Italy: two immigrants shot in Naples in Nazi terrorist spate

Two African immigrants, one from Senegal and the other from Nigeria, were shot by car-riding snippers in Naples. The attackers remain at large.

Unlike the media are styling this is not any "game" and there is absolutely no "justification" in unemployment or whatever: it is Nazism and it is the work of a serial murderer or murderers with racist motivation. 

Nigerian Henry Kwasu was injured and recovers at hospital, while Senegalese S. B. C. managed to escape his attackers.

In 2005 and 2008 the local mafia murdered several immigrants with the self-declared pretext of "warning" colored drug-dealers. However the victims all seem to have been innocent workers.

USA: nonviolent resistance against immigrant deportations

Hundreds of activists of the Arizona Dream Act Coalition and United We Dream surrounded deportation facilities in the state capital Phoenix. Six activists sat before the deportation bus for hours until the expulsion was halted. 

The authorities arrested two, paperless Mexican-American José Patiño and UWD leader Ray José. After a long night of uninterrupted phone calls from the citizenry they were both released.

Patiño stated upon his liberation:

I am doing this because I am so fed up with people playing games with our lives," said Ray Jose. "My mom and my dad are getting tired. My dad cannot do physical labor any more. It is for the sake of my family, who sacrificed so much for me, that I am ready to do this".

Hours earlier four other DREAM activists were arrested after chaining themselves to the ICE complex. They are Yadira García, Francisco Luna, María Castro and Alejandra Sánchez. 

The essential content of these protests is anti-apartheid:

We cannot accept any legislative proposal that would amplify the pain our communities have been subjected to for decades while blocking our families from a path to citizenship," said Cristina Jiménez, Managing Director of United We Dream. "Terrorizing our communities or creating a permanent underclass is un-American and unacceptable".

The civil disobedience organizations describe themselves as follows:

The Arizona Dream Act Coalition is the largest immigrant youth led organization in the state of Arizona. Our mission is to have a nation full of educated and integrated immigrant youth. We are an affiliate of the United We Dream Network.

United We Dream is the first and largest immigrant youth-led network in the nation with 51 affiliate organizations in 25 states that organize and advocate for the dignity and fair treatment of immigrant youth and families, regardless of immigration status. UWD's current priority is to win citizenship for the entire undocumented community and end senseless abuses and deportations.

Greece: police raids two social centers in Athens University

From Form the Greek Streets:

Police raids the historical Athens polytecnic campus in exarcheia, five detained

Greece: 10,000 workers to be fired; riot at immigrant concentration camp

Two different news from Greece, not as unrelated as they may seem: they are both serious symptoms of a failed capitalist state.

Samaras will fire 10,000 state workers

The 9,820 public servants mentioned by Eleftherotypia include teachers, cleaners, police agents (surely not the Nazis!), social assistants, airport workers, health personnel and archaeologists. Eleftheros Tipos makes the figure reach 10,092.

The pact with Satan, I mean: the Troika (EC, ECB, IMF), signed by Samaras implies 25,000 public workers to be fired only this year, 60,000 for 2015. The total of redundancies will then amount to 150,000 workers.

Naturally workers did not remain quiet: several thousands gathered before the Ministry of Finance and marched to Parliament.

They denounced that these measures imply closure of hospitals and other services because they cannot be attended with so few workers as they will remain.

Riot in Amygdaleza concentration camp

Greece: shooting down the immigrants

On July 27, it was known by means of a survivor that three Pakistani immigrants were murdered by Greek border police agents, who shot them down when they tried to cross the border from Turkey. Four others were injured. The media remains silent. 

From Samaa (via I Can't Relax In Greece):

Three Pakistani migrants were killed and four others wounded as they came under fire from Greek border guards.

According to reports, the Pakistani nationals were illegally trying to sneak into Greece from Turkey when they were spotted by border security forces, who opened fire. As a result, three Pakistanis were killed and four others were injured.

Family of Zafar, a resident of Mandi Bahauddin, who was among the dead, called upon Pakistani authorities to bring back the body of his son.

The aggrieved family says that it was informed about the attack by another Pakistani, who too was trying to enter Greece.

Greece: immigrant dies after being neglected in concentration camp

The unbearable shame of concentration camps for immigrants in Europe has become even worse with a death caused by criminal neglect. 

From From the Greek Streets:

Migrant from Afghanistan dies in Athens hospital after long-term neglect in the hands of the police

Mohammad Hassan, a migrant from Afghanistan, had been detained in the concentration camp of Corinth since September 2012. Despite the fact that he repeatedly complained about the pain he was suffering, his pleas were completely ignored and he received no medical help. Only on July 2, Mohammad was finally transferred to the Sismanogleio hospital in Athens. He died at the hospital on July 27. 

The doctors had diagnosed him with a respiratory infection, which would point at pneumonia or another similar infection.

Italy: racist attacks against Congo-born minister

Some days ago in Cervia, a small group of Nazis threw bananas to the Italian minister of Integration, Cécile Kyenge (pictured), born in Congo.

However much worse was that in the previous days, notorious politicians of the North League (secessionist and racist even towards Southern Italians), threw outrageously racist attacks against Kyenge. 

First a former councilor, Dolores Valandro, using Facebook, asked for someone to rape Kyenge, after she defended the immigrant community from generalized attacks upon an isolated rape crime. Valandro was expelled from the party and sentenced to 13 months of prison and three years of political disqualification for inciting to commit sex crimes on racist grounds. 

Then, on July 13th, the vice-president of the Senate and former minister under Berlusconi, Roberto Calderoli, compared Kyenge with an orangutan, raising demand of resignation by the majority of the chamber (to no avail).

Netherlands: immigrants in hunger and thirst strike

From Contra Info:

Since May 1st, 2013 more than a hundred prisoners in migrant detention centers throughout the Netherlands have gone on hunger and thirst strike. Some have already been broken by intimidation and isolation, but some, such as Nessar, who is on hunger and thirst strike in Rotterdam, are still on strike at the time of writing (the 13th of May). Since he is a spokesperson for the strikers, he was placed in isolation a few days ago. They are waking him up every hour, refusing to allow independent doctors visits, and since his kidneys are failing, he was brought yesterday, against his will, to the penitentiary hospital.

Solidarity with the migrants in hunger strike

These strikes have only become known due to the solidarity demo’s that took place in several migrant prisons on the 5th of May. The recent hunger strikes deserve our full solidarity, as a desperate call for dignity and freedom. In the Netherlands thousands of people are locked up simply for being ‘illegal’. The ones who decide to take these ‘measures’, the ones who make laws to which everyone must bend, are the ones profiting from control and repression.

Sweden: sixth night of widespread riots

Popular riots in Stockholm and other Swedish cities continue for the sixth night (yesterday night, I don't yet have info for tonight). 

The confirmed collaboration of firefighters with police is now resulting in attacks against firefighters, who don't dare to approach the fires before police secures the area first. 

The number of burnt cars already reaches hundreds, several police stations have also been torched.

Sweden: riots continue in Stockholm for fourth night, also in Malmö

Some 30 cars burned are the result of yet another night of rioting in Stockholm. Some incidents were also registered in the southern city of Malmö. 

The violence began when, days ago, police killed an immigrant with alleged psychological problems who had barricaded himself in his apartment of Husby with his companion.

Swedish media have gathered reports by neighbors of this Stockholm suburb describing arbitrary and racist police attacks against anyone, including children and elderly people, along with continuous insults like "nigger", "rat", "monkey", etc. These reports have triggered an internal police investigation, it seems. 

After decades of being one of the most advanced welfare states on Earth, Sweden converted itself to savage Capitalism after the murder of the charismatic Olof Palme in the 1990s, producing the greatest growth of inequality in all the OECD. While still retaining one of the highest standards of life of Europe, youth unemployment and poverty have been growing quite brutally with most dramatic effects on the immigrant communities.
