Freedom for all prisoners!<\/strong><\/center><\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, February 9th 2008 Natalja was arrested during the yearly demonstration against the NATO-Security-Conference in Munich (Germany). They accused her of resisting violently against police measures. A warrant was issued against her and since then she is in Munich behind bars.<br \/>\nNatalja already was arrested during the G8-summit at summer 2007 in Germany and was sentenced to ten months of imprisonment. Furthermore she has a third trial because of being arrested at a demonstration at may 1th at the same year.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n<em>\u201eFor me, the imprisonment started with a kind of shock which slowly vanished. It is replaced by a condition of permanent grief in the background covered by a lot of tiredness, boredom and exhaustion.\u201c<\/em> (Natalja)<\/p>\n<p>On March 30th 2008 the trial against Natalja at the district court of Munich took place. She got five months of imprisonment without probation. (Natalja already got a total penalty of eleven months in Rostock because of the G8-protest and resistance on may 1st 2007, besides she got two months of suspended sentence because of antifascist resistance in Gr\u00e4fenberg, which she has to serve now, too). Meanwhile, her arrest was shortened by 28 days.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201eHowever I request \u2013 it should not sound snooty \u2013 to formulate all this a bit combative \/ defiant \/ \u201amore than ever\u2018, so that national intimidation propaganda is not spread inadvertently thereby. Nobody should be discouraged and certainly not \u201abrainwashed\u2018 on my account.\u201c<\/em> (Natalja)<\/p>\n<p>The imprisonment was shaped by repression and harassment. Apart from the attempt of \u201einfiltrating\u201c a plain-clothes policewomen in her cell, Natalja was refused to get her post because it had political contents. On December 11th 2008 she was forced to sample a DNA-assay by using violence.<br \/>\nOut of her imprisonment Natalja took part in different demonstrations and meetings like the demonstration under the slogan \u201eThe system is criminal and not the resistance!\u201c by speech contributions and texts.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201eThe prison is said to intimidate, reeducate, criminalise and exclude\u2026 \u2013 And it presents itself each day, how unfair, inhuman, discriminating and destructive the ruling system is [\u2026]<br \/>\nDid the prison-system would function only one day long without the forced under-lowest work of the prisoners in the institutes?<br \/>\nWould prisons be maintained without the command and \u2013 obedience hierarchy of the execution people, by whom the repression of the prisoners is practically converted by the state daily?<br \/>\nDid a fair, free society would need prisons at all as instrument of class rule and as means, in order to divide exploited social classes by criminalization?<br \/>\nThe experience of repression may also be horrible, but the experience of solidarity is much impressing and encouraging! Both encourages me in the conviction: Resistance against the ruling system is necessary. Nevertheless nothing shows as clearly as the coveringness, brutality and presumptuous increase of national repression that the system obviously has much fear before the social movement and active entering against fascism, racism and war!\u201c<\/em> (Natalja)<\/p>\n<p>June 6th 2009 is a day Natalja surely longs for and not only she herself\u2026 Because on this day Natalja will finally released.<br \/>\nUp to then it is still a long time. The fights in the prisons must further be developed and supported. Masshungerstrikes in the prisons in Europe and an organizing of antiprison-structures outside are a beginning.<br \/>\nOn weekend from February 6th until 8th days of action in solidarity with Natalja and all prisoners in struggle will take place. It is the weekend of the resistance against the NATO-war-conference (officially called Security-Conference), the weekend when Natalja was arrested nearly one year ago.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201eThis is a meeting of political leaders, military representatives and members of the military lobby, who follows the invitation of the Quandt-Foundation. The Quandt family is the principal part owner of the BMW company, which manufactures motor vehicles, but also military equipment like vehicles and weapons. (The roots for their prosperity and influence are the chemical industry \u2013 including the exploitation of prisoners in the concentration camps during the 2nd World War). In spite of the \u201aprivate\u2018 \/ \u201acommercial\u2018 background of the conference, the people enjoy \u201ethe honour\u201c of a status as official guests of the Federal Republic of Germany. The German army (Bundeswehr) is responsible for the scene\u2026 \u201c<\/em> (Natalja)<\/p>\n<p>For all those who cannot participate in the protests against the Securityconference and the locally (Munich) organized actions in solidarity with Natalja and all prisoners in struggle, there is a calling for a decentralized weekend of action.<br \/>\nLet us organize in order to refuse the state including its prisons, cops, laws and military and to fight for a world without exploitation and oppression in solidarity with Natalja and all prisoners in struggle!<\/p>\n<p><center><strong>Freedom for Natalja and all prisoners!
