Free Hambach Prisoners!
On November 6, we gather in front of the JVA (jail) in Cologne-Ossendorf in solidarity with the prisoners from the Hambach Forest.
On November 6, we gather in front of the JVA (jail) in Cologne-Ossendorf in solidarity with the prisoners from the Hambach Forest.
This claim of responsibility was just found at Indymedia:
Last night we sabotaged eight construction machines in the area which is to be prepared for the opencast mining.
At five excavators, two bulldozers, a road roller, and another, expensive-looking thing, all hydraulic hoses and electrical cables that were reached, were cut. The tanks and oil filters were filled with sand, all the windows smashed, and other mechanical components sabotaged. Despite all the security measures taken by RWE, this action was carried out with no problem.
It is important that the people within the prison walls know that they are not alone! And we do not want to accept peacefully when our compas are locked away. If you have long toyed with the idea of making an action against lignite mining or environmental destruction, do it now! Spontaneous demonstrations, sabotages, hanging banners – the imagination knows no boundaries. And declare your solidarity with the three prisoners in your action statement.
You can also make solidarity photos with banners, and send them to us.
But direct aid is needed as well:
“If you break our noses, we stop your trains!”
October 24, 2015 This morning about 5:30, activists of the anti-lignite-movement again stopped a coal train on the Hambach railway. The Hambach railway transports coal from the Hambach mine to nearby power plants. The action came as a direct response to the violent arrest of two Compas on Thursday. The nose of one of them was broken.
During the action, the two people chained themselves near or below the coal train on the rails. Train services on the Hambach railway was thus interrupted for at least 8 hours. The action is just (13:30) stopped by the police. Unfortunately we currently have no information to which police station the Compas were brought. The train service is interrupted as before. The police just begins to release the activists from the track.
