TREATED LIKE ANIMALS

Since Gestapo-like raids on May 21st, ten animal rights activists have been held without charge under vague anti-terror laws in Austria (see SchNEWS 636). They have not even been told what they are accused of. In protest at their treatment, one of the detainees, Dr Martin Balluch, has been on hunger strike and his health is now deteriorating.

A solidarity human rights demo is being held outside the Austrian Embassy on Friday 27 June from 10am-12pm. Meet in Belgrave Square (nr tube: Victoria and Hyde Park Corner). After noon, protest will move to the Austrian National Tourist Office at 9-11 Richmond Buildings London W1D 3HF.
