    Though the peacewalk was permitted to include a sound demonstration where some people get on the loading platform of the track for manipulating sound systems, four people were arrested in the situation where riot police and secret officers were mixed together for an attack on the demonstration. The Challenge the G8 Summit, “Peacewalk of 10,000” was done in Sapporo City on July 5. Various people participated in the rally held in Odori Park, and the walk became large-scale, eventually reaching 5,000 people.

    However, with extraordinary violence, police charged the sound demonstration in the peacewalk where people gathered around music being played from the loading platform of a truck built up with sound systems. Though the peacewalk was pe…

    WORLD BANK CASTS ITS DARK SHADOW OVER G8

    HOKKAIDO, Japan July 7, 2008 – The World Bank is officially launching its “climate investment funds” backed by Japan, the US and the UK during the G8 meeting in Hokkaido, Japan, 7-9 July.

    The funds – which have already been criticised by developing country governments – will be used to finance so-called clean technology including coal and agrofuels, loans for adapting to climate change and to set up carbon trading schemes that allow industrialised countries to buy their way out of emission reductions.

    Friends of the Earth International Chair Meena Raman said:

    “The World Bank continues to finance dirty industries and is now trying to recast itself as the saviour of the plan…

    At Sapporo in Japan on the “Challenge the Summit – 10,000 people peacewalk” four people were arrested. Our G8 Media Network member was arrested. The media are not talking about this. We find this arrest regrettable.

    At the time of arrest, the G8 Media Network data collection group and a large number of witnesses were present, but the police excessively controlled the march and it is not clear why the police decided that an arrest was necessary. In addition, the situation has got to the point where authorised, foreign journalists are arrested, but you can see that the police were disturbed since the beginning by being photographed by a data collection person. The attitude of harshly controlling people who peacefully demonstrate and people…

    THE INFERNAL NOISE BRIGADE, the anarcho marching band that had performed in the midst of actions against G8 or WTO whenever they were held in a city, and gave the protesters courage and danceable impetus. Anarchist dj FILASTINE has been dropping sound bombs that smash borders and go beyond them. These two provided their music for NO G8 ACTION JAPAN, a network against this year's G8 held by lake Toya in Hokkaido. The compilation contains 11 unreleased songs from their early music career by the I.N.B and the latest mix by Filastine. Listening to this will certainly hype you up enough to get together with others and plunge into Hokkaido in July.

    On 12th June 2008, just in the afternoon before the G8 Finance Ministers' Meeting had began in Osaka with many guards and excessive security, one of the daily labourers in Kamagasaki was tortured by the police. From the next day 13th, many of the daily labourers and neighbourhood youth began to resist against the police repression and violence. Most Japanese mainstream media just copied the official announcements by the police and reported this as a "riot" for the first time after 18 years since the last one in 1990.

    10pm, 17th June: 5th nights from the beginning, reporters told us that dozens of labourers and youth were arrested. 4am, 18th June: Are they "suppressed"?

    Although we are very angry about Japanese goverment for suggesting a deal on this agreement which puts emviroment,health,and lives of people in Philippines at risk, we went to Philippino embassy wanting to stop the ratification of JPEPA which is being discussing at Senate. Lot of embassy staff came out to listen to our voice.

    Rebellion Needs Music!

    Sound-Collective No-G8 Rebellion Needs Music!

    From July 7th to 9th, 2008, the G8 summit will be held at Lake Toya, Hokkaido, Japan. Numerous anti-summit actions will take place against this haughty meeting which is trying to monopolize and define the course of the world with the so-called 8 major countries only.

    We, too, are disgusted at this absurd meeting. We would like to make spaces of protests, interaction, and solidarity with sounds. This is one of the things we can do to express our disgust.

    All this time, we had been drown, misled and confounded by a deluge of textual/visual information and was at first not interested in politics at all. But the impact of music/sounds opened our eyes to social issues. We are fed up with statements, excuses, apologies, policy changes by politicians. With music/sounds, we are going to make spaces of direct exchange, solidarity, and confirmation of our will of resistance in Hokkaido where G8 summit will b…

    4月5日、G8開発大臣会合2008への抗議・申し入れ行動が行われた。NHK報道によれば会場周辺は600名の機動隊がものものしく配置されるなか、申し入れ書を手渡すべく会場に向かった。会場からははるか離れた道路で通行はたちまち遮断されたが、外務省担当官の呼び出しを要求し、駆けつけた担当官に声明を読み上げるとともに手渡し、抗議の声を上げた。

    ========================================================= G8開発大臣会合2008への申し入れ =========================================================

    議長:高村正彦外務大臣殿

    私たちは日本の、そして世界の貧困、開発問題を憂慮する市民の集いです。私たちは、世界中に貧困を撒き散らしてきた原因が、G8諸国と多国籍企業の利益ばかりを優先する「開発」政策にあることを知っています。また、その牽引役となってきたのがIMF・世界銀行の構造調整政策であることを知っています。そして、今回日本で開かれているG8開発大臣会合は、もともとIMF・世銀総会のたびに開催されてきたものであり、2002年にIMF・世銀から独立した後も、その「開発」政策を促進することを主たる目的としたものであることを知っています。私たちは世界中の貧しい人びとを犠牲にしてまで、豊かな国と大きな企業の利益ばかりを保護してきたこれまでの「開発」政策に対して、また現在開かれているG8開発大臣会合の存在そのものに対して、非常に大きな疑問をいだいております。

    そこで、私たちとしましてはG8開発大臣会合出席のみなさんに、以下の2点を要求します。

    1.福田首相は、本年1月に開催された世界経済フォーラムにおいて、日本政府がアフリカ開発に真剣に挑むことを公言しておられました。そして、その課題とは「民間投資を引き寄せる魅力的な環境整備に向けて、道路網や電力網などの広域インフラ開発」を行うことだと述べています。しかし、ここで述べられていることは、従来、IMFや世界銀行が進めてきた「開発」政策となんら変わりがありません。民間投資に魅力的な環境とは、労働者の権利を剥奪し、小農民から土地を奪い、環境など気にせずに企業がモノを作れる状態に他なりません。私たちは日…
