Uruguay: Solidarity with Jose and Gabriel

(Translated from uruguay.indymedia.org, October 2, 2007)

On the night of Friday, September 28, the locks of the Goethe institute and Iberia were sealed in Montevideo.

On the side was written "solidarity with Jose and Gabriel" and a circle A.

A little gesture to greet the companions who made the call for solidarity with our imprisoned companions.

("Iberia" is the name of a Spanish airline that operates in Montevideo and a hotel in the same city. The Goethe institute is an official German cultural institution in Montevideo.)

On September 29, 2007, in the city of Ghent in Belgium, some 80 people demonstrated in solidarity with Jose and Gabriel.

In the city of Leuven in Belgium, statues were adorned with prison uniforms in solidarity with Jose and Gabriel.

In Germany, on September 29, about 60 to 70 people from Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain and Germany demonstrated outside the prisons of Aachen and Rheinbach where Jose and Gabriel are imprisoned. Tennis balls with messages were thrown over the walls and prisoners shouted back in approval. On September 21, a hip hop concert and demonstration were held in Berlin in solidarity with Jose and Gabriel. 150 people took part in that demo.
