Clément Méric aged 18 from Brest, France – Beaten to death by neo-Nazis in Paris on 5 June 2013

Active with ‘Action Antifasciste Paris-Banlieue‘ and the student group ‘Solidarity”, Clement was attacked by a group of neo-Nazis in central Paris. He was rushed to hospital and later was pronounced ‘brain-dead’

Meric and three of his friends were attending a Fred Perry private sale in the central Rue de Caumartin when a group of four neo-Nazis, including a woman, arrived at the premises.

Eyewitnesses told Le Monde the four sported shaved heads and swastika tattoos; one wore a sweatshirt of British neo-Nazi group Blood and Honour.

Witnesses said that the skinheads started shouting at and shoving the group that included Méric. He was then punched by one of the neo-Nazis who was wearing knuckle dusters.

Méric was tended to by bystanders as he laid unconscious and bleeding on the concrete, before being rushed to the hospital “in a desperate state.”

Originally from the city of Brest in Brittany in northwestern France, Clement was studying in the Sciences Po. His fellow student union members issued a statement saying “the death of our comrade is set in a context of the progression of the fascist movement in France and in Europe.”

Left wing activists said the skinheads were part of the extreme right Revolutionary Nationalist Youth (JNR) group.

All our thoughts are with his family and loved ones whom we express our solidarity.

NYC Grand Jury Resister Gerald "Jerry" Koch Statement Regarding his Imprisonment

Reblogged from NYC Anarchist Black Cross:

At 4:18pm on Tuesday, May 21st, local anarchist Gerald "Jerry" Koch was remanded into custody for his continued refusal to cooperate with a federal grand jury. It is presumed this grand jury was convened to investigate the 2008 "bicycle bombing" of a times square military recruitment center. It's just as likely that the bombing is mere pretext for what the feds are really after-- finding out more about anarchists in NYC, their networks, organizing, and varying philosophies.

Atari Teenage Riot + 6000 Anti-Fascists in Berlin

 

On the night of April 30th to May 1st 2013 German authorities allowed Nazi groups to march through Berlin.

Over 6000 people joined Atari Teenage Riot, the Anti-Fascist Action, and various other anti-racism activists and artists who gathered for a free concert to block the Nazi march!

Since the economic crisis in Europe began, various Neo-Nazi organizations have tried to win new support. They are either denying the Holocaust or openly support the mass killings ordered by Adolph Hitler. It’s a shame that in our time the German taxpayer is financing Nazi marches that are protected by the police.

If you are reading this, help us educate and mobilize friends, family and people you know.

Too many racist attacks are happening everywhere – the threat is real.

We fight for a world in which Nazi ideology does NOT exist anymore. That world has existed for thousands of years and it will exist again!

We fight for that world with our minds.

The content of your mind is NOT inherited – your convictions, character and values are not determined before you are born. You, as an individual, control them.

Don’t let racists and Nazis tell you otherwise.

When we came together in Berlin on April 30th, we sent a message.

Let’s also think of those who fight from behind the computer screens in the virtual world: Anonymous Operation Blitzkrieg, all bloggers, activists and those who spread the message!
