Comité Montpellier de soutien aux militants autrichiens inculpés
Enfin libres !!!
Les 9 militants viennent d'être libérés.
The controversial pre-trial detention for a group of 9 austrian animal
rights activists has been lifted today, following an order of the
appelate court.
Since the end of may the 9 activists (one had been released earlier)
have been charged with "Forming a Criminal Organization," under §278a
StGB of the austrian penal code. The Appelate court explained that there
is still a danger of commiting further crimes, but the pre-trial
detention cannot be upheld if the expected penalties are in no relation
to it.
The second reason for detention, danger of suppression of evidence is by
law limited to two months, which have long expired.
The first activists have been set free already.
