Petition to Austrian Foreign Minister PlassnikLet Haj Ali visit AustriaHaj Ali (Ali Shalal Abbas) is the man with the hood and the electrodes on his hand, the man from the US prison at Abu Ghraib in Iraq, whose images shocked the world. Since his release, his aim has been to end torture by the occupiers, and the first step in that direction is to spread information about the actual situation.A visa application, supported by an invitation of an Austrian media company, was rejected by the Austrian authorities, without stating any reasons. A rejection by the Italian government had preceded this decision, but Italy—in contrast to Austria—had attacked Iraq together with the US and is now part of the occupation regime.While denying entry to a torture victim, the Austrian … [read more]

Athes, Greece, April 2006It is common understanding among workers and most progressive political forces that we are under an unprecedented attack by capital; an attack which targets not only the working class but all people; an attack whose extent, intensity, and duration we cannot estimate precisely, but the sure thing is that it is still at its beginning. The objectives of this attack is the complete deconstruction of the working class "as a class in itself" and the abolition of any right the workers have gained during the last century with struggle and sacrifice.This attack is accompanied by policing of tremendous proportions and penalization of any trade union or political activity. Our very existence is kept on file and our personal and social life is transformed into microchip data, … [read more]
