October 15th Solidarity - Remember the state terror raids

Dear friends, dear comrades,

We (www.maus-bremen.de) have heard about the political attacks against you and we are closely following the situation in Aotearoa and in particular your situation.

We were very pleased to receive your greeting message for the demonstration against repression and capitalism on 15 December 2007 in Hamburg. The message was read out at the rally preceding the demonstration and was received with much solidarity and applause.

We are wokers at a free institute, which has been affected on numerous occasions by state repression in recent years: in the context of the resistance against atomic waste transports and against atomic energy production or more recently in the context of the resistance against the G8- summit in Heilgendamm. On 9 May 2007 our offices and the flat of a coworker were raided and material seized and only a few days ago, after over 10 months, returned. The Section 129a accusations ( for participating in a terrorist group) has been dropped but the case is still ongoing on a different level.

We agree with you that this repression in Aotearoa or in the FRG cannot be understood in isolation. World-wide conditions are created, in order to be able to execute the neo-liberalisation of social conditions and capitalist globalisation unimpaired. Meanwhile, each emancipatory idea and practice toward self-determination, solidarity and liberation are suppressed, communication destroyed, the monitoring and control of all humans is perfected and the individualisation of humans is advanced.

Terrorism is an effective public accusation.

We see the repression against you and your resistance in this context.

We should fight against this development by global solidarity of all oppressed and exploited of this world. And we are delighted that the first contacts in this direction between us have been made.

We greet you and embrace you in solidarity and wish you much strength,

the workers of the ' Meßstelle für Arbeits- und UmweltSchutz Bremen'
