I dimostranti addestrano agli accampamenti prima della sommità del Giappone G8

Lunedì 7 luglio 2008

Da Danielle Demetriou | Dreadlocks che flailing nel vento, l'uomo ha emesso un feroce grida mentre ha funzionato giù il vicolo calmo del paese verso me, brandishing un bastone di bambù in ogni mano.

Normalmente, girerei e fuggirei. Ma eravamo entrambi i ruoli di gioco in un'esercitazione di addestramento per i dimostranti che si preparano per la sommità di G8 del lunedì nell'Hokkaido nel Giappone del Nord e la mia propria faccia è stata coperta da una sciarpa rivoluzionaria minacciosa.

I migliaia dei dimostranti hanno marciato, ballato e tamburellato il loro senso tramite le vie vicino ad un hotel altamente fissato sul lago a distanza Toya in cui i capi verranno a contatto di.

Per molta gente, il fuoco già ha spostato da posizione del Gordon Brown sul cambiamento di clima e dal contenuto del wardrobe del Carla Bruni agli allievi, ai coltivatori, ai sindacalisti ed agli anarchici provanti ad interrompere gli atti.

Il Giappone, dove tali accampamenti di addestramento di protesta non sono stati presentati mai in su, sta prendendo molto seriamente la minaccia: ha schierato 40.000 polizie munite attraverso il paese ed è spesa £142 milione su sicurezza.

La polizia ha arrestato tre dimostranti dopo gli scuffles arrabbiati, compreso la disco-puleggia tenditrice su un galleggiante mobile di protesta.

I dimostranti stanno progettando con attenzione la loro risposta in un accampamento rurale ain Tobetsu vicino.

Le coperture di programma dirigono le officine di azione, le discussioni di tattica di protesta, l'addestramento consultivo legale, fare del puppet, tornei di gioco del calcio e tamburellante le sessioni.

Nell'apparenza di un dimostrante occidentale, il telegrafo si è infiltrato nell'accampamento, che si aderisce “ad una politica rigorosa di nessun mezzi„.

Era una camminata di 20 minuti attraverso i campi verdi sostenuti dalle montagne foschia-protette e dai cieli drizzly. Ma poichè la serie di tende colourful ha entrato nella vista, un automobile potrebbe inoltre essere visto nella distanza, equipaggiata dalla polizia normale dei vestiti che mantiene un occhio watchful sugli atti.

L'accampamento è stato regolato nei motivi di una scuola precedente, in cui le bandiere flourescent anti-G8 hanno fluttuato nella brezza ed in un grande segno colti: “Villaggio alternativo.„

All'interno di una tenda di ricezione, due attivisti giapponesi slouched su un sofà, distribuito una lista delle regole e chiesto gentile affinchè una donazione quotidiana Y1,500 (£7) contribuiscano a fare funzionare l'accampamento.

Circa tre quarti dei dimostranti è giapponese da una varietà di ambiti di provenienza, compreso i sindacalisti, di coltivatori, di attivisti e del partito comunista giapponese.

Many of them are students, but there were plenty of older Japanese citizens as well, including Hiroshi Tsuchira, 71, a retired airport worker.

“Life is difficult for people in Japan and I have never been to march this big before but it is important for people to hear our voice,” he said. “Our future will not be good if it lies in the hands of the G8 leaders.”

Other activists came from San Francisco, London and Nantes.

They included people from charities like Oxfam and more riotous protesters from a French anarcho-syndicalist commune.

“We are protesting against a structure of capitalism that has been created by the G8 summit,” said Nakata-san, a political science student from Tokyo. “We want to create our own ideal system in this campsite community.”

Despite its anarchic credentials, the campsite offers a perfect template of Japan’s renowned organisational skills. Neat piles of placards, T-shirts and recycling bins line the entrance, while leaflets offer advice on protest etiquette.

Japanese bamboo flute music is as prominent as punk rock on the internal sound system, which also broadcasts sudden and surreal messages: “Will volunteers please help peel vegetables for dinner!” or “Rave party in the gym at 5pm!”

The gym is a vast space filled with piles of anti-G8 banners and brightly coloured protest “puppets” – including eight wooden creations on sticks emblazoned with skulls on one side and the faces of G8 leaders on the other.

And there are many meetings. After a long discussion about colour-coded washing-up bowls and whether sheets should be used with futons, the cultural differences suddenly came to light.

“Is there nothing else to talk about?” muttered Sarah, a straight-talking activist who spent two months travelling overland to Japan from London. “I’m stunned.”

Beneath the veneer of domesticity, serious training sessions are under way for the 1,000 protesters at three camps near Lake Toya.

One teaches how to avoid arrest. “It was hands on, direct and practical,” said James, a 19-year-old Cambridge undergraduate. “It’s useful for people who want to go to these protests and make an impact without getting arrested.”

From intricate diagrams of where to stand in a crowd to stunts like dressing up as clowns, the discussions are painstakingly detailed.

For protesters who need to sleep, there are tents or, for an additional fee, three neatly organised rooms, equipped with futons and blankets.

And for those too hungry to continue training on behalf of the world’s poor, there are delicious vegan meals of curry, risotto, seaweed salad and fresh fruit prepared by a “food collective” that also works around the clock to make fresh hemp bread from cannabis seeds.

Late arrivals were disappointed to learn that they had missed the last of the direct action workshops laid on over previous days. They were masterminded by Lisa Fithian, an American activist - and so fearful are the Japanese authorities over the risk of disruption to the summit that she was reportedly only allowed into the country on condition that she left before the summit had even begun.
