80 hours of occupation of the Swiss embassy!!
We are not leaving untill our demands are being met!!!
Since the occupation of the Swiss consulate on fridaymorning, two climbers
are still hanging from the 40 meter high building to denounce the repression
at the G8 and specifically the case of Martin Shaw. They intend to stay untill
the Swiss government is willing to discuss the demands, the main one being
the opening of an independent investigation into the repressive measures
surrounding the G8.
Last Friday at ten in the morning the Swiss consulate was occupied to
protest against the repression at the G8 and the cutting of the climbing rope of
Martin Shaw by the Swiss police, resulting in a fall from 20 meters and grave
injuries.
Today, the climbers that hung themselves from the front of the Swiss
consulate are still continuing after 80 hours, despite the oven-like temperatures
(around 40 C), untill the Swiss government shows their willingness to meet our
demands:
1. The immediate release of all prisoners who remain detained and not
allowed to communicate outside since the G8 summit.
2. The complete withdrawal of criminal charges against all activists present
during the bridge action.
3. A transparant, independent public inquiry into the training and orders
and the general policing/security policy that surrounded this G8 sunnit. This
public inquiry should also contain a specific invesitigation of the police
team responsible for cutting the rope that caused the fall and subsequent
injuries to Martin Shaw and his fellow activists.
4. The Swiss government to sign a written statement committing to take full
responsibility for the acts of its police. This commitment to culpability
should include the pledge to fully compensate all injured parties present during
the bridge action, and other individuals who have incurred medical or
judicial costs as a result of violent repression by the apparantly immune Swiss
police forces.
We are asking for solidarity from everybody, so please, occupy an embassy,
write a mail or make a phone call. We are hoping that as much people will make
calls as possible, making it absolutely impossible for them to continue with
their work.
