On May 21, 2008 the repression against animal rights activists reached a new high: numerous raids, 10 arrests and three and a half months of pre-trial detention. There were numerous solidarity actions, yet the investigations into the activists continued. Starting on March 2, 2010 thirteen activists will stand trial in Wiener Neustadt in Lower Austria. They are charged with Forming/Being Members of a Criminal Organisation according to §278a of the Austrian Penal Code. Thereby they all face 6 months to 5 years jail time.
Smash § 278ff
Smash § 278ff
Around the opening day of the trial there are actions planned to support the defendants. On the one hand the actions focus on direct solidarity, on the other hand they protest against a political tendency towards surveilling and eventually criminalising revolutionary and critical structures. The actions were kicked off by 800 activists with a protest on Saturday, February 27, 2010 in Vienna. There is a call out for a global day of action on the opening trial date, March 2. Further actions are expected during the (minimum) 32 trial dates in Wiener Neustadt.
