CALL TO ACTION POLICE WHO ALMOST KILLED TWO ACTIVISTS AT G8 2003 AREN'T GOING TO BE CHARGE

by Aubonne Collective Friday, Feb. 17, 2006 at 6:34 PM
aubonne@no-log.org

The court case is the result of three years of public and legal pressure, including the subject being raised in the Swiss Parliament, an appeal to the High Court, and a long campaign to have the initial judge changed due to his refusal to hold a trial. The Swiss police force are usually well-protected from charges of brutality and incompetence – this is the first time that they have faced such charges at this judicial level in over twenty years.



Call for Actions

Hi from Aubonne Support Group, G8 2003

We believe that there good chance that the police who nearly killed

Martin and Gesine at the G8 summit in 2003 will be found innocent by the

Swiss Court. In Switzerland a policeman has a 3% chance to be charged

with violent attacks, and only 0.080% are ever found guilty. If it

happens in the Aubonne case that the police are found innocent of the

minimal charge of "Unintentional Bodily Harm", we are calling upon our

friends across the world to make some kind of demonstration or action at

your national Swiss Embassy. People can also make phone call complaints,

or send protest emails and faxes.

Unfortunately, there are not many of us here in Switzerland, so we hope

you can find some mates there who can organise something at your

national Swiss Embassy office. If you can, please send us your contact

point, and we will use our small team to put the info for your local

demo on our web-site, and to coordinate with others.

We think at this point that the verdict will come Thursday or early

Friday. If the cops are found innocent, we urge our friends to chose

whatever time is practical for you to make the demo on Friday. We will

immediately update the www.aubonnebridge.net web-site with the verdict,

and the contact phone here is: +41 (0)765406395.

A list of Swiss Embassy contact info for Europe is:

Please check our web-site for more info, or send a contact for your

local group.

in solidarity,

Aubonne Support Group
