Brum demo in support of Austrian prisoners
Midlands Vegan Campaigns | 27.08.2008 00:02 | Animal Liberation | Repression | Birmingham
Demonstration in support of the Austrian prisoners, Friday 5 September, outside the Austrian Consulate in Birmingham, from 11.00am. This is part of a Global Day of Solidarity.
Please join us in support of the remaining nine innocent animal advocates who have been incarcerated without charge since 21 May, i.e. for MORE THAN THREE MONTHS!
The next review of the remand in custody is scheduled for 8 September.
If those in power in Austria are allowed to get away with this, it isn't just animal rights campaigners who are in danger but all groups around the world fighting for social justice, human rights and the environment, and all who value justice and compassion over corruption and profit.
Meet from 11am outside the Austrian Consulate, 5 Barlows Road, Edgbaston, Birmingham, B15 2PN. This is just a short walk from University train station. See map

Message to the International Animal Rights Movement
(...)
If I can be locked up for it, anybody can. To do animal rights campaigns in any form means being with one foot in prison already.
I can only reiterate: Folks, we are at a historic moment in time. Animal rights has become an issue that seriously challenges the system. The powerful have decided to smash it with brute force. We have to stand together firm now and fight this decisive battle. We cannot let them get away with that. We must win this one. No futher repression. No silencing of legitimate activism anymore. If we do not manage to Stopp this operation and hold these responsible acconntable, we won’t be able to be active for animal rights any longer. No further retreat. Its about all or nothing.
I count on you lot!
Martin Balluch, political prisoner, JA-Josefstadt Vienna
