direct action news from germany: Barricades and fires, demolished police cars, attacks on Sparkasse and police station

Leipzig 20 April 2009

A short summary of the things that happened on Friday and the actions that followed. Since the eviction leipzig does not return to peace and quiet. In the third night in a row there were barricades and fires in Leipzig.

On Friday a long before announced soli action for the squat in Erfurt took place [link...] About 200 people came to the Stö to express their solidarity. Unfortunately a huge deployment of police came as well, spreading across the whole city district. As annonced no contact to the police was made, which would have been a strange signal after this eviction, asking for permission for a demo. Also it makes no sense to walk through the streets completely encircled by such a massive deployment. [...]

[...] Later on the demo tried to get through in direction to the Kreuz, an attempt that was prevented by the police. In the following there was a lot of running back and forth, during which the police took the identities of 136 people, send away with a Platzverweis 161 and arrested 4. As this meant further attacks and harrassment of the police, especially to those in the kettle, the answer was barricades and fires in the whole district. Two police cars were demolished, a Sparkasse and the police station in Richard-Lehmann-Str. were attacked. Also the authorities are investigating whether two vehicles on fire are connected to the demo.

Since then this is the third night now that Leipzig faces the building of barricades and fires. The people are still angry about the eviction and the way the police acted on Friday. It should have been a peaceful solidarity demonstration for erfurt, what turned out into the massive deployment of the police. This is not surprizing: After the BFE [special force of the police to make socalled secure evidence arrests on demos] from Leipzig was running wild on the demo in Erfurt already on Thursday, they just kept going in Leipzig.

Direct Action News aus Deutschland

Dieser Blog will jenseits des Vermittlungstheaters der Massenmedien auf deutsch und englisch über jede direkte Aktion berichten, von der in der BRD zu hören oder zu lesen ist. Er will eine offene Datenbank zur Verfügung stellen, Ressource sein für alle konfrontativen direkten Aktionen gegen Staat und Kapital, gegen alle seine Vertreter und Vertreterinnen.
Überflüssig zu sagen, dass wir die Aktionen derjenigen dokumentieren wollen, die im andauernden sozialen Krieg beginnen zu handeln, die aktiv dafür kämpfen, die kapitalistischen Beziehungen zu überwinden, um zu einer Welt zu kommen, die befreit ist von Ausbeutung, Geschlechterrollenscheiß, Religion, Klassen und Nationen (und dem ganzen Rest, na klar). Was heißt, dass sich Nazis, ob autonom oder nicht, religiöse Freaks und ähnliche Nerds augenblicklich von hier verpissen sollten!
Wir wollen die Verbreitung von Neuigkeiten über solche Aktionen in der BRD und sonstwo in der Welt verbessern: allzu oft stellen wir einen riesigen Mangel an Wissen dieser Art fest, überall und innerhalb der gesetzten Grenzen der BRD. Wir denken, dass es wichtig ist, die Verbreitung solcher Nachrichten zu forcieren, um Leute zu inspirieren und zu zeigen, dass Widerstand vielfältig, auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen weit verbreitet und notwendig ist. Das ist hier nicht anders als im Rest der Welt. In Zeiten, in denen das Internet zentral geworden ist und oftmals andere Informationsquellen ersetzt, z.B. die selbst herausgebrachte Zeitung (weitaus spannender als das Netz...), haben wir uns entschieden, dieses Medium zu nutzen, um ein größeres Publikum zu erreichen. Die Grenzen dieses tech-no-logischen Mittels sind uns klar.
Dieser Blog ist unabhängig von jeder Gruppe oder Person, deren Aktionen hier veröffentlicht wird, und umgekehrt. Um eine Übersetzung, einen Hinweis, link, usw. beizutragen könnt ihr hier Kontakt zu uns aufnehmen:

Direct Action News from Germany

This blog is an attempt to cover, publicise and translate any reported direct action from Germany apart from the mass-media mediation game. It aims to provide an open database and resource system about any confrontative, direct action against State and Capital, as against its various agents.
Needless to say, we aim to document any action produced by those who began to act in the ongoing social war, say the ones who actively fight to overcome capitalist relationships towards a world liberated from exploitation, genderroleshit, religion, classes and nations (and all the rest of course). Which means that nazis, autonomous or not, religious-freaks and all similar nerds can get the fuck out here!
We want to improve the circulation of news about such actions in Germany as well elsewhere in the world: too often we noticed a huge lack of news of this kind reaching the rest of the world, as within the given german borders. We think is important to improve such a circulation, in order to possibly inspire people around and show that resistance is various, widespread and necessary, on different levels, here no less than in the rest of the world. In times of widespread internet usage, which often substitutes other source of informations such as self-published journal (way more interesting than internet...), we decided to make as well a use of this mean in order to reach a wider audience, but being well-aware of the inner limitations that such a tech-no-logical mean represents.
This blog is independent from any group or individual whose actions may be published here and vice-versa. To contribute with a translation, suggestion, link and so on, you can contact us here: directactionde(at)riseup.net
