France: Protester killed in clashes with police at the ZAD of Testet


http://en.contrainfo.espiv.net/files/2014/10/testet.jpg (http://en.contrainfo.espivblogs.net/files/2014/10/testet.jpg)Background info on the struggle against the dam in Testet: 1 (http://anarchistnews.org/content/eviction-underway-zad-du-testet), 2 (http://thefinalstrawradio.noblogs.org/post/2014/09/29/zad-du-testet-the-struggle-against-a-dam/)
According to a statement from squatters in the ZAD of Notre-Dame-des-Landes (https://fr.contrainfo.espiv.net/2014/10/26/france-un-manifestant-tue-au-testet/), during the night between Saturday and Sunday the 26th of October 2014 a protester named Remi was killed in clashes that broke out after a rally against the construction of a dam along the Sivens forest in the wetland of Testet in the Tarn department (southern France).
Around 7000 people gathered in the ZAD (zone to be defended) of Testet, after months of police attacks and destruction of the wetland and habitations of those who defend the area. In the late evening and overnight, dozens of people attacked the forces of order that were protecting the dam construction site. Activists expressed their anger trying to delay the resumption of works, originally scheduled for Monday the 27th of October.
The cops fired rubber bullets (known as flash-balls), distraction devices such as stun hand grenades and fragmentation grenades, and tear gases. According to testimonies of protesters from the Testet wetland area, Remi must have collapsed after being hit with a grenade; then his body was reportedly taken by the repressive forces.
Prefectural authorities stated they did not want to comment on the matter before the official autopsy was made public on Monday. The government has already begun to stigmatize the protesters, in addition to trying to divide them in order to cover up what happened. But they know very well that, whatever they do, this death will have explosive consequences.

Le Testet: Killed by a grenade dubbed “non-lethal”. The struggle continues!
Libertarian Alternative (AL) groups from Agen and Toulouse were present on Saturday October 25 at the demonstration against the dam at Sivens (Tarn), the “big useless project” promoted by the Socialist Party, ardently contested by the local population and violently defended with police batons and with grenades dubbed “non-lethal”. On Saturday, one of those grenades killed someone.
Rémi Fraisse, a young person from Toulouse, was killed at le Testet during the night of Saturday 25 into Sunday 26 October.
We are already hearing discussions about the “pacifist opponenents” on one side and the “violent anarchists” on the other. It has presented an ideal opportunity for the government to send in its militia to “clean up” and attempt to divide the movement.
The local (local council) and national (the government of Prime Minister Valls) Socialist Party powers, who for many months, without any restraint, have been deploying their mobile guards against the zadistes occupying le Testet, only worsened the climate of violence, unleashing open violence on the part of militias of the local extreme right.
This escalation of daily violence, institutional or otherwise, has created amongst sections of the zadistes, a legitimate anger which could only ever end in the tragedy that the local militants had been expecting, quite rightly, to inevitably arrive.
Rémi, green militant and student at Toulouse, has paid the price.
The Toulouse AL group, present last night at the gathering in Saint-Etienne square, condemns of course all police intervention, and will continue to take part in the meetings which will take place in the coming days in order to mark our sorrow and our anger in the face of the police repression which killed one of our comrades this weekend.
We extend our full support to those resisting in le Testet, who are continuing the struggle there. We extend our condolences to Rémi’s family.

France: Open letter to the mother of Rémi Fraisse

The following letter by Farid El Yamni – brother of Wissam, who was killed by police in 2012 – is addressed to the mother of Rémi Fraisse (21), murdered by police in the early hours of October 26th, 2014. Wissam El Yamni (30) was brutally assaulted by cops in Clermont-Ferrand on New Year’s Eve, before being taken into custody. He fell into a coma and died in hospital Monday, January 9th, 2012. His death sparked rioting and car-burnings. Farid wanted his text to be made public, but it will also be sent to Rémi’s parents.


November 3rd, 2014


I am writing this letter to you at a time when violent protests are condemned and peaceful sit-ins are praised in Paris.
I lost my brother in conditions quite similar to those in which you lost your son. My brother, who once took so much care of my mother, left us and will not return. The loss of my brother has caused me immense pain that I feel every time the State kills again. “Where the danger grows, grows also that which saves,” someone said. Each time the State kills it’s also an opportunity to put a halt to it, force it to change, and render the lost dignity to all the others.
Rémi’s death is tied to much more than the story of a life; it is tied to the lives of all of us, individually and collectively. The criminalization which occurred is terrible; it was the same thing for us. I realized later that it was deliberate. I only wanted one thing: that the Justice gets to the truth and renders the dignity that my brother deserved, in quiet, and that this story benefits everyone, us the governed in order to love each other better, as well as the police in order to reconcile itself with the nation. I thought the police could not accept murderers into its ranks, I didn’t know it enough at the time. I was wrong. Neighbourhoods were burned; we appealed for calm: every burned car or trash bin was perceived as an insult, like a thorn in the heart, a thorn pushed deeper into us.
Then time passed, we were promised the truth, but we were provided with nothing except lies, nothing except false promises, like many others before us. People warned us, but we did not believe them. François Hollande, himself, took my mother into his arms and promised he would help us shed light on the death of her son. Without justice and truth, we lived the passing time as a prison sentence. All this time we were in prison suffocating and appealing to the Justice for help.
And then we realized that our case was not isolated; so many other families experienced and are still experiencing the same thing. There are so many humiliations and mutilations committed consciously by the police and covered up by the Justice, so many of them!
We also discovered how the police think, it’s spine-chilling. Here’s an example: last Wednesday, following the demonstration in Paris, one of the police officers told me “1–0” in front of his colleagues at the police station, who giggled when they saw me wearing the t-shirt “Emergency Our Police Assassinate”. No one told him anything, no one… With examples of this kind, so many people in everyday life in France can no longer stand this police, nor see the end of it.
I understand the appeal for calm; we also did the same back then. You also have to understand that many people no longer believe in this system that gives de facto impunity to the police. You have to understand that nonviolence is conceivable only if you suppose that the opposite camp is capable of questioning itself: they are humanly incapable of it, because they consider that calling the police into question would mean to call the State into question. For 40 years, the police kill with impunity, repeatedly. For 40 years, we are witnessing the same method of whitewashing the murders of the State, despite the videos, the testimonies, the evidences. For 40 years, there are sit-ins, demonstrations, books, official statements by politicians, declarations addressed to the interior minister. For 40 years, it does not work.
Here’s how it goes: the AFP news agency delivers the breaking story, the prosecutor lies, a shoddy investigation is opened and summarized to result in a ridiculous conviction, or even a lack of conviction, after many years. The worst thing is that those who will bury the affair will be promoted and those who killed our brothers, our sons or friends will be treated as champions by their colleagues. This is the reality that you’re also about to experience.
Manuel Valls said that violence is insulting to the memory of Rémi, but know that Manuel Valls, through his inaction in combating police impunity, is the prime murderer of your son. He is not simply criminal, but recidivist. He came to Clermont-Ferrand one week prior to the bogus counter-autopsy report, of which he knew the wherefores, and he spoke of the case with intent to condemn the violence of those who revolted against the killing of my brother.
Madam, people are fighting for Rémi, for their dignity and for their ideals. They fight for you, for all of us, for the brotherliness to be effective. Those who fight are familiar enough with the malevolence of our governors to understand they’re trying to make us believe that we are living in a State based on law, whereas we are living in a State based on duty. The State does not respect the law it demands that we respect. It plays with our bodies, our confidence, our money and our dignity. It demands that we are on our knees, and this one is a categorical imperative.
I wrote this letter to you, and to all those who read my words, to let you know that today, more than ever, I understand how much nonviolence in affairs of state crimes has its limits. Because of its powerlessness, nonviolence at times is more condemnable, more deadly than violence itself. Those who govern us are malicious, arrivistes, sadists and recidivists. They have to be thrown out by any means necessary.

footage from the demo and clashes on the 1st of november in Nantes in protest of the killing of Remi:
BOiSINB4Hx


note, i mistakenly said in the OP that Remi was killed during clashes at the ZAD near Nantes, there are in fact multiple ZAD's (TAZ's/protest freestates/militant action camps) in france at the moment, while the most militant and biggest resistance is arround the development of a new airport near Nantes Remi was in fact killed at an smaller ZAD that proets the building of a artificial irrigation lake at the costs of a forrest elsewhere. the french goverment porsponed this project for now after Remi got killed but not the Nantes project.

ZAD Calls Out for International Day Against Police on November 22nd

from Anarchist News (http://anarchistnews.org/content/zad-calls-out-intl-day-against-police-november-22nd)
http://earthfirstjournal.org/newswire/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2014/11/ZADremi.jpg (http://earthfirstjournal.org/newswire/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2014/11/ZADremi.jpg)November 22nd: an international day against police violence and repression
The repression that falls on those who oppose the mafia-like projects of politicians is ever more violent.
The Socialist party coming to power hasn’t changed anything.
The police, the gendarmes and the army injure and mutilate as much as ever, maybe even more, surfing on the wave of fascism that is rising up under the guise of a world economic crisis, and thanks to their weapons, becoming always more efficient with the emphasis on military technology.
Even more worrisome than constantly increasing war budgets is the unwillingness of cops, gendarmes, soldiers and their politician bosses to take responsibility for their violence. The omnipresence and unrestrained usage of flashballs, defensive ball launchers, and explosive grenades are some concrete examples.
The discourse is also simplified, glossed over, and the violence made to seem mundane. When we ask the cops in front of us if they are proud to have killed, they smile or threaten us. One of the police authorities in the Tarn recently affirmed that those who oppose the “forces of order” should expect violence and eventual injury.
And, some days ago, the police killed. Again.
We, who were gathered together in Testet to fight against this deathly project of the Sivens dam, we lost a friend. In the early hours of Sunday, October 26th, a few meters from soldiers of the State, armed and protected by their weapons and shields, Rémi Fraisse was murdered by the armed branch of the State.
By the level shot of a mercenary’s grenade, most likely aimed at his head, the explosive hit between the base of his neck and his shoulder. This despite that even the internal laws of the armed branches of the State forbid level shots at a certain distance and also forbid aiming at the head, or with some weapons, aiming at all.
This was not an accident. It’s even surprising that such a drama hasn’t happened earlier. The attacking police, gendarmes, and soldiers brake their own laws every day (of the evictions). We’ve lost track of the knees, hands, stomachs and heads that have been targeted. Their extraordinary and illegal violence leaves its trace on all of us, whether physical or emotional. This time it took someone with it: Rémi Fraisse.
But even if Rémi’s murder is headlining the nightly news and embarrassing the government, don’t believe that it’s an exception.
At the end of August, an “illegal” migrant died in a car with the BAC (a notoriously violent undercover police force) while being brought to the airport. It was almost ten years ago that the teenagers Zyed Benna and Bouna Traoré died hiding in an electric transformer after being chased there by the police. We’re not even mentioning deaths in war for economic interests, in Mali or elsewhere…
We’ve stopped counting on the charges pressed by those close to the ones murdered by an armed branch of the State. None of these trials have resulted in prison sentences.
We want rapid and implacable justice for the murderers in the armed branches of the State.
We demand that starting now, there is a legal amnesty for all those arrested for their opposition to the Sivens dam, who we consider to be almost political prisoners.
We also demand the total disarmament of the multiple armed branches of the State, to end the murders, the “mistakes” and the violence of police, gendarmes, and military.
Thus we join the call of the ZAD of Notre Dame des Landes to demonstrate everywhere against police repression on Saturday, November 22nd, 2014.
We call upon every person and every group that feels concerned by the danger represented by the State’s police forces to make actions and protest from wherever they are.
Let’s make November 22nd a national and international day against the violence of armed branches of the State, but let’s not forget that every day, before and after the 22nd, is a good day to make an insurgency against the existence of an institution which mutilates and murders for a “law-based” state and their profitable, mafia-like, and devastating projects.

Where did it come from, the grenade that killed Rémi? Strategic proposal for what comes next.
Rémi was killed by a police concussion grenade, Sunday October 26th. What happened to him could have happened to any one of us, anywhere. Some days later, Thursday the 30th, in a northern neighborhood in Blois, a young man lost an eye to a state rubber bullet. Saturday in Nantes, a demonstator took a rubber bullet to the face and lost his nose. How many times must history repeat itself?
We are not making demands to State power, for the conviction of the cop who shot him, or the resignation of a higher police official, or even the Minister of the Interior. For the death of Rémi to resonate everywhere and provoke a real movement, we propose to organize ourselves locally and nationally against the infrastructures that maintain order.
These are the infrastructures which make possible the terrorism of the State, which we are confronted with in the “ghettos” as well as in our social movements. These are the infrastructures which organize the police occupation of our territories and our existences. It is also them who are deployed as soon as a movement of opposition or contestation adventures outside of traditional paths cordoned off by powerlessness.
France is an expert in maintaining order, by neutralizing all efforts of people to rise up/bring themselves up. It exports globally it’s knowledge, weapons, and forms to many foreign police forces. It has also participated in crushing movements across the world, as in the insurrections of the Arab Spring in 2011. Didn’t Michèle Alliot-Marie brag to have provided French expertise in counter-insurrection to the Ben Ali regime? Paralyzing the infrastructure of the police is an act which, outside of the national context, supports all those who organize to struggle in other places and have to dodge French bullets.
The factories that make grenades, uniforms, and equipment for the police, their vehicles and their televised propaganda, the logistical platforms that organize food supplies for the troops; for us they are all targets. Outside of occasional confrontations or deployments, the continued existence of the armed group known as the national police depends on these resources.
The announcement that a certain type of offensive grenade has been suspended will not bring about a “return to calm”. What’s at stake in this movement, born on October 25th, is disarming the police. Flashballs, tasers, concussion grenades, have sufficiently mutilated, injured, or killed in these past couple of years.
We are no longer in the era of Malik Oussekine or Vittal Michalon*. Not a single union, not a single leftist organization called out for people to take the streets after Rémi’s death. They are in fact so afraid of the streets, they are reduced to organizing virtual protests like those proposed by the Green Party (#occupysivens).
What can we expect from the “Occupiers” who “condemn the violence of both sides” by carefully omitting which camp is equipped for war and which has a few cobblestones? That one side kills people and the other expresses their rage by breaking windows? At a time when the left is decomposing, when the far right are on the upswing, why is there not a single reaction from leftist political parties, NGO’s, or unions, after this police murder?
This week, 90 protests were organized in around 60 cities. We address our call-out to this autonomous power in the making. The collective emotion expressed in rage and contemplation is legitimate, but won’t be enough to change the situation.
We call for a long term strategy, consisting of harassing and collecting information on all those who support repression, to disrupt all the technical ways which permit it to be armed, to move, to feed itself, and more. These objectives encompass a diversity of tactics that correspond to the resources and limitations of groups and individuals. Noise demos outside police stations and barracks, verbal harassment of patrols, suing the police for injuries, sabotage, street demos; it’s the simultaneous usage of all these tactics that will help us to establish a favorable “rapport de force” against the police, in our neighborhoods and in our struggles.
A call-out is coming soon to organize demos in front of police weapons manufacturers. A list of strategic places will also appear soon. This is a strategic proposition that we are addressing to all those that are assembling, agitating, and organizing so that the backlash against this latest police murder spreads and grows.
*Malik Oussekine was killed by police in the student strikes of 1986, and Vittal Michalon in an anti-nuclear demonstration in 1977

France: Call to Blockade Police Stations for Remi Fraisse

(http://revolution-news.com/france-call-blockade-police-stations-remi-fraisse/#comments) Comrades from the Plateau of Millevaches call for a blockade of police stations
During a demo in memory of Rémi Fraisse, killed by a Flash Bang Grenade thrown by the French police while defending the land against the construction of the Testet dam, protestors in the town of Eymoutiers, France, stopped at a local gendarmerie (police station), locked the cops in the compound, and threw paint on the entrance road beside a banner calling for the police to be disarmed.
A video of their action was released yesterday, voiced over with a call for widespread acts of solidarity against the murderous police.
Below is a rough translation of this transcript of the video for English speakers.


http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x29seuw_le-plateau-de-millevaches-appelle-a-bloquer-les-gendarmeries_news


…Considering that for years [the state]has maintained public order through a strategy of intentionally inflicting injuries, knocking out eyes, and discharging shrapnel into protestors’ flesh;
Considering that such a strategy – “wounding one to scare one hundred” – ultimately aims to deter anyone from protesting, and to normalise the idea that disobedience could cost an eye, a nose, a jaw, and now a life;
Considering that the death of Rémi Fraisse was not the result of an accident, but the logical consequence of such a strategy;
Considering that even after the murder in Testet, the police continued to use weapons similar to that which caused the death of Remi, as witnessed by protesters attacked or injured by crowd-control and ‘désencerclement’ grenades on Saturday 1st November in Nantes and Toulouse;
Considering that it is likely that such events will happen again;
Considering that the PR strategy cynically adopted by the state in such situations consists in part in controlling the flow of information so as to contain popular feeling, and in part inblaming “small organized groups of rioters ” whereas the entire population, by its resolute presence, supports the riot;
Considering that it’s obvious that it’s not the rioters who are detached from the population, but rather the government and its police force;
Considering that this communications strategy is both gross and consistent in its crassness, and that it has gone on long enough;
Considering that the police have only as much legitimacy as the political order they conspire to maintain;
Considering that the current political order doesn’t even have an ounce of legitimacy, and that by consequence, neither do the police;
Considering that almost everyone hates the police (including the police themselves);
Considering that the gendarmerie is everywhere, like a foreign body that should be expunged;
Considering that these people are armed and dangerous, a militia in the service of all interests other than those of the people;
Considering that humanity has lived without the police for enough centuries and in enough places to possess the capacity for a life without such a wart;
Considering that we are adult enough to resolve our conflicts and decide how to live our own lives;
We, the Popular Assembly of the Millevaches Plateau, call on each and everyone of you in the coming days to go down en masse to police stations, gendarmeries and barracks and to block by any means necessary – stakes, welding, locks, walls, etc. – the exit of the useless, evil and frequently murderous uniformed individuals that occupy them.”
