Edward Miller.
A video shows young activists publicising Saturday’s nationwide protests with footage from Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin, Christchurch, and Nelson.
Action in the 22 centres starts at 10am in Raglan and many of the larger centre marches begin at 1pm, including Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
“People have been incredibly creative”, Miller said. “In Christchurch a giant plain-packaged cigarette packet will be marching in the crowd, while Auckland will be led by an enormous Trojan Horse, locked in a tug-of-war between major commercial interests and activist communities.”
“Around the country everyday kiwis will be photographed for a virtual campaign with signs saying ‘I am a ___________ and I say #TPPANoDeal.’ Already this campaign has been very popular.”
“Trade minister Tim Groser needs to recognise that people don’t buy the ‘trust me’ line. They want to be listened to when they say they don’t want the TPPA. And they deserve to be listened to.”
