Solidarity with the USYD strike from Copenhagen

In the early hours of June 5 some anarchists redecorated the facade of the Australian embassy in Copenhagen with messages of solidarity with the ongoing strike at Sydney University. Students and workers at USYD have faced off against the pigs of the NSW police force on numerous occasions since April this year, in an ongoing campaign against neoliberal restructuring of their university.
We sprayed:

NO JUSTICE NO PEACE

CUT SPENCE STAB SCIPIONE

DROP ALL CHARGES AGAINST USYD STRIKERS

OCCUPY & RESIST!
