March 2 2010 – Opening hearing in §278 proceedings

An international day of action has been called to mark the commencement of the show trial against ten Austrian animal rights activists, to increase the public pressure on the Austrian authorities and to express solidarity with the activists affected. For this day, March 2nd, actions are planned across the world. We call on all of you to organise as many actions as possible in front of Austrian embassies, consulates or other diplomatic missions. Additionally, demonstrations are to take place in Vienna on February 27 and in Wiener Neustadt on the day of the trials opening hearing on March 2nd.

Please send all action statements and photographs of your activities to  antirep278a@riseup.net
