On 9th of May the police searched nationwide 40 projects and houses of opposers of the G8-Summit. More than 800 Police officers were involved. As the chief public prosecutor claims the reason for this major crack down are a supposed creation of a terrorist organisation in accordance with paragraph 129a and twelve arson attacks on different institutions in Berlin, Hamburg and Brandenburg who stand in connection with G8-protests. Involved are, among others, the ‘Bethanien’, the book store ‘Schwarze Risse’, the server room of 'so36.net', the store ‘Fusion’, the picture-archive ‘Umbruch’, kanalB and different flat-sharing communities in Berlin. In Hamburg the ‘Rote Flora’ as well as house projects were searched. That way the state and its repression apparatus show their fear of the protests in Heiligendamm. Despite the repression the preparations for the summit are proceeding. Nothing will stop protest and resistance against the G8!
