PROTEST in Budapest -solidarity with the imprisoned comrades in Belgrade

On 29th of September 2009, a protest was held in front of the Serbian embassy in Budapest.
The coalition of anarchist movements of Budapest, together with the activists from Croatia, Slovenia, Ukraine and Slovakia stated their support for the imprisoned anarcho-syndicalists in Belgrade.
The protest should have started at 6:30 PM, but in front of the embassy at that time a group of about 20 football hooligans was waiting, with flags and scarfs.
Around 30 activists gathered a bit later, so the protest ended without incidents.
Two transparents were placed on the fence of the embassy, around 200 of flayers were given to the public and the statement of solidarity was glued all over the embassy's panels.
Solidarity actions will be continued.

Statement of support for ASI comrades in Belgrade



On September the 4th, five* political activists were arrested in Belgrade on trumped up charges. The five, Tadej Kurepa, Ivan Vulović, Sanja Dojkić, Ratibor Trivunac and Nikola Mitrović, are activists in or associates of the Anarcho-Syndicalist Initiative (ASI), the Serbian section of the International Workers’ Association (IWA). (* The sixth person sought by police, Ivan Savić, was also arrested some days later.)

The arrests are allegedly related to a direct action which took place at the Greek Embassy on Aug. 25. Negligible damage was done; a crack in one window, a tiny burn mark on the facade and a circled A graffiti on the embassy as an act of symbolic solidarity with Thodoros Iliopoulos. The prosecutor however imagines this as an act of “international terrorism” and would like to charge our comrades with such. If the state allows such charges to be pressed, they could be facing 3-15 years in prison.

Since then activists were held in prison waiting for the trial. The phones of other activists are being tapped at this moment and some of the associates of ASI are followed by the police 12h per day. During last 25 days numerous protests took place all over the world.

The coalition of anarchist movements of Budapest against the political repression demands immediate release of the imprisoned comrades from Belgrade. With this act of support for the anarcho-syndicalists, we are clearly stating:

The imprisonment of one comrade is the imprisonment of us all!

STOP THE REPRESSION! Budapest, 29.09.2009



Szeptember 4-én öt politikai aktivistát letartóztattak Belgrádban, koholt vádak alapján. Ez az öt ember, Tadej Kurepa, Ivan Vulović, Sanja Dojkić, Ratibor Trivunac és Nikola Mitrović, annak az Anarcho-Szindikalista Kezdeményezésnek (ASI) a tagjai illetve aktivistái, ami a Nemzetközi Munkás Szövetkezet szerb tagozata. Pár nappal késõbb a rendõrség letartóztatta a hatodik körözött személyt, Ivan Savić-ot is.

A letartóztatások állítólag az augusztus 25-én a görög nagykövetség elõtt lezajlott direkt akcióhoz köthetõek. Elhanyagolható volt a károkozás: egy repedt ablak, kisméretû égésnyom a homlokzaton, és a Thodoros Iliopulos-szal való szolidaritás szimbólumaként egy bekarikázott A betû a nagykövetség falára festve. A vád szerint ez "nemzetközi terrorcselekmény" és elvtársainkat ezért is vonnák felelõsségre. Amennyiben az állam jóváhagyja ezt a vádat, 3-15 év börtönbüntetésre számíthatnak.

Azóta is fogva tartják a tárgyalásukat váró aktivistákat. Más aktivisták telefonjait ebben a pillanatban is lehallgatják, az ASI munkatársait pedig napi 12 órában rendõrök figyelik. Az elmúlt 25 nap során világszerte számos tiltakozást tartottak.

A budapesti Anarchista Mozgalmak Koalíciója a Politikai Elnyomás
Ellen követeli a Belgrádban bebörtönzött elvtársak azonnali szabadon bocsátását. Az anarcho-szindikalistákat támogatva egyértelmûen kimondjuk:

Egyetlen elvtárs bebörtönzése mindannyiunk bebörtönzése!

LEGYEN VÉGE AZ ELNYOMÁSNAK!
