Workshop, information sharing hour in new seomra Spraoi space

On the fourth of Feburary this year Alex, Rodrigo and Juan were arrested and continue in jail in Barcelona.
They are victims of current wave of repression that has hit the Barcelona anarchist movement.
We are holding an information sharing and solidarity workshop about their case and other current cases
in Barcelona this Wednesday at 6 in the new Seomra Spraoi space on 6 lower ormond quay Dublin.

In the early morning hours of February 4th, a group of young people left the house of some friends after a night of celebration. Some were on their way to the metro, others were on their way to another party that was being held in the closeby street of Sant Pere Mes Baix. Once in Sant Pere, they saw a group of people having a discussion with the Guardia Urbana (one of the many police forces in this area) outside of the Anarko Penya, the squat where the other party was taking place. As the group approached this discussion, the police charged suddenly and without warning, beating people severely. The young people tried to leave the area, but could not escape the police blows. In the midst of this, all kinds of objects were being thrown from the balconies of the Anarko Penya. When the initial chaos of the situation had passed, seven people had been arrested and a policeman was in a coma. Two more people were arrested later in hospital, where they had gone to seek treatment due to bicycle accidents. They had not been in Sant Pere Mes Baix at all that night, they were simply arrested due to their "squatter-like" appearence (or so perceived by the police) and the fact that they had injuries. All of the nine who were arrested were tortured by two different police forces : the Guardia Urbana and the Mossos d'Esquadra. They were beaten and tortured at the moment of their arrest and continuously in the police station, hospitals and police vans. They suffered multiple injuries all over their bodies, blows to the head, black eyes, and two have broken arms.
