"Mr President, the operation to criminalise pacifist action is continuing in Greece with the referral to the courts of 5 peace fighters who, with thousands of others, expressed the opposition of the Greek people to the dirty imperialist war against the Yugoslavian people. One aspect of the fight was the blockade on the columns of NATO vehicles, in which the 5 peace fighters also participated. Although tried and acquitted, they are being brought to trial again on 29 October.
Recently, cadres of the All Workers Military Front trade union movement who opposed the violation of workers' and employment rights, the sentences imposed on strikers and the pronouncement of almost all strike action as illegal and abusive, were also convicted. We have seen and are seeing similar trials against farming trade unionists. This is an effort to terrorise the grass-roots movement and halt its development. It comes within the framework of the abolition of employment and democratic rights and freedoms and the imposition of the new order of big business in all sectors. Such action must be condemned categorically and measures must be taken to overturn any attempt to curtail democratic rights, which holds a gloomy future in store for us. In all events, they will come up against intensified reaction by the workers and our peoples in general."@en1
