>In order to suffocate any oppositional voice, Bush did not hesitate
to assign himself dictatorial powers. Whoever in the US dares
to support the liberation struggles of the oppressed peoples
is being labelled a terrorist, considered the enemys agent, persecuted
and finally imprisoned. The US allies, among them Europe, are
eager to apply this theorem. Consequently, they are adopting
repressive legislations which transform the citizens into subjects
without a voice and democracy into oligarchy. (Call for the Anti-imperialist
Camp 2002)
>Under the pretext of September 11, the US and their western
allies have not only launched a neocolonial war without precedence
against all those peoples and movements that struggle against
imperialism in order to defend or achieve sovereignty and freedom.
Moreover, they have declared war against democratic rights in
the West in order to threaten and destroy any incipient opposition
in the very center of power.
>
>The black lists of alleged terrorist organizations are not only
being used to legitimate genocidal wars. In the US and Europe,
a racist campaign against the Muslim communities has been launched.
Hundreds of people continue to be imprisoned without any evidence.
In Guantanamo, the prisoners of war are being denied their basic
rights as stated in the Geneva Convention. Torture is being legitimated
by the necessity of the Empires so called national security.
In Europe, the right to political asylum for those who allegedly
directly or indirectly support a terrorist organization is put
into question and Spain, Europes vanguard with regard to state
terrorism, is arranging for the ban of the Basque party Batasuna,
which accounts for more than 15% of the electorate and enjoys
broad popular support.
>
>The US based International Action Center (IAC) is one of the
few organizations which in the very heart of imperialism has
been struggling for decades in support of the anti-imperialist
movements and political prisoners such as Mumia Abu Jamal and
Leonhard Peltier. Today, they are campaigning against the anti-democratic
and racist measures being applied against the Arab, Muslim and
generally immigrant communities residing in the US. Ramsey Clark,
former attorney general of the US, who has had the possibility
to get to know the functioning of imperialism from an inside
point of view, is founder and outstanding activist of the IAC.
He has been conveying the IACs solidarity to all the peoples
attacked by the US to the resisting governments of Yugoslavia
and Iraq as well as to the people of Palestine and Colombia.
Furthermore the IAC has firmly condemned the imperialist crimes
against humanity such as the use of depleted uranium.
>
>The IACs delegation at the Anti-imperialist Camp will explain
in detail the new US laws that legitimate international and national
terrorism as well as the attempt to form an anti-imperialist
answer in the very heart of US-imperialism.
>
>In the same context, an in-depth analysis prepared by the lawyers
of the Argentine organization CORREPI (Coordination Group against
Police and Institutional Repression) setting out the violations
of international legal standards in Guantanamo will be presented.
>
>The representatives of the Basque struggle for self-determination
will explain Baltasar Garzons anti-democratic campaign. This
Spanish judge has become famous as one of the mental fathers
of the International Court in the Hague another instrument established
in order to legitimate international interventionism. He is,
however, also one of the main persons in charge of Spanish state
terrorism against the Basque people.
