Write to the prisoners!
There's two people being kept in prison here in Holland since the 30th of
November, for (complicity to) 'attempted manslaughter' against a copper. Seven
others are waiting to be deported to several different countries and one woman
got deported to Australia already.
In the night of Friday to Saturday the 30th of November the police raided one
squat here in Amsterdam and arrested all the inhabitants. The motive for the
raid was some kind of fake fair-gun that some residents found in the trash,
which some neighbours saw and called the cops for. The cops didn't want to talk
or negotiate but started immediately to arrest and beat up people, so the
squatters spontaneously started to defend their house by throwing stuff out of
the windows. Some sympathizers who rushed to the spot got also beaten up and
arrested. In the heat of all this a small tv was thrown out of a window on the
head of a copper. He didn't get seriously injured, but two people are now being
accused of attempted manslaughter and are facing some longer time in prison.
