Chaque despotisme a besoin d’une Bastille. Le Maroc de Hassan II eut Tazmamart, la Guinée de Sékou Touré eut le Camp Boiro, la terrible autocratie des Tsars et de Joseph Staline eut les goulags de la Sibérie, et, lorsqu’elle entra en conflit avec ses propres principes, la démocratie américaine usa de Guantanamo. Le despotisme naissant du Niger a, déjà tout préparée, la « Maison de Haute Sécurité de Koutou Kalé », aménagée sous le gouvernement pourtant apparemment civilisé de la 5ème République.

The following is an official message from a grassroots movement in Israel named New Profile, which is part of a larger coalition of Israeli groups opposed to the occupation and repression of Palestinians and to the militarization of Israeli culture. Currently, the Israeli government is using methods that are becoming more and more repressive, which is why we feel it is important to share this with you. Below their summary of the situation, you will find links to related articles and a call to action.

Excerpts :

We would like to reiterate that police harassment of New Profile and the interrogation of eleven of our members are not isolated events. They are part of a virulent drive of state McCarthyism, a stepped-up systematic persecution of left-wing activists and voices. This drive arguably obviates the remnants of Israel's claim to democracy and parodies its ludicrous boast to representing a single democratic beacon in the Middle East. // Among human rights organizations in Israel, Adalah for instance is still preparing a report on the recent, sharp escalation in combined state and university repression of student activists and [...] will soon be publicizing their comprehensive report on state violence against activists, left-wing groups and individuals, as well as their international supporters.
