Steungroep Veganisten Achter Tralies

Update: 15/1/2011

Schrijf Jonathan Pollak

Afgelopen dinsdag is de Israelische anarchist en dierenrechtenactivist Jonathan Pollak veroordeeld tot 3 maanden gevangenisstraf. Jonathan is actief bij de actiegroep Anarchists Against The Wall en hij wordt gestraft voor het te langzaam fietsen tijdens een demonstratie tegen het bombardement op Gaza door het Israelische leger.

Hij ontvangt graag brieven tijdens zijn opsluiting, dus neem even 5 minuten de tijd (of langer natuurlijk) en laat je steun blijken aan onze kameraad! Helaas mag hij niets anders ontvangen dan brieven, dus stuur geen postzegels, magazines etc. mee.

Stuur je postkaart of brief naar:

JONATHAN POLLAK
HERMON PRISON NSWING
PO BOX 4011
MAGHAR 14930
ISRAEL

Je kunt je brief aan Jonathan ook mailen, dan wordt het in Israel uitgeprint en opgestuurd. Mail je support naar:

Update: 26/09/2011

Over de hele wereld zitten dierenrechtenactivisten vast.
Sommigen hebben hun vrijheid opgegeven voor de bevrijding van dieren, anderen weer zijn het slachtoffer geworden van repressief beleid tegen dierenrechtenactivisten. De gevangen moeten maanden, soms jaren zitten.
Om ze te laten weten dat ze er niet alleen voor staan en hun tijd een beetje dragelijker te maken kan je ze een brief of een kaartje sturen.

Briana was serving a six year sentence for allegedly acting as a look-out during an ELF arson.  There was no evidence to support the case against Briana other than the words of two police informants who lied to the police to try and get a lighter sentence.
www.supportbriana.org/
Update: Good news - After serving 2 and a half years, Briana was been released from prison on 14th October 2010 on bail. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the environmental activist's conviction on September 14th, 2010, based on their findings that her conviction was improper because important rulings by the trial court deprived her of a fair trial. She is ecstatic about being reunited with her daughter, Kalliope.
