Last Tuesday mobile Kitchen Le Sabot was on their way to Strasbourg to cook for lots of people, but stopped by the French border police and refused entrance in France. Directly after this the German border police stopped and searched Le Sabot and told them they were not allowed to leave Germany.
Le Sabot was suspected to be a member of the Black Block. The evidence was a crate with cooking knives which were labeled as 'weapons' by the police, tea towels which were to mask up with and a copy of the legal team information leaflet. Around 6 pm Le Sabot was allowed to leave the border police station ,with a letter saying they were not allowed to leave Germany.

Wednesday Le Sabot appealed against the decision of the German border police. While waiting for the outcome of the appeal Le Sabot joined a manifestation on the bridge between ,Kehl and Strassbourg, "armed" with a banner and a box of vegetables. The bridge was blocked for a while and the police seemed willing to let the kitchen go through, but an officer in higher rank decided to arrest people from Le Sabot because according to him Le Sabot was trying to cross the border. Also some other protesters got arrested and the blockade on the bridge ended.
After 3.5 hours people of Le Sabot were a free again, but other people were transported to a prison down the road. These people released around midnight.

One of the people found some papers in the police station with some guidelines to use against people to forbid leaving Germany.
1) You have been at the G8 in Germany and stopped by the police twice.
2) You have black clothes with you luggage
3) You have a pocket knife with you
