August 5 Sydney: banners dropped in solidarity with Toronto G20 Prisoners

Submitted by autonomousactions on Wed, 08/08/2012 - 6:36pm

On August 5 some anarchists dropped two banners from the Cahill expressway bridge outside the Canadian consulate. The action was in response to a call for August 5 solidarity actions for Kelly Rose Pflug-Back, an anarchist hostage of the Canadian state, recently sentenced to 15 months in prison for her resistance to the 2010 Toronto G20. The banners read:

'EVERY PRISONER IS A POLITICAL PRISONER'

'FREE KELLY ROSE PFLUG-BACK'

As parliament meets to debate offshore processing
Rally to welcome refugees

End mandatory detention & free the refugees

Following the latest asylum seeker boat tragedies, there is a clamour for a solution to deaths at sea. But both political parties insist on proposing offshore processing to “stop the boats”. Labor simply prefers its Malaysia Agreement while the Coalition prefers re-opening Nauru.
