Subject: [infoclimate09-na] Copenhagen Summit: Petition to Release Tadzio
Mueller and the other climateprisoners!
To: infoclimate09-na at lists.riseup.net


Dear all

you have heard about the protests as well as the mass arrests of people in
Copenhagen.

Here is a petition for the release of Tadzio Müller, a friend of Orin's and
mine--as well as of all other climate prisoners, drafted by the collective
turbulence, of which Tadzio is also a member.

Please sign the petition and forward it around.

Peace,

Anne Petermann

>>
>> Over the past week, tens of thousands of people from across the planet
>> have taken to the streets of Copenhagen demanding real and just
>> solutions to climate change. But on the streets, as well as inside the
>> UN Climate Change Conference, delegates and â⒬˦outsidersÃ
>> ¢â’¬â“¢ alike are
>> doubting that the conference will reach a deal that isnâ⒬⠓¢t a
>> disaster for
>> most of the world.
>>
>> Inside the Bella Centre, where the UN delegates are meeting, numerous
>> critical voices have been marginalised through technical and
>> procedural
>> manoeuvres. Others, like Friends of the Earth International, have had
>> their accreditation revoked. Outside, the policing of protest has been
>> consistently draconian and occasionally brutal.
>>
>> On Saturday 12 December, almost 1,000 participants in a 'Climate
>> March'
>> through Copenhagen were arrested. On Monday 14 December, hundreds more
>> were arrested at a party in the city's Christiania district
>> following a
>> public meeting, addressed by Canadian journalist Naomi Klein and
>> others.
>> On Tuesday 15 December, Tadzio Mueller, a spokesperson for Climate
>> Justice Action, was arrested by undercover police officers following a
>> press conference at the Bella Centre.
>>
>> This morning, on Wednesday 16 December, Tadzio appeared before a judge
>> on a number of charges relating to his public support for todayâ⠒¬â“¢s
>> Reclaim Power demonstration. The declared aim of Reclaim Power - also
>> supported by social movements, many conference delegates and other
>> civil
>> society actors - is to hold a People's Assembly at the Bella Centre,  to
>> discuss real solutions to climate change. At this morning's court
>> hearing the judge decided to hold Tadzio for a further three days,
>> after
>> which he will reappear in court. There are reports that the hearing  was
>> closed to the public.
>>
>> Meanwhile, hundreds more protesters have been arrested today and there
>> have been numerous reports of police brutality and the extensive use  of
>> batons, pepper spray and tear gas. We have also heard of further
>> arrests
>> of individual activists by undercover police officers.
>>
>> We, the undersigned, not only lend our support to those in Copenhagen
>> seeking to push for real and just solutions to climate change, but
>> also
>> demand the following:
>> The immediate release of Tadzio Mueller and all other climate
>> prisoners;
>> A halt to the criminalisation and intimidation of activists, including
>> the pre-emptive detaining of protesters in Copenhagen;
>> The immediate re-instatement of accreditation withdrawn from NGOs and
>> other critical voices at the Climate Summit
>>
>> (This Open Letter was drafted by the editors of Turbulence: Ideas for
>> Movement, of which Tadzio Mueller is an editor.)
