In Switzerland a policeman has a 3% chance to be charged  <br>  <br> with violent attacks, and only 0.080% are ever found guilty. If it  <br>  <br> happens in the Aubonne case that the police are found innocent of the  <br>  <br> minimal charge of \"Unintentional Bodily Harm\", we are calling upon our  <br>  <br> friends across the world to make some kind of demonstration or action at  <br>  <br> your national Swiss Embassy. People can also make phone call complaints,  <br>  <br> or send protest emails and faxes.  <br><br> Unfortunately, there are not many of us here in Switzerland, so we hope  <br>  <br> you can find some mates there who can organise something at your  <br>  <br> national Swiss Embassy office. If you can, please send us your contact  <br>  <br> point, and we will use our small team to put the info for your local  <br>  <br> demo on our web-site, and to coordinate with others.  <br><br> We think at this point that the verdict will come Thursday or early  <br>  <br> Friday. If the cops are found innocent, we urge our friends to chose  <br>  <br> whatever time is practical for you to make the demo on Friday. We will  <br>  <br> immediately update the www.aubonnebridge.net web-site with the verdict,  <br>  <br> and the contact phone here is: +41 (0)765406395.  <br>  <br> A list of Swiss Embassy contact info for Europe is:  <br>  <br> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eda.admin.ch\/repadd\/g\/home\/emb\/kontinent1.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.eda.admin.ch\/repadd\/g\/home\/emb\/kontinent1.html<\/a>  <br><br> Please check our web-site for more info, or send a contact for your  <br>  <br> local group.  <br><br> in solidarity,  <br>  <br> Aubonne Support Group  <br><br> \n","contact":"aubonne@no-log.org","link":"http:\/\/www.aubonnebridge.net\/","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"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 \u2013 this is the first time that they have faced such charges at this judicial level in over twenty years.\r\n","numcomment":0,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2006\/02\/147536.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[]}
