"A Ripressione Basta", Corsican national movement calls for a rally to end the French Repression

The group of former political prisoners "Patriotti" organized this Saturday, March 16 in Corti, a meeting to organize an anti-repression demonstration. The date and place have been fixed. It will be April 13 in Bastia. The appointment is set at 15 hours, from the courthouse.

At the meeting were invited the entire national movement, unions, associations and other political parties. However, the territorial majority "Pè a Corsica" declined the invitation. "There are absentees today but we are not here to talk about that," said Félix Benedetti of the Patriotti collective - "We are organizing our mobilization and we hope they will change their minds and they will come. the repression is simply linked to the fact that there is no political solution in Corsica, and as long as there is no political solution there will be repression. "

"The repression seems to be accentuated for a year. The former political prisoners have allied themselves to defend their rights. But that does not stop with a simple condemnation since 15 years, there is a desire to implement several types of files that restrict our freedoms.This event would defend this freedom. In particular the file FIJAIT. A file that fights against true terrorism". reminiscent of the attacks of Bataclan and Charly hebdo. It is a liberticidal law, it is extended to the Corsican political prisoners, who are in fact resistants, three militants refused by ideology to submit to it. These files are an insult for themselves and the whole of Corsica ".

French repression is seen every day in the island: repeated trials where the state does not respect its own rules where it does not even wait the results of the cassation to launch a new procedure, the FNAEG, the DNA file, the fines which are disproportionate. Several movements joined the call:
