HAMBI UPDATE – ALL COPS ARE TARGETS. 

Yesterday a strong force of 2/3000 cops decided to raid the meadow. They use the excuse of a police officer having been hit by a projectile thrown with a slingshot and that they needed to find the “offensive weapon”.

They proceeded to arrest 20 people that were squatting the roofs and that would be released the same day. 

Whilst arrests were happening, a thorough search was undergo and they took all tools from the workspace, broke the clay oven with batons, tear down roofs of buildings and took away both 1000l canisters that are used to store all drinking water for the occupation. All this, within legal camp grounds and without permission of a judge.

This is a show of the tactics they are trying to implement, weakening the occupation with huge numbers and small actions before the actual eviction starts.

The meadow is now asking for tools and water so anyone able to help, please do so.

For anyone reading this, today the police is not blocking the entrances and there is no ID controls, so it is an ideal time to get in and help inside the forest.

We will keep you updated as more news come in.

HAMBI BLEIBT!

UNOFFENSIVE UPDATE – THE OFFICIAL ANIMAL RIGHTS MARCH. 

Today we marched alongside thousands of other people in London to ask for animal liberation. We are exhausted and we will keep this sweet and short, but we wanted to say hello to all the new faces that might be peeking the page for the first time.

We raised a good amount of money that will help during the badger cull and to do some prisonsupport work and we had so many different letters written for prisoners. You folks are inspiring!

Surge did an incredible job at organising alongsideHeartCure and we couldn’t be more grateful to have had the chance to have a speech. Our spokesperson did amazing and we want to extend our gratitude to her.

To anyone that came and show solidarity and gave us love, thank you. You keep us going.

For total liberation, for diversity of tactics and for a change in the whole system.

UNTIL ALL ARE FREE!

WORLD DAY FOR ANIMALS IN LABORATORIES

WDAIL has been organised and locations and dates released. This historic demo against vivisection in the UK will take place on the 28th of April in Nottingham.

Make sure to book some time off and come support all the animals tortured in laboratories. The anti-vivisection movement in the UK has been quieted down by the state and by applying incredibly repressive laws against protesters. It is time to change that back again.

Find more info here: https://www.facebook.com/events/817860415062877/

Unoffensive Animal will be attending so find us there and come say hello!

UNTIL EVERY FUCKING CAGE IS EMPTY.

URGENT FUND APPEAL!

At Unoffensive Animal, we like to cause havoc in as many places as possible. In the next 45 days, we are planning to visit France, Switzerland, Germany, Spain and the UK to take part in actions, help at occupations and organise workshops.

Our next step is working alongside Hunt Saboteurs Sweden to aid the sabotage of Wolf Hunts happening right now.

We have found a train ticket that allows us to travel through Europe for 2 months at a much cheaper rate than individual trips, but it is still over 250€.

We need your help to make this happen. If you can spare some coins please drop us a donation on our PayPal.

If on the other hand, you’d like to support us on a monthly basis, our Patreon isn’t taking off as much as we would like, so have a look at the link.

STATE REPRESSION – ANIMAL RIGHTS ACTIVIST TARGETED. 

This morning we received an anonymous email from a British activist. We would like to quote a few of their words.

“Yesterday I was sentenced for going into “free range” broiler facilities, to film and expose the truth, of what free range really is. 

When I was arrested at my home it was done by 8 police officers, with 4 marked police cars outside my home and 2 of the officers were actually armed.
I was alone at the farm and 17 years old at the time.

It was a sentencing hearing for a guilty plea to “criminal damage”.

240 hours of unpaid work and an order to ‘Not linger within 200m of any private land where the intent is for the raising or slaughter of livestock for the next three years’, which makes me unable to even join a Save vigil.”

This is just one of the many examples of how the system works. The system will try to silence us, it will try to quiet us down and to make others blind to reality. The system will favour capitalism over any ethical standpoint. Profit over anything.

It is on us to retaliate and to show we are fearless. It is on us to stick our middle finger the the legal system, to the capitalist system and to the government structures. We are born free and leaderless. We are born without hierarchies.

Let this be your start to smash the barriers that we are forced to in society. Let this be the story that makes you realise we are not working within the system, but to tumble the system until it falls.

Smash all hierarchies, hierarchies between human and non human animals and hierarchies within society.

Solidarity with our troops.

PRISONS ARE FOR BURNING.

HAMBACHER FORST – UNOFFENSIVE UPDATES! 

The climate in Hambi is electrifying. There are loud bangs and smoke covering the sky almost every night. Since the Hambi 9 got locked up activists have not taken a second to rest. It is almost as if they want to say; ‘if they don’t get released, we will burn the whole planet’.

Today we are going to dedicate the day to publish actions taken by autonomous groups in solidarity with the Hambi 9. At the end of today, we will also release the addresses of all activists so you can write letters to them.

A few of the banged-up activists will have their court case tomorrow so hold your horses on sending them, we will let you know if it is necessary.

Remember that there is a call to action on the 3rd of February against all RWE infrastructure and against the justice system and prisons. From noise demos to colourful actions or underground activities, it is up to you to decide how you want to show love for our compañeres in prison.

Enjoy the ride over some of the actions reported.

SEE YOU IN THE NEXT RIOT!

REMEMBERING JILL PHIPPS.

On the 1st of February 1995, Jill Phipps tragically died after being crushed under the wheels of a lorry delivering baby veal calves to Coventry airport. Today, we remember Jill and her legacy.

Despite almost 100 officers being present on the day of the protest, they failed to protect those who had attempted to stop the lorry moving by sitting on the road. A protester at the scene noted that the police ignored the clear safety problems, and ushered the lorry to continue moving. It was at this moment that Jill was knocked down, and crushed under the wheels of the vehicle.

Today we remember a woman who was fearless and died needlessly in the fight for animal liberation. Although a tragic incident that should not have happened, Jill’s death inspired and still inspires many to get active and join fighting the cause that Jill lost her life for. We must honour her and remember her in our actions.

Jill’s spirit lives on in those who fight.

JILL PHIPPS 15 JANUARY 1964 – 1 FEBRUARY 1995.

RAILWAY SABOTAGED. 

26th January, Germany.

anonymous report:
“Revenge on the hambi-coal-rails.

On Friday, 26.01.2018, we switched off the RWE-coalrails. From a safe source, an autonomic anarchist-group got the information about what happened on monday, 22.01.2018 at the barricade eviction in the Hambacher forest.

Parliamentarians were invited for a “viewing on the police-work”. The police aided even the right-extremist politicians of AfD through the forest, safeguarded by 100 cops and a helicopter, not caring about the promise that AfD was not invited. It was a demonstration of power that ended embarrassing for both, police and RWE, because of the effective resistance of the activists in the forest. They were not able to evict successfully the barricades. To set precedence they locked up eleven people and sent them to court. They are still inside because they refused to give their ID to the oppressive system.

We want to show our highest appreciation to each and every one of them! The behaviour of RWE and government is disgusting, so we decided to come to NRW and switch off the coal-railway. The burning short circuit that we caused on the electricity-cables should teach them one thing: For every action, a reaction.

The principle is easy: From the top of a bridge let down nylon strings with weights on them on the left and right side of the cables down to the rails. Throw down the metal wire that is connected to the nylon strings and allow the short circuit to happen! Remember to close your eyes!

We will not doubt to come back and retaliate even more if things go further. We will always support those that are fighting against this oppressive government and we will take revenge in their names.

With love and solidarity to all prisoners.

SMASH CAPITALISM. SMASH THE STATE. SMASH RWE.

SOLIDARITY WITH HAMBI – BANNER DROP

“In solidarity with the imprisoned activists and all people facing repression by the state a banner was dropped in Tübingen, southern Germany, saying “freedom for Hambach prisoners, war against everyone who destroys the earth and confines our comrades”

Since Tuesday January 23rd 2018, nine activists from the Hambach Forest occupation are in pre-trial detention, accused of obstructing the work of officers.”

To show our solidarity with the imprisoned activists and all people facing repression by the state a banner was dropped in Tübingen, southern Germany, saying “freedom for Hambach prisoners, war against everyone who destroys the earth and confines our comrades”

If you have time write letters to the prisoners, the addresses and more info can be found at the ABC Rhineland Blog.

We may not all have the time to squat trees and build barricades, but we all can spare some minutes to support the struggle against RWE and the destruction of our climate and ecosystem – may it be by writing letters to prisoners, dropping a banner or disarm a coal excavator.

Tear down the walls that keep us from each other!

Libertad por lxs presxs Hambi 9!”
