Speak up against the state repression

Austria Solidarity: An International Group of Organisations And Individuals Concerned About Human Rights in Austria On May 21 2008 masked and armed officers of the Austrian elite squad WEGA broke into homes and offices of NGO workers and organisations at the crack of dawn. Since that day, 10 people arrested in the raids have been detained in remand custody without being charged for specific wrongdoings.

UPDATE: 02 September, 2008
The news we've been waiting to hear for the last 3 months - Christof, Elmar, Felix, Jan, Jürgen, Kevin, Leo, Martin and Sabine - the remaining 9 Austrian activists have finally been set free!

Story in German available here - we are still working on getting some more info in English available to all.

We are all overwhelmed and extremely pleased and wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your kind support over the last couple of months. Every letter, petition and demo you participated in has had a direct impact on the campaign to demand justice for the TEN and is greatly appreciated! Many thanks!

We will no doubt be in touch with more info, in the meantime if you organised a demo on the next Global Solidarity Day (this Friday, 5th September) we hope there's enough time for you to inform others as well.
