Ongoing road bloackade against Mining in Sweden

30 July 2013 Right now there is a bat­tle against min­ing in Sap­mi, north of Swe­den, going on. We have bar­ri­cad­ed the road lead­ing to the site where Beowulf Min­ing Plc. want to make test mines. This is the Sami peo­ples lands stolen by the Swedish state and col­o­nized since way back. We stand in sol­i­dar­i­ty with indige­nous cul­ture and fight against the mega-machine of min­ing. The Swedish police are now on the site remov­ing obsta­cles to help the min­ing cor­po­ra­tion pro­ceed. At least 6 peo­ple have been arrest­ed already but protests are still going on. For five days the police have this spe­cial mis­sion to help the evil cor­po­ra­tion, that’s why we need peo­ple now!

This is a strate­gic bat­tle, if the resis­tance to the mine is strong enough Beowulf will not be able to sell the min­ing site to anoth­er cor­po­ra­tion (which is their plan). There is a secu­ri­ty radius of 150m from the test pits, if peo­ple are inside those the cor­po­ra­tion are not able to det­o­nate explo­sives. How far is this cor­po­ra­tion ready to go? Are they ready to blow peo­ple up to get their ore? We don’t know but we are ready to die to stop them. Sol­i­dar­i­ty protests, new war­riors, prayers, actions and what­ev­er you can imag­ine to help is/are wel­come!

For every­thing wild and free!
