14.6. in front of swedish embassy in centre of Zagreb about 15 people gathered to express their solidarity with activists sentenced after last year's protests in Gothenburg. We handeled protest letter to ambassador, in which we pointed out unjust and unjustifiable actions of swedish police and courts, abuses of power during the protests and manipulations during the trials. Seems that ambassador was familiar with all details since he answered to our and journalist's questions, denied that there was any violation of right to expression and protest, eg. about manipulation with video evidence - "it was not manipulation, it was compilation!" (ha ha), or why the policeman that shot three protesters isn't brougt to trial... Anyway he has to report to his government about our protest, and that was the goal - to show them that the whole world is watching!
20.6. is International day of solidarity with refugees. Ten activists on the main city square constructed a wall from the bricks with written names of people who died trying to immigrate into EU. On the top it was written "Fortress Europe - more than 3000 victims" and there was big banner "solidarity and freedom". The wall was similar with one that families of missing persons from the war built in front of UN headquarter in Zagreb, so we wanted to show that immigrants are human beings that suffer similar injustice like people from this region suffered just few years ago. About 400 leaflets was distributed. Police didn't react to any of these actions and there was a short report in newspapers.
