Dear all,
On December 15 2009 the office of the Inclusive Foundation, a well
known Georgian LGBT organisation, was raided by the police. They did
not wear police uniforms, did not provide a search warrant, did not
inform about their identity or agency they represented and did not
explain the purpose of their intrusion.

On
January 19, 2010, a year to the day from the murders of Stanislav
Markelov and Anastasia Baburova, we, the organizers of an antifascist
march, call on you to join our campaign against neo-Nazi terrorism.
The word fascism has been utterly devalued today. It is hard to find
a political movement that avoids branding its opponents as “fascists.”
But there are also meaningful interpretations of this term. Many of
them have a direct bearing on what is taking place in contemporary
Russia.

In October 2008, the Border Monitoring Project Ukraine (BMPU) was
established, it is a joint initiative of Ukrainian and EU-based NGOs.
The BMPU is a result of the NoBorder Camp 2007 in Uzhgorod/Ukraine. On
the one hand, the focus of the project is to document cases of
unlawful return/refoulement/readmission of refugees and other vulnerable
migrants from European Union countries to Ukraine and follow up their fate in
Ukraine. On the other hand, the project aims to help migrants in
Transcarpia in their daily struggles. Subsequently, we aim to build
pressure in order to put an end to these practices.
Please visit our new webpage and find out more about the situation on
the Eastern borders of the EU, the situation of migrants and
refugees in Ukraine and the activities of the BMPU:
www.bordermonitoring-ukraine.eu
The webpage is updated at least once a week to highlight arrests,
returns and deportations and policy developments in the region.
Greetings,
Bordermonitoring Ukraine

Heute um ca. 19:00 ging spontan eine größere Menschenmenge (ca.300
Personen) zum Rektorat auf der Hauptuni. Grund war die heutige brutale
Räumung durch die Polizei um ca. 16:00 auf der Hauptuni Hof 5. Als vor
dem Rektorat niemand auf unsere Parolen reagierte, wurde versucht in
den danebenliegenden Festsaal zu kommen. Securities haben den Weg
blockiert und riefen die Polizei. Student_innen und solidarische Leute
reagierten schnell, bildeten Ketten und konnten bis zur Tür vordringen.
Als kein weiteres durchkommen in den Festsaal möglich war bildete sich
eine Spontandemo vor der Uni. Polizei war schon vor Ort und sperrte
recht schnell den Ring, als Leute anfingen den Ring zu blockieren. Nach
und nach kamen immer mehr solidarische Menschen. Eine Demo von ca. 400
Menschen zog dann ca. 19:30 Richtung Parlament. Die meisten
Autofahrer_innen hupten solidarisch. Beim Parlament angekommen warteten
schon mehrere Polizeibusse inklusive Kiebara und versuchten den Zugang
zum Parlament zu blockieren. Das gelang ihnen nicht. Leute sind hoch
vor das Parlament gelaufen und skandierten unter anderem lautstark:
Bildung für alle und zwar umsonst.

Far East, as well as social activists.
