Following a meeting in the autonomous space 'Les Tanneries' in Dijon (France) last year, there was a call out for two days of decentralised actions in defence of free spaces and for an anti-capitalist popular culture on 11/12 April 2008.

A Reclaim the Streets party took place in Wellington outside 128 Abel Smith Street, a radical social centre which was raided only 6 months ago on 15th October in the so-called 'anti-terror' raids. The party was a great success, although the police showed up several times and some sound gear was confiscated. [ Report and Photos | Video ]
