3. BEGGING FOR MONEY
*****************************************************
Please, give us money!
We need money to buy things, or in other ways help the
prisoners through the time in prison. We also need
money to be able to prepare those who are going to
prison. Because there
is so much people convicted after the summit there are
big expenses. All money goes directly to the
prisoners. All work is done voluntarily.
Please help us!

4. MORE PROSECUTIONS?
*************************************************
71 people have been charged *in Sweden*.
The police investigation unit handling GBG (which
closed its activities in May) has earlier stated in a
national newspaper article in Dagens Nyheter (DN) that
102 people have been/are under investigation.
Included in these 102 are the 71 charged in Sweden,
the 7 Germans being
*investigated' (no charges have been lodged as of
yet). Then we have the names of 9 more persons that
are investigated, but they have yet to be prosecuted.
That brings the known total to 87 out of a possible
102.
The police have on several occassions alluded to the
fact that other European and Scandinavian citizens may
be charged. So of the 15 "unaccounted" for
investigations, at least some of these may be occuring
in (besides Germany) Denmark, Norway, Finland and
Holland (according to the DN article).
I would venture to speculate that the remaining 15 are
either individuals identified and photographed at the
Hvitfeldtska school or Järntorget and then later found
on video footage from the riots on the Avenyn or
ReclaimTheCity party at Vasaplatsen or individuals
implicated in the investigations surrounding the
so-called "information central" where eight youths
have been found guilty of coordinating and inciting
riots by sending SMS messages to activists out on the
streets. (The "information central" case has been
appealed to the Swedish High Court which has not yet
decided if it will accept the appeal or not.)
