Quebec: New Years Eve fireworks at Joliette womens prison

From La Solide

Translated by Contra Info

In the evening of December 31st, we went to the federal womens prison in Joliette (the only prison for women with sentences exceeding 2 years, in so-called Québec), in Lanaudière region. We held two banners with the inscriptions: ‘The love for freedom makes us enemies of authority’ and ‘freedom is our absolute weapon’. We shot some fireworks, we could communicate with the women incarcerated and chanted our solidarity. Several of them came out of there units (little houses in the prison yard), or went to their windows. This was the first time of it’s kind at this prison.

Solidarity with all prisoners in struggle

Until we are all free

LET’S DESTROY ALL PRISONS AND THE WORLD THAT NEED THEM
