On the 4th december 2014 a decision in the trial against the eight
accused of „Schlepperei“/human smuggling is expected. The last months
gave a lot of proof, but not against the accused. Instead the racism of
the investigating cops, the judge and other authorities was shown.
Examples are wrong translations, the long time of detention while
awaiting trial and the incomprehension of the situation of migrants in
Austria.
After the first days of trial, the trialit was postponed for a month
because of the chaotic files. Afterwards evidence for the enormous
amounts of money that should have been topic of the trial due to the
authorities could not be found. It came out, that some of the accused
had not known each other before they came to prison for being a criminal
association together with some other „unknown offenders“ in Greece and
Hungary.
„Schlepperei“/Human Smuggling (§114 FPG) is based on the criminalization
of migration and the illegalization of persons because it punishes the
support of border crossing. This support is necessary in a world system
with strictly controlled borders and restricting sylum and visa laws.
Why should I go to Wiener Neustadt?
For the accused the attendance of persons observing the trial in
solidarity is a big support. Since they were arrested in July 2013
shortly after some activists of the refugee movement in Vienna were
deported, their daily life is determined by the routines of the court. A
sentence could have negative consequences on the asylum cases of the
accused. This trial should not pass in silence as too many others. Let
the authorities know that their decision is not unobserved. No matter
what decision the judge will make, we won’t top fighting for a world
without borders, capitalism and racism.The trial is ope to public, so
you can enter court without showing any paper or ID-card.
Don’t leave the accused alone, show your solidarity!
De-Criminalise Migration!
SMASH §114 FPG!
