NAZIS MURDER SWEDISH UNIONISTTension between fascists and syndicalists has been rising in Sweden following the assassination of syndicalist SAC activist Bjorn Soderberg in October. Protests have been held throughout Sweden and in other European countries in response to the latest fascist attacks. A fund has been set up from which a Bjorn Soderberg prize will be awarded annually to the "person(s) who show courage and forthrightness in their workplaces." Soderberg, a union organiser for the syndicalist SAC in the southwest city of Svanstrom, was killed after revealing to the press that Robert Vesterlund, a local shop steward, was in fact an active neonazi and publisher of a fascist magazine. Vesterlund was expelled from the union. But four weeks later, Soderberg was shot to death in his own home. Three fascists, all with direct connections with Vesterlund, were arrested for the murder. The assassination was one of a series of violent neonazi acts in Sweden and internationally during the past month. In Sweden, this has included the assassination of two policemen in Malexander in May, a car bomb attack against two anti-fascist journalists in Nacka in June, and the recent bombing of an SAC building. The most brutal Swedish fascists are members of the NSF (National Socialist Front) and Combat 18. Sweden is also one of the largest exporters of "white power" music.

AUSTRALIAN STATE BANS POSTERINGA key component of grassroots and anarchist organising has been outlawed under legislation recently sneaked through the NSW (New South Wales) parliament. Under this legislation, anyone involved in unsolicited postering - from the person who puts up the poster, to the promoter of the event and the printer - can be fined $300 per poster. The legislation is aimed at strangling grassroots protests and organising, particularly during next year's Sydney Olympics, as well as wiping out the competition of grassroots and small business groups to big business advertising, particularly in the case of advertising in bus shelters.
