MRTA solidarity action in Milan
On friday 17, 1997 around 100 activists make staged a 2-hour demonstration outside the Peruvian Consulate in Milan, Italy.
A large police presence hindered the visibility of the rally somewhat. The protestors tried to inform the public about what's happen today in Peru and in other countries of the world wich are ravaged by neo-liberal economic policies.
Everyone can see what living condition in Peru are like today.
It is right for all people in civil society, and for the international community, to use the tools at their disposal to bring about a political solution to this crisis, and to demand:
- freedom for all political prisoner in Peru; and end to the system of "faceless judges" in Peruvian courts, an end to the deteriorated prison conditions since the 1992 Fujimori coup;
- a better quality of life for the more 20 million Peruvians who are living in difiicult conditons;
- the italian government offer political asylum to members of the MRTA who have struggled to end the poverty in their nation, and who have had to flee from the political harrassment they faced in Peru at the hands of Fujimori.
The demo in Milan was an expression of full solidarity with all people who are shouting "NO!" against to their government policies, like the people in Peru, the workers in Korea, and the opposition forces in Mexico, and all people who are struggling against the domination of the World Bank and the IMF and the new wave of slavery and the militarization sweeping across the "Third" World.
