On 6.7.1999 the Federal Criminal Police office (Bundeskriminalamt, BKA)
searched 10 flats institute in Bremen. The accusation is "suspicion of
membership in a terrorist organisation in Berlin, Bremen, Hamburg, in the
county of Lüchow-Dannenberg (Wendland) and in the county of Lüneburg, an
enterprise of taxi drivers in Berlin-Kreuzberg and an environmaantal
(§129a)"
or "dangerous intervention in the railway transport" (§ 315). According to
press
publications of the Chief Federal Prosecutor (from 6.7.99) 9 attorneys, 100
BKA members and further 200 policemen and -women of different counties
were involved. The present accused persons were fingerprinted and
photographed, partly samples of saliva and hair (from hairbrushes) were
taken
to make DNA analysis. In one flat in Berlin disguised policemen stormed the
flat with helmets and rifled pistols. One person was taken from his work.
According to the Federal Attorney Office "intensive investigations of the
Working Group Energy of the BKA" took place before the searches. These
investigations had the results that the deeds could be traced back to a
group
of people out of the militant resistant against the CASTOR-Transports and to
a resistant group against the Olympic Games in Berlin, called AOK
(Anti-Olympic Committee).
The accusation was justified with the "pinch hook actions" against the
German Railway Company, that - according to the press publication of the
Chief Federal Prosecutor - took place on 7th october 1996 in 12 places of
Germany and on 25th february 1997 in 8 further places in the north of
Germany. Another justification is the "communiqué of autonomous groups"
concernig these deeds and further declerations of the culprits. In the
broadly
published communiqué it is said:" Aim of the attacks was to put pressure on
the German Railway Company, to stop the CASTOR-Transports on rail."
Because of the series of action at the same time and the joint declaration
the Chief Federal Prosecutor concludes that there is an organisation of
"autonomous groups", whose "cadre of leaders" they have found now in those
who are the accused ones.
There is a further accusation because of dangerous intervention in the
railway transport concerning the resistance against the Nuclear Plant
Krümmel.
The attorney insinuates that through the cut of the overhead cable, the
lives
of traindrivers and passengers were endangered. But the discussions of the
anti-nuclear-movement show clearly that such deeds were always planed and
done in a way that no human being was endangered. In the mentioned
communiqué concerning that matter they say:"With this deed we stick to the
consent to the resistance movement in the Wendland, not to endanger the life
of human beings."
There are 11 "accused persons" ("Beschuldigte") and nine who are
"effected" ("Betroffene"). The "effected"are those who are supposed to have
contact to the "accused persons" or access to their rooms.
The searches - at least the ones of the "accused persons" - took place in
all
rooms to which they - according to the attorney - had access to. So cellars,
attics, sheds, barns, cars, gardens and agricultural areas were searched.
All
searches started at the same time, at about 8 o'clock in the morning and
lasted up to 13 hours. It was allowed to speak to a lawyer. With one
exception no further telephone calls were allowed to make.
In Bremen a colleague of an office called MAUS (Messtelle für Arbeits-und
Umweltschutz), institution for the protection of work and environment, is
one
of the "accused persons". His work-place as well as all the rooms of the
institute and the whole house in which it is located, were searched.
Business-
and working documents were confiscated so that a continued existence of the
project is at risk. Here another charge was brought: "initial suspicion of
fraud
because of inexpedient use of sponsorship money." Certainly that didn't
happen by accident. Scientifically and politically the office had - amoung
other
things - accompanied and supported a campaign against nuclear transports
through Bremen and Bremerhaven (1997, 1998). That campaign got a further
confirmation because of the "Castor-scandal".
According to our present knowledge during the search the following things
were confiscated (whereas the different searches were done in variable
ways):
PCs and data carriers (floppy discs, CDs), video films, photos, diaries,
adress-, notebooks, material, people worked with (articles and further texts
that had nothing to do with the accused facts), medical documents and
therapy papers about the own treatments, documents about patients, strategy
discussions about uranium-, CASTOR-transports and anti-nuclear resistance.
Documents of bank accounts, receipts, contracts e.g., vices, pipe wrenches,
pin cutters, spanners, rails, wireless scanners, signal vests, maps, type
writers, type bars, samples of handwritings and type writings, hairbrushes
and
hemp plants. On top cigarette stubs were confiscated, because according to
the search decicion a stubed out cigarette (make Juwel) was found on a
concrete sleeper in the rail bed, 13,20m away from a place near Potsdam
where a pinch was said to be hung up.
Experience shows that a second wave of searches can take place. We
should be prepared for it!
In our opinion that action of the BKA is obviously linked to the energy
talks
between the government and the atomic industry.
In the run up of the political and practical preparations for further
nuclear
transports the resistance is to be criminalized, intimidated, divided into
"peaceful" and "violent" and is supposed to be weakened. That has an
importance especially now:
Because the green party and the SPD that have taken over
the power now have developed from being critics to more and
more supporters of the atomic industry.
Because soon again nuclear transports will take place from
the nuclear plants to the reprocessing plants LaHague (F)
and Sellafield(GB), and from there to Gorleben and Ahaus,
to the so called "Zwischenlager" ("interim" store room), or
from the nuclear plants to the "Zwischenlager".
Because nearly every day there are nuclear transports
taking place in Germany, for example with uranium
hexafluorid to produce fuel assemblies
Concluding we want to point out:
We are the ones who determine the form of resistance against the
inhumane nuclear plants we use. We don't allow the representatives
of the atomic industry and their governmental supporters to tell us
what to do.
It doesn't matter which "colour-combination" in Berlin is in power:
we will continue to fight against nuclear plants until all of them are
closed down!
We know: they aim towards all of us - but we don't let them
intimidate nor divide us. Decisive for changes have always been the
pressure we could produce from our side.
Immediate return of all confiscated things!
Abandoning of all proceedings against opponents of nuclear power!
Immediate closure of all nuclear plants!
