BRING POTS AND PANS
*Breaking news – lead negotiator for student union Classe, Philippe Lapointe, has been arrested*
Faced with the biggest protests ever seen in Quebec by students fighting against an 80% hike in fees, police have been importing the same tactics used against students and other anti-cuts protesters in Britain by the discredited Metropolitan police.This includes the deployment of notorious kettling tactics to intimidate protesters and mass arrests of protesters with over 2,500 arrested so far, along with indiscriminate police violence which has seen people suffer serious injury.It has also seen the introduction of a draconian new law, Bill 78, which bans any protest within 50 meters of university buildings, imposing severe financial penalties on those involved in pickets or other protests deemed illegal, and requiring eight hours notice for any protest involving more than fifty people.Quebec students are fighting the same battles fought by students in Britain over the past two years. They are an inspiration to many around the world confronted with unprecedented cuts and austerity measures.On Wednesday 30th May protests in solidarity with the Quebec struggle will take place across Canada.
The whole world is watching!
Join the protest in London in solidarity with the Quebec students struggle against fees, and call for:
* The immediate release of Student leader Phillippe Lapointe
* The scrapping of Bill 78* An immediate cessation of kettling, mass arrests and other police tactics designed to intimidate and punish protesters* The freeing of any imprisoned protesters – drop the charges, conditions and fines imposed on protesters
I believe that human rights are essential for all .So ,Quebec students are solitariness their policy,Then i agree their rights.
