This Wednesday, the 4th of july 2018 the activist Robin will stand trial on an assault case at the Hamburg-Mitte district court. How the police intends to construct and justify these accusations remains unclear.The first court session was cancelled due to a formal error in the penalty order. The entire section describing the supposed criminal act was missing. This shows how the court is overstrained by the number of lawsuits they‘re trying to push through.call_for_support_trial
One year after the G20 protests in Hamburg numerous people face repression because they took part in the protests against the inhuman G20 politics and their absurd summit.
Despite all the agitation, before during and after the summit, neither the media nor the state security agencies succeeded in dividing us. We won‘t let them daunt us, belittle us, no matter their repression. They will fail to stop us.
We will not let them hinder us from fighting for our ideals. The summit is over, but our fight for a better world without war, exploitation, injustice, oppression and prisons continues.
With the antidemocratic, authoritarian eagerness for persecution, the state tries to present more and more convicted people, no matter the price. The massive police presence, state violence and surveillance before and during the summit was only the beginning. People are incarcerated since the protests and the police announced that they want to persecute activists with 3000 lawsuits.
We now need to stick together and show our solidarity. They persecute a few, but they mean all of us. This should be more than a slogan. When we face their repression together and support each other at court, in prison and in daily life, their threats loose their effect and we become more capable of acting. Therefore we‘re looking forward to solidary, colorful and deescalative trial support.
The trial will take place at Amtsgericht Mitte at 13:30 pm, Sievekingplatz 3 (Strafjustizgebäude), Sitzungssaal (room) 186 / ground floor. An entry control was announced and cell phones will be taken from you. As always people that joined the protests and have not been identified and people with an active arrest warrant should not come to court.
Our solidarity against their repression!
This morning, o 19th of June, the planned beginning of the trial against activist R. on 20th of June 2018 was cancelled due to a formal error in the penalty order. The entire section describing the supposed criminal act was missing. This shows how the court is overstrained by the number of lawsuits they‘re trying to push through.
With the trial‘s beginning being cancelled for now, the courts strategy to blindside R. failed.
The court set a trial date very soon, ignored that the lawyer has no time at the trial date by dismissing an application to change the date, did not give real access to the court files by only allowing access in Hamburg – to a lawyer far away in Göttingen. In the end this led to having no lawyer and no clue whats in the court files four days before the trial. Luckily they did not get through with their strategy.
There will be no trial this week but they might send a new penalty order with a new trial date. If that happens the info will be published here.
Solidarity not penalty orders!
Freedom for all G20 prisoners!

This Wednesday, the 20th June 2018 the activist R. will stand trial on an assault case at the Hamburg-Mitte district court. How the police intends to construct and justify these accusations remains unclear.
Eleven months after the G20 protests in Hamburg numerous people face repression because they took part in the protests against the inhuman G20 politics and their absurd summit.
Despite all the agitation, before during and after the summit, neither the media nor the state security agencies succeeded in dividing us. We won‘t let them daunt us, belittle us, no matter their repression. They will fail to stop us.
We will not let them hinder us from fighting for our ideals. The summit is over, but our fight for a better world without war, exploitation, injustice, oppression and prisons continues.

We, as the collective Berlin Migrant Strikers, have participated in the protests against the G-20 in Hamburg. Hundreds of thousands of people gained together and took the streets, demonstrating against the policies of the global governance and the militarization of the rebel city of Hamburg. During those three days, the violence of the German police reached a new peak of brutality. Many activists were beaten without reason during allowed demonstrations, the special corps has been used to retake controls of entire neiborough, and many fundamental collective and individual rights were suspended. Another side of the repression were the numerous arrests, carried out without any proves, in many case with a pure preventional goal. All of us have been arrested too, only because we spoke Italian and we could be dangerous “riot-tourists”. For many hours we stayed imprisoned in containers without windows or beds, sleeping on the floor.. Fortunately, all of you were released in the end, but many other comrades are still under trial, used as scapegoats and subjected to a political justice seeking for revenge. The German police has started a criminalization campaign often through further violations of indiviual rights, publishing pictures of “suspected people”. We want to show our solidarity and support the imprisoned militants. In the same week when the network United we Stand is organizing solidarity events for the G20-prisoners, we invite you on 26th of January at 22.00 in the Tommy House to a Soly-Rap party, putting together different militant artist standing up against the repression. The event will support both the activity of our collective and the campaigns helping the activists still in prisons or under trial. Come and fight with us.
Today it’s Hamburg, yesterday it was Genoa, before it was Seattle – we fight and we will fight together. United we stand!

According to the special committee investigations are going on against 75 accused people who’s names are known and against 26 unknown persons. One of the effected people (Fabio) is on trial at the moment.
No one has been arrested during the raids. Cops confiscated material that supposed to proof participation and planning of the action in trials to come. They mostly took data carrier like phones, laptops and storage media. For the media the cops also presented during their press conference, alleged ‘weapons’ that where secured during raids in the county of Baden-Württemberg. This supposed to underline the dangerousness of those raided. While most of this weapons are different forms of OC sprays, saws, knifes and sticker.
First statements of solidarity from a variety of groups went out as well as some demonstrations. Press release of the ‘Interventionistische Linke’ | statement of the left center Stuttgart (that had been raided) | statement of the ‘Rote Hilfe’
As a reaction to the raids a manifestation took place in Stuttgart today, the 5th of December at 18 o’clock at Rotebühlplatz:
After the cops raided houses of activists through out Germany this morning, we held a rally early this evening in solidarity with the effected comrades. The attack against us and our left center is an agitated campaign against the anti g20 protests initiated by the cops together with the media.
After it became more and more clear that the cops condoned that people could have died at Rondenbarg, they try to defend their actions.
With this legally unannounced and publicly spread rally in the city center we want to offer some leftist counter publicity and publicly show solidarity with the effected of the raids. After the rally a spontaneous demonstration formed through out the ‘zone prohibited for demonstration’, the biggest shopping street in Stuttgart. Furthermore a sign of self-determination was set with glowing Bengal lights. Before the cops could stop the demo it dispersed stress-free.
In Hamburg, today on the 5th of December, a demonstration started at 20:15 from Grüner Jäger. Up to 500 people demonstrated loudly around Schanzen-district. The repression was rejected together, spontaneously and broad.
A couple of banners were dropped in solidarity in Flensburg.
Also on the 6th of December there will be demonstrations and rallies against the raids:
- Berlin, 19 o’clock at Kottbusser Tor, demonstration
- Freiburg, 18 o’clock Bertoldsbrunnen/Innenstadt, rally
It hit some this time, but they meant us all! Our solidarity against their repression!
United we Stand!
]]>On 16th October the trial against our Italian comrade Fabio begins, who has been in custody since the G20 summit. Together with the campaign #UnitedWeStand, we call for rallies on the days of the trial (16.10., 17.10., 7.11.) at the local court in Hamburg-Altona. We want to express our solidarity with Fabio and shout out to him: Thank you for coming to Hamburg to stand up with all of us against the madness of the world! There is no need for regret. They locked you up and pressed charges against you individually, but this is aimed at all of us!The trial against Fabio shows particularly clearly that all the G20 trials are not about justice, but about deterrence and political prejudice. During the review of custody, the higher regional court in Hamburg attested Fabio, who is only 18 years old, in their finest Nazi manner as having “destructive tendencies” and a “substantial deficiency of social and educational competence”.
Fabio was arrested in the morning of the 7th July at Rondenbarg, where excessive police brutality caused most of the severe injuries against activists during the protests. A video of the event exposes the police’s account of events – as in many other cases too – as a mixture of exaggerations, lies and propaganda.
Let’s join the rallies and protests on Monday 16th and on Tuesday 17th October at 8.30am in front of the local court in Hamburg-Altona, Max-Brauer-Allee 91, and demand the acquittal and immediate freedom of Fabio and all the other G20 prisoners. Because we all have #schaedlicheNeigungen (destructive tendencies). We all resist the world of the G20, a world of exploitation, wars, ecological devastation and racist isolation!
#FreeFabio

We will meet again to visit our comrades, friends and brothers who are being held at the prison site JVA Billwerder on Sunday the 5th of November . Four months after the disgusting G20 summit took place in Hamburg during which the police acted unbelievably brutal people are still locked up inside the prison, which for us became a symbol of power and injustice.
This weekend we will have a lot of transnational guests and we want to come all together to stand side by side with our brothers who are held inside this terrible place. Come with us and bring along cakes and cookies, sweets and strong voices, speeches and greetings. The Free-You-All-Sound-System will be with us again. If you have friends inside the prison ask them what they would like to listen to and tell us their music wishes so we can play them really loud!

Liberi Tutti Subito!
