LIBRERIA
EUROPA TORCHED BY HIRED BARCELONA
MOBA news release issued today by
Surcheque Internacional states:
"Last month we informed you of the
trial of Pedro Varela and his
Librería Europa, and the
sentence that condemned him to five
years imprisonment for racial hatred
and holocaust denial. This sentence is
under appeal and we are waiting for the
higher court decision.
"Today we inform you
that Librería Europa has been
set on fire. Yesterday, January 16th,
there was a demonstration against this
bookstore organized by several Marxist,
Jewish, and other democratic groups.
The police asked us to keep the
bookstore closed to avoid violence, and
we complied with this
request.
"But the crusaders of freedom
destroyed the entrance, smashed their
way in, shattered the shop windows and
burned thousands of books. The police
did nothing. This is the first and
incomplete bit of news that we can give
for the moment. We'll keep you
informed.
"Help us to fight for liberty!"
