Call to Action Against Racism and Fascism<\/a>:<\/p>\n

During the early morning hours of March 27th, a Portland, Oregon anti-racist activist was shot in what appears to be a well orchestrated attack. It is suspected that the attackers were members of the neo- Nazi movement\u2026<\/p>\n

The March 27th shooting occurred within a backdrop of growing Right wing, racist, and emerging fascist organizing and activity. There has been a dramatic escalation of rhetoric and action from the broad Right. While all sectors of the working classes and poor face economic and social uncertainty, the racists, the Right wing, and the smaller but significant sections of the neo-Nazi and fascist movements are looking to divide our class and peoples\u2026<\/p>\n

We propose Saturday July 31, 2010 as a Call to Action Against Racism and Fascism. We want to use the CA to both engage the broad, independent, and radical anti-racist\/anti-fascist movements\u2026 we argue for a maximum of creative and independent initiative\u2026 to use the CA as a means to increase collaboration between our forces and work in a popular manner to highlight the need for a mass, radical response to racist and fascist organizing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Free Jock<\/strong><\/p>\n

No appeal date set for imprisoned Palfreeman<\/a>, Boel Eriksson, The Mosman Daily<\/em>, May 16, 2010.<\/p>\n

Australian Jock Palfreeman is currently serving a 20-year prison term in Sofia, Bulgaria, having been found guilty of murder and attempted murder in December 2009. In February 2010, Jock was placed in isolation for an indefinite period while an appeal against his sentence is being processed by the courts.<\/p>\n

Background<\/em><\/p>\n

In December 2007, Jock witnessed a group of men assaulting two Roma (\u201cGypsies\u201d) in Sofia. Jock went to the aid of the Roma men and interrupted the assault. The men were able to escape, but the gang continued their vicious attack on Jock. Following the fight, one member of the gang (Andrey Monov) was killed and another (Antoan Zahariev) injured. Jock maintains that he tried to escape the violent gang, and was forced to act in self-defense.<\/p>\n

Judge Provides Written Verdict, May 29, 2010: “After 5 months the senior judge in Jock\u2019s case has finally handed down his reasons for the unacceptable verdict he delivered in December of 2009. The document is in Bulgarian and is currently being translated into English. Only now can Jock\u2019s file be sent to the appeal court and an appeal date set. We do not have a date for the appeal as yet…”<\/p>\n
