Police Brutality
International Day Against police Brutality March 15th 1999
This day of protest first began in 1997, at the initiative of the
Drapeau Noir collective in Switzerland. For the last two years, the
International Day Against Police Brutality (IDAPB) has been a
success. Groups that have participated are critical of more than
just police brutality, and most are anti-authoritarian and/or
anarchist.
To date various types of events have taken place: street theatre,
painting murals, demonstrations, conferences, workshops, photo and
text exhibitions, radio shows, and cultural events. Some groups have
done more than one event for the day. In some cities, coalitions
have been formed to organise for IDAPB. Any group or individual can
do something. Our imagination is the key.
In this country, it is being publicised by the NATIONAL COALITION
OF ANTI-DEPORTATION CAMPAIGNS * c/o 101 Villa Road, Birmingham B21

So, work out what you want to do in your locality and go for it.
