Police Repression of Antifa Demo in Schwerin

Saturday 2nd June

German Fascists called a demonstration on the same day as the major mobilisation against the G8 in Rostock. Antifa mobilised an anti-fascist response to the planned demo in Schwerin, north-west Germany.

Schwerin was eerily quite for a Saturday morning. German cops setup road blocks on the city's arterial roads in an attempt to filter out fascists and anti-fascists. The city's streets were deserted and the tram system was suspended. Posters showing a Nazi swasticka being chucked in a bin adorned roads around the city. There was little evidence of the "Master Race" mobilising in Schwerin but reports came in later that they had mobilised in Berlin and other parts of Germany. For the most part, local people we spoke to seemed confused about the nature of the counter demo, perhaps mirroring the somewhat confused interpretation of what really constitutes the radical left and right in Germany.

G8 Rostock Demo Rally Attacked by Police - Pics

02-06-2007 16:43

Just after half past two when the march from the station was entering the harbour a scuffle broke out at the far end of the stadium area near the exit. Several police officers were dragging a man away while people around where trying to find out his name. The situation quickly escalated as more police were sent in to back up the others arresting the man. People were pushed back and then some sticks thrown at the police who responded with pepper spray. A wave of about 50 police followed a few seconds later, charging towards the crowd and was met with a hail of sticks and stones.

The shots in this short piece would indicate some of the protestors stance
on Heritage destruction in ireland. There are many sites that have been
vandalised for profit, but the bisection of the Gabra Valley between the
Churches of Tara and Skryne is about the lowest form of abuse for
profit that most of us will ever witness.

G8 Protest Ban Exclusion Zone Re-imposed

01-06-2007 14:42


The highest court in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern has overruled the previous court decision and decided that a general demonstration ban on June 7th did not violate the constitutional rights of protesters.

A general injunction over a 40 square kilometre area had been designated by police as a demonstration-free zone due to a "state of emergency". It went well beyond the original 200m exclusion zone around the fence stretching to 6km in places.

As a result of this the so-called Star March on June 7th , which was intending to go all the way to the Kempinski hotel, will now be confined to the B105 road.
