Bump On My Lip Piercing

Solidarity against repression in Tunisia! Demonstration Saturday 15 to 14:00 Republic Square.

After the outrageous Bruno Lemaire, Agriculture Minister, saying he should not judge the events in Tunisia and the despot Ben Ali, now the French government is back! Michèle Alliot-Marie allows the company to provide assistance to the Tunisian authorities in providing "expertise" in policing, to the applause of UMP!

What an admission of cruelty on the part of our government, usually so quick to denounce violations of human rights when it comes to plans that do not serve the interests of the French bourgeoisie! In addition to underestimate the magnitude of mobilization against a beleaguered regime, the French government does not hesitate to offer assistance to the colonialist overtones! Yet the death toll mounts by the day with nearly thirty people dead and a mobilization that is growing into the capital! All sectors of Tunisian society are fighting against unjust power serving the interests of the most vile caste! Poverty, corruption, police state: this is what explains the enormous mobilization and commitment to change the Tunisian people, especially young generations! The so-called gestures of appeasement of President Ben Ali (dismissal of Interior Minister, release of jailed protesters) should not mask the terrible repression that has befallen the people of Tunisia! This morning, the historical opponent Hamma Hammami, head of the Tunisian Communist Workers Party (PCOT) was violently arrested at his home by thugs power!

Enough smoke and mirrors and blackout! That the French authorities continue to support the dictatorship of Ben Ali and Hamma Hammami was released immediately! That the claims of the Tunisian people are finally taken into account!
