#Since Nov, 18, 2014 another compa is imprisoned!
He was arrested on 18th Nov during a blockade to block harvesting of the forest. He is now accused of criminal assault in the event of the 30th October, like Basti (See: Results from 30.11).
He was brought to a custodial judge on Nov, 19. According to the police in Düren he is now transferred to JVA Aachen (prison) and is on remand until he is brought to court.
If you want to support you are welcome to do everything you want. For now, if you want to send letters to the newly imprisoned person, send them to
We meet at 11:20 a.m. at the platform of S12 in Köln-Ehrenfeld. You will recognize us by the sign „Hambacher Forst bleibt!“ (Hambach Forest remains!). In Buir we will pick up the rest at 12 a.m. at the station. Together we will visit the hole and the meadow camp afterwards. There we may enjoy vegan cake and enough time for all questions, information exchange and to have ideas and plans. If you like, bring your own food (at best vegan) to have a pleasant afternoon. If you can’t find time to join us it’s fine: we will have this tour every second sunday from now on.
100 meters distant from a new tree occupation in the cutting area of RWE a harvester has been squatted to block the ongoing fellings. Both occupations are part of the campaign “hands off the trees!” (german: “Kein Baum fällt“), that continues unabatedly in the light of last week’s repression.
We defend the forest against your violence!
Since Thursday one imprisoned comrade is awaiting trial in Aachen. Please contact us to express your solidarity via post mail.
