Autriche : appel à journée d'action (10 juin)
Le niveau d'expression publique contre la répression anti-animalistes en Autriche est remarquable, ainsi le travail sous-jacent des militants qui oeuvrent à ce qu'il y ait en permanence des événements à ce sujet.
Se reporter au message ci-dessous pour le détail : prise de position du président d'Amnesty international Autriche, d'un célèbre acteur allemand, conférence de presse des Verts et de Greenpeace, manifestations, conférences, colloques...
Nombreux échos dans la presse, tous favorables.
Aujourd'hui, les militants autrichiens demandent au reste du monde s'il serait possible d'organiser une journée internationale de solidarité le 10 juin, juste avant que le ministère de la justice décide d'inculper ou pas des personnes.
Il s'agirait de manifester devant des ambassades et consulats d'Autriche à l'étranger.

Objet : [Freedom_for_ Austrian_ Activists] Austria: anti-repression work in full swing! + international day of solidarity demos
On 10th june we suggest an international day of protests outside austrian embassies worldwide!
Please do let us know if you could imagine participating!
This must be just before the Minister of justice is deciding whether to press charges or not!
The story is really kicking off now!
The media are full with stories on the case and absolutely all stories are in favour of the activists and against repression.
Today, too, for example the daily newspaper "Standard" ran a long article on the repression and police breaking the law and a second long article on an interview with Martin B. and all totally supportive and cool!
