WE, THE ANTI-IMPERIALIST FRONT, STRONGLY CONDEMN THE IRISH POLICE BRUTALITY TARGETING PROTESTERS OUTSIDE BELGIAN EMBASSY IN DUBLIN
On Friday 4th, as a part of global action day against NATO organised by the Anti-Imperialist Action Ireland dozens of Irish Republicans and other anti Imperialists held a blockade of the Belgian Embassy in Dublin.
The aim was to protest the unwanted presence of NATO in Ireland, highlight NATO’s central role in the ongoing British Occupation of Ireland and the US Military Occupation of Shannon Airport and to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian People and Resistance, demonstrating how the fight against NATO links the national liberation struggles in Ireland and Palestine.
Speaking after release, a member of Anti Imperialist Action Ireland said, “Today Republicans and Anti Imperialists made a defiant and dignified stand to resist the presence of NATO in Ireland and to highlight its role in the Occupation of our country and of Palestine.
That dignified protest was confronted by a violent attack by the Free State Police, which has resulted in serious injury, in order to intimidate and attempt to prevent future protests. Such tactics will never work against Republicans and we remain defiant.
The fact is that NATO has no right to be in Ireland. NATO is playing a key role in the British Occupation of Ireland, the US Military Occupation of Shannon and the Zionist Occupation and Genocide in Palestine. Republicans and the Irish People have every right to resist the presence of NATO in our country and AIA is committed to continuing to build the campaign and organise more and more direct actions against NATO in Ireland.”
Anti Imperialist Front stands with our comrades in Ireland.
United struggle will defeat imperialism, fascism and zionism will defeat
Long Live International Solidarity
We are the people We are right We will win!
