Bucharest: Razzia im Convergence Center !
Aaron - 02.04.2008 18:17

Anyone who tries to get out of the building is taking the risk of being arrested The manager of the space where the event is taking place forbids the access , even though the place was rented, legally .The whole area is surrounded by the Police and journalists. In the morning, someone tried to get out of the building and immediately he got surrounded by the police men. The person went back in the building to avoid getting arrested.




NOTE: This is not a collective statement, but rather an individual
eyewitness report from an indymedia journalist who was involved with the
anti-NATO mobilizations in Bucharest.

Breaking News – Mass Arrest of demonstrators in Bucharest

Bucharest, Romania, April 2, 2008

(Please see www.contra-doxa.com for more background info on the NATO
summit in Bucharest, as well as the anti-NATO convergence)

At approximately 12:30pm today, hundreds of police descended on the
convergence center of the anti-NATO gathering in Bucharest. At this
point, some organizers on the scene estimate that 46 arrests in all have
been made. All the arrests were made inside the convergence center.
There was no demonstration happening. Many of the police were wearing ski
masks, and were very hostile to journalists trying to access the scene.

The convergence center was located near the center of Bucharest, which is
hosting a NATO summit that just got underway today. It was located in an
industrial space which the anti-NATO demonstrators had legally rented.
According to the police, there were accusations that some protestors used
aggression against one of the guards near the site.

By 3:15pm, 3 large paddy wagons had already left the site, carring
demonstrators inside. Some other protestors and media were gathered on
the other side of the street, chanting to release the demonstrators.

A police spokesperson gave a few statements to the media in Romanian. (I
don't speak Romanian, but the following info was losely translated for me
by a Romanian speaker) According to the spokesperson, the police found
anti-NATO banners and some paint inside the convergence center. There was
nothing illegal. He stated that the protestors were not terrorists, and
that they had been taken to the police station to have their identities
verryfied. Among the group of people arrested were local activists as
well as foreigners. The spokesperson also stated that this police
intervention is not against the national consitution of Romania, and that
liberty of expression is guaranteed.

At this point (5:10pm Bucharest time), all the protestors are still being
detained. One organizer has stated that a few were badly beaten.

It should be noted that these arrests were made before any organized
actions against the NATO summit had taken place, and also in a context
where the authorities have stated they would not tolerate any opposition
to NATO during the summit. The local corporate media has also been in a
frenzy about "dangerous anarchists" who are going to descend on the city
and break store windows. One TV news report on Realitatea TV yesterday
morning encouraged viewers to throw rocks at any demonstrators that they
see on the streets.

Hopefully we can have a more complete report soon. Keep checking
www.contra-doxa.com or romania.indymedia.org for more info. I will also
try to upload photos and video I took.

--Aaron


The People are in the Policedepartment 10. Phone number: ++ 40 21 311 20 21 plus 24212 or 24213 or 24252.
Verhaftete wurden zuvor auch auf das Polizeirevier 11 und 23 gebracht.

Phone Number of Policedepartment 11 vor: ++ 40 21 32 17 212 and tipe 4 for going further

This situation is extremely dangerous for everyone who want to express just a disagreement about NATO. From months ago mainstream media start acampaign against anarchists and secret services started the operation against us. If something bad happens to Romanian activists we hope to some international solidarity, the situation is almost desperate because we are closely watched by the police, arrests are happening every day in Bucharest, we don’t have lawyers to help us, our e-mail address are broken, phones are intercepted and some of our fiends and comrades seems to have the opinion that the situation is not so bad…
