Subject globe_l: URGENT action! Vyborg #2

Before they mount yet another vicious attack on Russian workers (like at the Vyborg strike), let the owners and their politicians know that the world is watching!
Please act and forward widely!

Dear comrades,

We have just recieved a phone call from Chernigovets. I wrote before about this open pit mine in Kuzbass region now run by the workers. The region governor CPRF member Aman Tuleyev acting in the interests of a well know russian billionaire Boris Berezovsky have been pretending to take the control over the enterprise. He failed to it. Tonight he wants to take a revenge. Hundreds of armed riot policemen brought from Kemerovo tonight have surrounded the administration building and are preparing a night assault just now.  The local time is 4 a.m.!!! Members of the union and workers' committees are now locked by police in their rooms. They are not let out. the night shift refuses to start the work. The miners are ready to go on strike at any moment if they start the assault.

Urgent action is needed right now!!!! Phone calls, telegramms, faxes of protest. Articles in newspapers. If any progressive journalist could call and say he will write an article it would be great, Tuleyev is very much afraid of mass media those not controlled by him. He says a lot of lies about workers of Chernigovets, but it's better to speak directly with the workers' committee members.

Here are some phone numbers where you can find just right now union committee members and some journalists working there. Please call them right now. Hands off the wokers of Chernigovets!!!
