23.02.2010 POLiCE RAIDED RADIO BLACK OUT Torino Italy

Early morning a big police operation in different italian cities Torino, Mantova, Trento e Cuneo brought to the search of 23 people including Radio BlackOut HQ. Among the people that have been searched, 3 have been given house arrest and 3 are currently under arrest.
The operation comes in a very particular moment for radio blackout, currently under eviction from Turin municipality and in a moment of very strong criminalization of the movement, particulary Centri Sociali and Squats...
The operation seems to be linked to the Anti-Racist coalition assembly that are protesting against Dedention Centres (CPT) in Turin but it is obvious that the intent is to additionally criminalize the movement that is active in many front (from No-TAV to anti-nuclear, to anti-racist, to anti-fascist and squats )...
Then the bastards used main media to promote their oppressive message.
