Between June 2008 and June 2009, a dozen of the detainees were
arrested and incarcerated - for the most part for almost a year - in
preventative detention. They were accused of damaging and destroying the buildings of the CRA [detention centre] of Vincennes, and/or violence against the police.

During the six months preceeding the fire, the CRA of Vincennes was
the site of incesssant protest movements by the imprisoned
sans-papiers. Hunger strikes, arson, refusal to be counted,
altercations with the police, and individual and collective actions
all occurred inside the centre throughout this period. Outside, demos
and actions took place denouncing the existence of these centres and
supporting the revolts.

In September/October 2010 people want to organize a No Border Camp in Brussels, hosting workshops, debates, (direct) actions and trainings.
On Saturday 5th December, there was a first meeting about the
organization. Next meeting is planned on the 11th January. They invite
everybody to join the organization.

Over 2,000 activists from ‘No Borders’ [1] marched today in Copenhagen from Israel Plads to the Danish Ministry of Defense to highlight the increasing links between militarization, climate change and displacement of peoples searching for safe and secure living conditions across the world, particularly in the Global South.

The debate over climate change and global warming management at the UN is a struggle among the national ruling establishments for their own interests on the international diplomatic stage. While there is concern that climate change can have unforeseen political and economic
consequences, these competing capitalist states have no means of seriously addressing the issue, other than making preparations for cracking down on social unrest.

During the past few weeks police violence against migrants and activists in
Greece is becoming more and more intense. After the election of the new
government, police has been given orders to intensify security checks all
over Athens while areas like Exarcheia and Nikaia have been blocked in order
to facilitate the "work" of the police. Arrests, body search and
imprisonment of activists and migrants without justification have become
commonplace.
