25, 50, and 75 Years Ago
September 27, 1991
LONDON — Police riots and hundreds of arrests have met rebellions of
youth in towns across Britain over the last four weeks.
From Cardiff in the South West to Handsworth, Birmingham, and Oxford in
the Midlands, to North Shields and Newcastle in the North East, 5,000
people have taken to the streets in battles against police riot squads
and militarized cops — the Special Patrol Group.
Parliamentary leaders of both Conservative and Labour parties have
condemned the youth and praised the police actions.
The sources of the rebellions are the deteriorating social conditions
and accompanying cop brutality. While young people face the prospect of
long periods without work, they are the victims of constant police
harassment.

The Peruvian military authorities, acting as both prosecution and judge,
sentenced Hugo Blanco, the Trotskyist peasant leader, to 25 years in El
Frontón, the grim prison in the harbor of Lima. His comrade and
co-defendant Pedro Candala was given 22 years, likewise in El Frontón.
Up to the final moment on Sept. 8, it was feared that the military might
carry out the plan they had reportedly envisaged — giving Hugo Blanco
the death sentence. Evidently they reconsidered in view of the reaction
that was visible even in the small town of Tacna where people lined up
for admission into the large hall where the court was held and where the
audience clearly favored the prisoners, at times expressing such
sympathy that the judge had to clear the court.

The Seafarers International Union, AFL, has struck 23 American-flag
ships with which it has contracts on foreign runs. Twenty of the vessels
are now tied up in major Atlantic and Gulf ports and are surrounded by
strong picket lines. The number of struck ships is mounting daily as the
SIU continues to call off the crews of every contracted foreign run boat
as it hits an American port. Strike action was taken to enforce its
demands for war bonus payments.
The success of the union in completely tying up the struck ships for two
weeks would have led to the capitulation of the bosses in most strikes.
This time, however, the United States Maritime Commission has intervened
and instructed the shipowners not to negotiate with the union until the
strike has been called off.
