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.

i think it was obvious that this was going to happen, but let it not deter us from showing these filthy stink pigs and the rest of the world "we will not stand for this". ongoing oppression across the planet must stop!

keep organising and keep resisting!
good luck!

suprised. There has been a huge effort made in Germany not to allow more militant protestors to be seprated off from others. The block G8 call has been signed by a wide range of groups as a means of preventing this sort of repression and also to avoid the outflanking that Bono and Geldoff's rpo-G8 stance did to us in Scotland.

This is a really huge escalation and a big risk for the German state. I hope they've overstreched themselves and this provokes an increase in demonstration size as people refuse this intimidation and come out to protect the right to protest.

surprised?

09.05.2007 17:05

i am surprised that everyone didnt expect this from the german goverment. to me it was obviouse that they would do this. it doesnt matter how many disagree with the g8, only that they do! it has been evident for years that goverments have no interest in what "the people" want, only in what is best for profit! but we all know this so i wont blabber on. part of organising is anticapating what they will do next. and we have to ready for this.

we should expect more things like this to happen. on the borders, in the cities, where ever we are they will be there trying to stop us. i really hope that this does lead to an increase in the numbers in germany next month, because for it to have the opposite effect would be a real shame!

please expect trouble getting into germany because it will happen. as we have already seen with the arrests in the netherlands, this is a coordinated attempt by all goverments with interest in the g8 to stop us letting the cat out of the bag.

this is not going to be easy! they will try and stop us!

again, good luck!
