#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty [VIDEO AND PHOTO ESSAY] The trial Saber Mraihi: The Trial of the Revolution? http://atunisiangirl.blogspot.com/2013/05/le-proces-de-saber-mraihi-le-proces-de.html TRANSLATED FROM FRENCH BY GOOGLE CHROME TRANSLATOR On May 24, 2013 Saber Mraihi, a young Tunisian accused of murder and setting fire to a car during the events of violence and known incidents of the revolution riots, appeared before the court of first Instance of Tunis following a complaint by a police officer. Deemed fabricated and shameful case of Saber Mraihi sparked outrage and rebellion of many young Tunisians who came out just like Saber defend and keep their neighborhoods during the first days after the departure of Ben Ali in Indeed, a policeman who complained against Saber Mraihi says he recognized a video one year after the events. A support committee was formed around the case of Saber Mraihi. On the occasion of the trial, his supporters held a protest rally in front of the court and the police tried to ban. During the hearing, the defense committee has requested a postponement of the trial and the release of Saber Mraihi. After deliberations the judge decided to postpone the trial until June 25, 2013 and keep Saber detention. This decision has sharpened the anger of many Tunisians believe that the trial Saber is also the process of revolution and attempted his assassination, as the allegations against him were held in special circumstances those of revolution and the violence that ensued. To the surprise of everyone, Saturday, May 25, 2013 at 2 o'clock in the morning the family members of Saber Mraihi learned the release of their son. While Saber, whose sole charge was the participation in the events of the revolution, was released, but other young people still languishing in the cells of Tunisian prisons for participating in the revolution and defending their city and their neighborhoods during the wave of violence that followed the departure of Ben Ali.

We reproduce below the statement sent to the media: 15 M 2013 is not just an anniversary is also a time of intense fighting, with actions in different places since Friday 10 May, after warming up with actions decentralized bank branches proposed to Toque Campaign Bankia tomorrow. Two years ago, on May 15, 2011, the people rose up and took the streets to fight a political and economic system that is pouring disaster against budget austerity measures that ignore the inhumane and unjust insecurity of the majority of the population that have led to a social emergency. However, our politicians and financial authorities do not want to understand the message, do not listen to any proposal and taking advantage of the crisis to continue to plunder the common wealth and profit themselves. On May 12, we went back to the streets in a peaceful demonstration and protest because we are fed up with their lies, manipulations and corruption, we do not want goods remain in the hands of politicians and bankers and why we have initiated a process of social change construction of alternatives to its model to become a constituent power that will lead to a new paradigm where social and environmental justice prevail. To this end, we put on the table six points that were proposed last year measures for minimum change, because we are still at the same point and our claims are still valid: First. Not one euro to rescue banks. We audit the debt from the public to create an economy closer to people and point out the real culprits of the crisis. We must not, do not pay! Instead of rescuing financial institutions, build and support a truly ethical bank that responds to social criteria and not in search of profit. Two. Education, health services and public financing and management, universal quality. No to cuts in public spending, no to privatization of public services, not to the privatization of water and unsustainable exploitation of natural resources. No repayment. Three. Fair distribution of work and wealth distribution to build a new sustainable production model without poverty or insecurity, a model based on the common good. No to retirement at 67 years and immediate withdrawal of the last labor reforms. Recognition invisible and unpaid labor (reproductive work, home, care, dependent …). Four. Guaranteed right to access to housing, mortgage abusive repeal legislation. Halt evictions. Retroactive payment in kind. Conversion of the stock of real estate financial institutions public housing for social rent, amounting to no more than 30% of monthly income. Measures against abuse of speculation: promoting housing cooperatives and expropriation of vacant homes. 5. Universal basic income for all. Dignified life and the right to existence. Tax reform that allows fairly distribute wealth. Effective fight against tax evasion and tax havens. Our lives are not commodities! 6. Democracy, transparency, return of political power to the people through a constitutional process. Human rights and civil liberties: freedom of assembly, demonstration, strike, Equality and association … right to their own bodies. Right to food and food sovereignty. But none of these goals can not get them without breaking the system, the present institutional framework. Just raising popular power from below and the low will be possible to establish a new framework for relations between all. And we say: We do not represent, let them out! Furthermore, although some say that social mobilization and civil disobedience do not get results in these two years we have achieved many milestones, unthinkable until recently and, slowly, we are creating alternatives to unbridled capitalism and neoliberal logic. Because with social mobilization and yes disobedience results are obtained. Among the successes' most recent social movements as a result of the explosion 15M there both related to housing, such as the health, education and the debt crisis. And also important social changes such as the decision of firefighters from various regions of refusing to participate in evictions, and more than a hundred doctors from hospitals in Madrid have resigned en masse in protest over healthcare privatization orchestrated by Ignacio Gonzalez. In Catalonia include the task of moving platforms Rear, Stop rubber bullets and Eye eye with you, along with thousands of people on social networks have managed to raise awareness on the need to ban rubber bullets and deslitimització the social body mossos that caused the fall of the Interior Minister Felip Puig. The police repression of protests is a two-edged tool and to date, one in three riot longer wants it. In health research work and claims of some journalists and media committed such Latte have achieved the resignation of the president of the ICS, Josep Prat, imputation or the High Court of Xavier Crespo numerous irregularities evident in the report of the audit.http://www.twitpic.com/cp99jz
