Animal Activists Arrests - Protest against Human Rights Abuse
Email content:
On 21 May there were several raids against animal rights and animal welfare activists and groups. Furthermore, 10 activists were arrested and are now accused of being part of a criminal organization.
In my opinion, it is more than absurd that armed special forces of the Austrian police carried out such a big strike against a social movement. This act of arbitrary violence is evidence of failure of the democratic society.
I’m writing to you to express that I am totally opposed to the raids and arrests of the animal rights activists. I demand their immediate release from prison. I find this number of raids and arrests to be an attempt to criminalize legitimate activism and I condemn this repression in every way.
I reject the construct of §287a concerning the suspected formation of a criminal organisation and I condemn the attempt to weaken the Austrian animal rights movement with such acts of violence. The liberation of animals from their state of socially institutionalized exploitation and oppression is neither „criminal“ nor to be rejected in any other way; on the contrary, it is a necessary condition for a free society. Animal right activists only wish to save the animal victims from further violence and oppression. I don’t understand why the Austrian state fights against those human beings instead of working for the abolition of animal exploitation.
Therefore, I strongly request an immediate action towards releasing the imprisoned Austrian animal rights activists. Please do not allow any more violations of human rights in the middle of democratic Europe.
Yours sincerely,
(Your name)
