Genoa: is still thereGenoa G8, july 2001: one person shot, hundreds of people injured, hundreds arrested even in the hospitals, an enormous demonstration which has been controlled with violence. All is still here. The examination of what happend during the G8 days in July 2001 is now being held in the court of the Italian town.
The trial on 25 activist charged for sack and devastation has been opened after the summer recces. The preliminary hearings about the 29 police officer in charge of forgery and slander regarding the raid at the Diaz School started on 27 Semptember. In January there will be there will be the trial on Bolzaneto, a place where many demonstrators were temporarily detained and were heavily injured.
In each case the inquiries were made using a lot of video and photos, coming from police, but also seized from activists computers which were assembled in a not objective way, which reflects a precise intention of charge only the demonstrators as responsable of the violence of Genoa days. Since that, Indymedia Italy has created a support group for the legal team, which is helping analyzing all video, photos, documents and radio communication used by the accused, and to build up a database of all the documents.Some people are working in Genoa, many are supporting from their towns. They are trying also to recall that what happend on Genova G8 is totally different from the story that the public officers tells. > read more: http://www.indymedia.org/or/2004/10/111947.shtml
