Press Release from the Legal Defense.
Around 7:00 am on Wednesday May 21 members of the Viennese elite police force (WEGA) stormed several apartments in Vienna. Some of the residents were woken up in their beds with guns drawn on them. A total of twenty-three (23) apartments, houses and offices were searches in Vienna, Lower Austria, Styria and Tirol.
In many of the apartments the WEGA kicked in the doors. The officers stormed the apartments like in bad Hollywood movies. Only after the residents had been intimidated, "secured" on the wall and/or put in handcuffs did the police start the searches.
The grounds for the searches was the accusation Formation of a Criminal Organization according to law 278a of the criminal code. There were arrest warrants for 10 of the people targeted by the searches. The basis of the arrest warrants was the accusation of Danger of the Destruction of Evidence (because, for example, the targeted people communicated via encrypted e-mails) as well as Danger of Committing a Crime (partially because the targeted people have been active in the animal rights scene for a long time). Both lines of argumentation stand in blatant opposition to the presumption of innocence. A criminal organization is completely arbitrarily constructed to be made responsible for all unsolved criminal offenses of the last few years. The accusations are not substantiated by any evidence; on the contrary - the authorities apparently hope to find evidence which confirms their suspicions through the house searches. Up til now and also in the future the suspicion of Forming a Criminal Organization can not be corroborated either by evidence or vague assumptions.
The targeted persons were brought directly from their apartments to the police detention center at Rossauer Lande and will be brought before a custodial judge within 48 hours. (Update: the targeted persons are being remanded to Wiener Neustadt, where they will face the above-mentioned custodial judge.) During the house searches a large part of the targeted persons were denied the ability to call a person of their confidence or legal representatives. Friends who wanted to observe the legality of the actions were also denied the possibility to speak to the targeted persons.
The actions of the authorities were out of proportion. The early morning storming of the apartments by masked WEGA officers with drawn weapons can only be described as completely excessive.
It remains unclear what the specific motive for these operations was. It can be assumed that the time and realization of these operations have a political background. In any case unpopular political actions are being criminalized and made impossible. Should this wave of repression which obviously was decreed from those in power remain unquestioned, this wave will certainly hit other forms of resistance and areas of activism.
The repression of leftist structures reached a new high point today with the wave of house searches and arrests. House searches by masked WEGA officers who kick down doors and and wake sleeping persons with drawn weapons have not been employed against the radical left in the past several years. The last time that a similar house search was made was after the Opera Ball Protest in 2001 directed against the EKH (a squat and autonomous center in Vienna).
This sort of action from the officials does not only ignite fear in the targeted persons. Friends and other activists are intended to be frightened by such actions as well. The excessive and sometimes brutal police operations try to communicate that resistance is not worth it. We can not allow ourselves to be isolated from one another. Together we can talk about our fears and develop strategies for dealing with them.
We are asking for solidarity for those targeted by the wave of repression. It does not matter if you are vegan, feminist, antifascist, against surveillance, atomic energy or police brutality - we are all targeted, even if only a few are directly affected at the moment!
Organize benefit parties, donate money for the legal help, network with each other, inform yourself about your rights, learn about and use your right to remain silent and learn about your rights in the case of a house search!

From Earth Liberation Prisoners:
14 persons charged, 10 arrested, 5 in hunger strike
On May 21st special forces of the Austrian police forced entry to 23 homes of animal right activists across Austria. 14 persons were charged with suspected forming of a criminal organisation (law278a of the Austrian penal code) in connection with direct animal right actions. Ten persons were arrested and are in prison as suspects. At first nine were sent to the Vienna Neustadt prison and one to Innsbruck who has been brought to Vienna Neustadt on 28.05. Five prisoners are in hungerstrike at the moment, at least one since the 21.05. (date today: 29.05.). The organisation die tierbefreier e.V. is also affected by this wave of repression.
The way searching was done is indescribable. The homes and apartments were entered with pulled weapons; doors were smashed, despite tenants inside, sleeping. A complete chaos was left, PCs, files and other papers confiscated. No evidence of any criminal offence could be proved against the 14 persons; they were arrested purely on suspicion. Apparently only being engaged in animal right activities for some years was enough reason to arrest them.
Since the files handed to the lawyers could not prove any criminal offence, application for immediate release was filed. Imposing remand under these circumstances is absolutely against human rights.
Vegan diet
The vegan diet of the prisoners in Vienna Neustadt was totally insufficient at first. To provide vegan prisoners with animal exploitation products is not only a deep insult; it is far from their liability to take proper care. After intervention it has since improved. However on 28.05. four prisoners were brought to the prison in Wien Josefstadt and two were brought to Eisenstadt. It is not clear yet how the vegan catering is handled there.
Send mails and letters concerning the vegan issue to the prisons in Wiener Neustadt, Wien Josefstadt and Eisenstadt. Anyone living vegan for deep moral and ethical reasons has the right to receive vegan products!!

Support demos
We can and will not accept this suspected unlawful and unreasonable way, the searchings and the arrests were handled. Arrange support demos in front of Austrian consulates and embassies.
Just as important: Engage in animal rights activities! Some of the persons arrested have been engaged in animal rights for years, this fully aware. It is not only important to protest against the repression and the arrests, also protest against the daily exploitation und misuse of animals.
Write letters to morally support them. Letters help!
Do not write anything that could be used against them sooner or later. Please address letters as follows:
First name, Name
Date of birth:
Address of prison
Anyone not knowing above details, like date of birth, send the letters to:

Austria
And only mention the name or first name, the letters will then be readdressed. Without a name the letter will be copied and will be sent to all prisoners if that is possible.
Legal aid
Tremendous costs will arise for lawyers. Any penny you can spare is welcome. A special account was set up in Austria for this cause, transparency guaranteed.

Also ELP has been told that there will be a Global Day of Action in support of those arrested. Below is the information ELP has been sent regarding this Day of Action.
The wave of repression which took place last week in Austria was a shock for everybody. Anger, fear and consternation is what most of us might feel.
The arbitrary behaviour of the austrian police, the criminalization of people dedicated to animal liberation and the imprisonment of them screams out for action! We must show the responsible people and those connected with them our solidary resistance. What happened in Austria is not only a problem of austrian people and also not only of animal liberation activists! It is an alarming strike against inconvenient opponents, which last week affected austrian animal rights activists and could affect any left person in any country soon!
Our response has to be a global solidarity throughout the left! That is why we call out for a global day of action on june 4th, dedicated to the austrian prisoners. Do anything to show your support and solidarity. Send e-mails to austrian embassies, phone the embassies and tell them how you feel about the repression wave in austria, do demos in front of the embassies, organize events to collect money for the legal support of the activists... support the anti fur campaign against "Kleider Bauer", which seems to be the main reason for the disproportional state repression and which must carry on!
Please use your energy and creativity on the 4th of june to show your solidarity with the austrian animal liberation prisoners!

Sample letter in german and english:
Sehr geehrte Herr/Frau xy,
am 21.05.2008 wurden in Osterreich zahlreiche Hausdurchsuchungen bei Tierschutz- und Tierrechtsaktivist_innen durchgefuhrt sowie Raumlichkeiten von Tierschutzorganisationen durchsucht. Des Weiteren wurden 10 Aktivist_innen verhaftet und befinden sich nun auf Grund des Vorwurfs der Bildung einer kriminellen Vereinigung in Untersuchungshaft. Es ist meiner Meinung nach an Absurditat kaum zu uberbieten, dass bewaffnete Spezialeinheiten der osterreichischen Polizei einen derartigen Rundumschlag gegen eine soziale Bewegung durchfuhren. Dieser Willkurakt ist demokratiepolitisch gesehen ein Armutszeugnis.
Ich schreibe Ihnen, um meine entschiedene Ablehnung gegenuber den gegen Tierrechtler_innen ausgefuhrten Hausdurchsuchungen und Inhaftierungen zum Ausdruck zu bringen! Ich fordere Sie, stellvertretend fur die Regierung Osterreichs, auf, die betroffenen Aktivist_innen unverzuglich frei zu lassen. Ich verstehe die Durchsuchungs- und Verhaftungswelle als Versuch, legitimen Protest zu illegalisieren und spreche mich vehement gegen diese Repression aus!
Die Konstruktion des 287a uber die mutmassliche Bildung einer kriminellen Vereinigung lehne ich ab und verurteile die Versuche, die osterreichische Tierrechtsbewegung durch derartige Gewaltaktionen zu schwachen, entschieden. Die Befreiung der Tiere aus ihrem Zustand gesellschaftlich vermittelter Ausbeutung und Unterdruckung ist weder "kriminell" noch in irgendeiner anderen Form abzulehnen, sondern notwendige Bedingung einer freien Gesellschaft. Der Kampf unserer Genoss_innen ist ein Kampf, der die tierlichen Opfer vor weiterer Gewalt und Ausbeutung bewahren soll. Es ist mir unverstandlich, warum der osterreichische Staat diese Menschen bekampft, anstatt mit daran zu arbeiten, die Ausbeutung der Tiere zu beenden!
Aus diesem Grund fordere ich:
Sofortige Freilassung der Betroffenen osterreichischen Tierrechtler_innen! Sofortige Einstellung aller eventueller Verfahren!
Dear Mr./Mrs. Xy
On the 21st of May there have been a lot of raids against animal rights and animal welfare activists and groups. Furthermore, 10 activists have been arrested and are now blamed to be part of a criminal organization. In my opinion, it is more than absurd, that armed special forces of the Austrian police carried our such a big strike against a social movement. This act of arbitrariness is an evidence of incapacity for a democratic society.
I'm writing you to express that i'm totally opposed to the raids and arrests of the animal rights activists. I demand of you - in place of the Austrian government - to release the animal rights activists immediately. I understand this amount of raids and arrests as an attempt to criminalize legitimate protest and I condemn this repression in every way.
I reject the construct of law287a concerning the suspected formation of a criminal organisation and condemn the attempt to weaken the Austrian animal rights movement with such acts of violence. The liberation of animals from their state of socially institutionalized exploitation and oppression is neither "criminal" nor to reject in any other way but a necessary condition for a free society. The fight of our comrades is a fight to safe the animal victims from further violence and oppression. I don't understand why the Austrian state fights against those human beings instead of working for the abolition of animal exploitation .
Therefore I demand:
Immediate release of the Austrain animal rights activists!
Immediate dismissal of all prosecutions!
