[Campaignforrealdemocracy] London wide call-out for Solidarity with the Climate Defendants - 08:30 Mon 15 Mar 10, Danish Embassy, London

[Tim Dalinian Jones]

*Hi Folks,*

When we are part of an International, then International Solidarity Actions
will naturally be a prime part of what we do. And since we are part of the
Climate Justice International, then I hope and trust we will do all we can
to promote and attend this International Solidarity Action at the Danish
Embassy in London, to  physically demonstrate our solidarity with our
comrades who are under attack from the Danish state.

Please forward this message to your contacts, groups, and email lists.  And
bring along your group's banner and/or a home-made placard on Monday. I
shall be covering the event in pix-&vidz for Indymedias London, UK and
Global.

*Drop the charges against the climate defendants!*
*Monday 15th of March at 8.30am prompt*

Royal Danish Embassy

*Background and statement from the CJA network*
During the climate summit in Copenhagen, about 2000 people got detained,
while they amongst thousands of other people trying to get their voices
heard and set a political agenda in the climate debate. About 20 of those
people was kept in custody for weeks by the police. Out of those, 7 people
are facing further legal proceedings and potential hard judgment. The 7
people are accused on basis of organizing legal demonstrations.

Through out the whole year of 2009, the danish government and the danish
police exercised an intense campaign of vilification against those with a
critical opinion of the highly political climate summit. The tools were
sensational scare story in the media of protesters and activists plus the
re-equipping of police with new weapons and economical resources. The
right-wing governments introduced new law legislation Lømmelpakken, that is
now being used for the furthermore criminalisation of political activities.
These actions by the Danish government prepared the way for a massive
assault on civil liberties including, preventive arrest of two thousand
people, months of phone tapping of many activists, spying and raiding
private homes and sleeping spaces, and also in general suppression of
freedom of speech and movement. We are many that are shattered by this
treatment in a so-called democracy.

We demand that this criminalization of  our movement end now! and that the
danish government drops all charges against those who are charged on basis
of organizing legal demonstrations, plus all charges against others who were
arrested during the COP15. The charges are groundless and are being used for
justifying the extreme use of power from the police and a general chilling
effect on civil society away  from protesting and demonstrating.

The first trials against the 7 charged activists starts on the 16th March
and continue until 19th. The two that are going to court, Natasha Verco and
Noah Weiss,  were both preventatively arrested and have been through 3 weeks
of police detention, unjustified isolation, now they are facing longer
sentences, higher penalties and deportation from Denmark. They are both
accused on basis of organizing legal demonstrations.

The CJA network is calling for international solidarity with the the climate
defendants. Among the ways individuals and groups can show solidarity at
home is by

Organising solidarity demonstrations to Danish embassies and consulates in
your country
Writing open letters to the Danish embassy demanding that the charges be
dropped
Doing press work publicizing the above and highlighting the cases of the
defendants
