The Belgrade 6 charged with "international terrorism" NL/ENG
Free the Belgrade 6! - 05.11.2009 13:51

Belgrade ASI yesterday informed the IWA sections, that the Belgrade 6 have now officialy been charged with "International terrorism" and their remand been extended by another –the third– month. This is terrible news and we must do all it can to suport our comrades. We hope there will be more detailed information within the next few days.







De 6 anarcho-syndicalisten uit Belgrado, sinds 5 september gearresteerd en gevangen gehouden, worden vervolgd voor internationaal terrorisme. Ze worden bedreigd met gevangenisstraffen van 15 jaar. Ze worden er van beschuldigd de schrijvers te zijn van graffiti die op 25 augustus op de Griekse ambassade is geverfd, en van het gooien van een brandbom, die alleen een raam beschadigde. Over het feit dat de kameraden ontkennen dat ze iets te maken hebben met deze gebeurtenissen maakt de Servische staat zich geen zorgen, in diens obsessie om iemand schuldig te verklaren. Inderdaad, van Parijs tot Belgrado, lijkt de internationale politie veel op elkaar. Ze moeten de zelfde instructeurs hebben gehad.

Dus, de kameraden worden aangeklaagd voor internationaal terrorisme. In de nabije toekomst betekent dit dat ze in ieder geval enkele maanden gevangen zullen blijven zonder vergunning voor bezoek.

Deze kameraden die nog vrij zijn proberen na te gaan of er een manier is om tegen het besluit in beroep te gaan. Verdere informatie zal volgen.

Ondertussen is het slechtst mogelijke scenario nu gebeurd. De strijd zal lang en moeilijk zijn en deze kameraden zullen al onze steun nodig hebben.

De kosten voor advocaten zullen duidelijk extreem hoog zijn, dus iedereen die financieel wenst bij te dragen aan solidariteit inspanningen kan een cheque sturen naar de CNT AIT, met de woorden "Solidarite Belgrade" op de achterkant, naar het volgende adres:

CNT AIT
108 rue Damremont
75018 Parijs

The Belgrade 6 charged with "international terrorism"

The 6 anarcho-syndicalists from Belgrade, arrested and held in confinement since 5th
September last, are to be tried for international terrorism. They face 15 years in prison.
They are accused of being the authors of graffiti painted on the Greek embassy last 25th August, and of having thrown a petrol bomb which only damaged a window. The fact that the comrades deny that they had anything to do with these events clearly does not worry the Serbian State in its obsession to find someone guilty. Indeed, from Paris to Belgrade, the international police are all very much alike... They must have had the same instructors... So, the comrades are being charged with international terrorism. In the near future, this means they will remain incommunicado in jail for at leastseveral months.

Those comrades who are still free are trying to see if there is any way to appeal the decision. Further information will follow.

Meanwhile, the worst case scenario has now happened. The battle will be long and difficult and these comrades will need all our support.

Lawyers' fees will obviously be extremely high, so anyone who wishes to contribute financially to solidarity efforts can send a cheque made out to the CNT AIT, with the words "Solidarité Belgrade" on the back, to the following address:

CNT AIT
108 rue Damrémont
75018 PARIS

ABOUT THE CASE

On Saturday, Sept. 4, five* political activists were arrested in Belgrade on trumped up charges. The five, Tadej Kurepa, Ivan Vulović, Sanja Dojkić, Ratibor Trivunac and Nikola Mitrovic, are activists in or associates of the Anarcho-Syndicalist Initiative, the Serbian section of the International Workers’ Association (IWA). (* The sixth person sought by police, Ivan Savic, 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 a 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.

As of today (Oct.11), no charges have been pressed yet against the comrades. Yet they have been in remand over one month and may be kept as long as six months still without charges. In the meanwhile, they are not allowed contact with the outside world.

In the first week of Oct., the prosecutor asked the judge for permission to keep the Belgrade six locked up for 2 more months during the investigative phase. The judge agreed to one more month. It is not clear whether this may be extended. Charges must be pressed within 7 days of closing the investigation but it is not clear when this should happen.

Members of ASI have clearly and publically declared that they knew nothing of the action, which was claimed by a group nobody has heard of, Crni Ilja.

It is quite clear that the main reason the activists from ASI have been arrested in political. In addition, we may see that the government is quite hypocritical and selective about who they repress; as members of ASI pointed out, when a much more serious incident occurred at the American Embassy a year earlier, the government did not bother to start a campaign of repression.

Since the arrest of the comrades, protests have taken play in many parts of the world. Thousands of people have sent letters of protest to the Serbian government. Everybody is united in demanding their release.

Please send us information about your demos, protests or articles on the case!

----------

Over de zaak:
De vijf, Tadej Kurep, Ivan Vulović, Sanja Dojkić, Ratibor Trivunac en Nikola Mitrovic, zijn activisten of aanhangers van Anarcho-Syndicalistisch Initiatief (ASI), de Servische sectie de Internationale Arbeidersassociatie (IWA-AIT, of ‘de anarchistische tak van de Eerste Internationale’). Ratibor is bovendien secretaris van de IWA-AIT.

Justitie zegt na dagenlang zwijgen dat de arrestanten betrokken zijn bij de aanslag op de Griekse Ambassade, die plaats vond op 25 Augustus. Er was een molotovcocktail naar de ambassade geworpen, waardoor een ruit een barst kreeg en een kleine brandplek in de muur ontstond. Ook stonden er graffiti op de muur. De aanslag werd opgeëist door “Zwarte Elias”, een onbekende groep, die zich solidair verklaarde met de Griekse honger­staker Thodoros Iliopoulos, een willekeurig gearresteerde anarchist die tijdens de opstanden in decem­ber in Athene was opgepakt en zonder enige tenlastelegging was vastgehouden. De procureur-generaal klaagt onze kameraden nu aan voor „internationaal terrorisme“. Dat kan leiden tot vonnissen van drie tot vijftien jaar.

De arrestanten ontkennen absoluut ook maar iets te weten van die groep en de aanslag en geloven dit een poging is om de groeiende anarchistische beweging te criminaliseren. Anarchosyndicalisten plegen volgens de ASI geen individuele aanslagen, maar vertrouwen op de collectieve acties van de massa’s, die er in Servië zeker zijn en ook voor hun vrijheden en rechten willen opkomen. Voor de zoveelste maal wordt de organisatie van ware belangenstrijd van de arbeiders door schijnprocessen onderdrukt.
