Photo: People gather at the Italian Consulate in San Francisco - to demand that all Genoa/G8 prisoners be freed and all charges dropped - as the flags of the Italian State and the European Union flutter overhead.
Activist signs read:
“(Italian Prime Minister) Berlusconi Neo Fascist” and “Globalize Liberation Not State Repression”. An Art & Revolution spirit bird honoring Mumia Abu Jamal can also be seen.
