Wave of Repression against anti-G8 structures

Since this morning 8 o'clock a german wide wave of raids against the leftist strcutures takes place. Affected are projects and private persons which are engaged against the G8 Summit – or to be held as such.

In Berlin are at least 7 houses and office rooms affected, amongst them 2 offices in "Bethanien" as well the "Fusion" shop in the Skalitzer Street. The place where the antifashist left Berlin and the network "interventionistische Linke" organize themselves. As well afflicted is the bookshop in "Mehringhof" and the offices of scores of alternative media projects in the "Lausitzer" Street.

Particularly attention the BKA (Federal criminal Police Office) pays to the Server so36.net. Many leftist and alternative Projects have their Web pages, mailinglists and mailadresses located there. With that one tries to disturb the structure of communication of the Anti G8 movement massivly.

In Hamburg the repressions affect the "Rote Flora" and diverse house projects. Also in the Berlin hinterland raids take place. As well raids are alert from Bremen.

The adudication of search is exposed for § 129a: "formation of a terrorist coalition to avert the G8".

The crass assortment of leftist house projects and infrastructure makes clear that the enquiries are taken as false pretences to randomly act against the left mobilization. "Pretences of enquiry might be diverse damages to property which have been comitted in relation to the G8", assumes the campinski press group. In the same relation the Kampinski Hotel has been attacked with paintballs.

The latitude of a §129a operation are used to collect datas and beyound by all means the effect of intimidation. Merely 2% of all cases according on §129a result in condemnation.

Neverthelss: "who invites the G8 Summit, invites also the protests!", announced mister Jobst of the "Bethanien" office in Berlin. "All trials of criminalizatin won´t change the fact, that we will take the G8 as occasion to give a highlight to the injustice on the world."

The repression of the BKA (Federal criminal Police Office) doesn´t appear surprisingly. The left and radical left resistance against the G8 has taken dimensions the Police can´t handle anymore. "Until now the Police has only tried to split the Resistance and create a phantom of the army of chaots via Media", explains Jobst.

"Noticable is that the raids are aginst all spectra of the resistance, which don´t adress any requirements to the G8, but dismisses the G8 as institution entirely." says a spokeswoman of the "Gipfelsoli" info group.
