Solidarity demonstrations and actions have taken place in several cities around the world, including Amsterdam, Berlin [more], Hamburg [more], Cologne, Goettingen, Managua, Vienna. Internet activists hacked "german-police.org" , a police bulletin board. The German consulates in Edinburgh and Amsterdam were attacked with paint. This last wave of state repression in Germany just followed a weekend of over 100 arrests in the Netherlands , where the G8 bicycle caravan was disrupted in Utrecht.

Many more demonstrations were planned and have taken place in the following days. These included one in London [Pics 1 and 2 | Video] and another one in Edinburgh [Pics], both on Friday 11th. Next G8 UK mobilisation meeting in London May 17th.

§ 129a : "forming a terrorist group".

09.05.2007 10:12

the state tries to justifice the house raids with § 129a, which is used to accuse people of "forming a terrorist group".

with these raids the state tries to smash the whole infrastructure of the anti- g 8 mobilisation.

the raids were in Berlin, Hamburg, Bremen.
