			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The verdict is of suspended two weeks of prison (Remember: four of the defendants already spent three weeks in custody). That means: They are free now and can enter Denmark at any time, as can be read on various sites via <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/juralde">Twitter</a>. The idea of an attack against the queen was rejected by the court.<br />
<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/22/denmark-sentences-greenpeace-activists-climate-summit_n_932799.html">Huffington Post</a> furthermore reports that Greenpeace Nordic is fined with 75.000 Kroners (over 10.000 EUR).</p>
<p>Die Strafe beträgt zwei Wochen auf Bewährung (Zur Erinnerung: Vier der angeklagten waren schon drei Wochen in Untersuchungshaft gewesen). Sie sind nun also frei und dürfen auch jederzeit nach Dänemark einreisen, wie über  <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/juralde">Twitter</a> auf englisch und spanisch gelesen werden kann. Der Vorwurf des Angriffs auf die Königin wurde vom Gericht zurückgewiesen.<br />

<p>Today the German dailies Neues Deutschland and taz published an interview with Juan López de Uralde, one of the defendants in the Greenpeace trial. He speaks about the trial and about his time in jail. He says the police didn&#8217;t investigate anything while they were in jail, and therefore Greenpeace gave them the information about who else was involved in the preparation of the action, so that the four people arrested could not be kept in jail under pretext any longer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>(b4/en)</strong> The Greenpeace case will continue with a new, and maybe last day in court this Friday. The first day in court for the 11 Greenpeace members was in June.<br />
One of the defendants told cop15antirep:<br />
&#8220;Most likely we will get a jail sentence. As you may have heard we are also charged for having insulted the Queen of Denmark. So if we get convicted for that we will be the first ones in history!&#8221;<br />
For more info see posts below.</p>
<p><strong>(de)</strong> Der Prozess gegen elf Greepeace-Aktivist_innen geht am Freitag in einen weiteren, und möglicherweise letzten Verhandlungstag. Der erste fand im Juni statt. Unter anderem wirft die Staatsanwaltschaft den Greenpeace-Aktivist_innen sogar &#8220;Beleidigung der dänischen Königin&#8221; vor (siehe ältere Einträge).<br />
&#8220;Sehr wahrscheinlich werden wir Gefängnisstrafen erhalten&#8221;, teilte eine betroffene Person cop15antirep mit. &#8220;Wir wären die ersten Menschen in der dänischen Geschichte, die wegen Beleidigung der Königin verurteilt würden.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 1st of June Tannie and Stine were spoken guilty for inciting violence against police and fence at the Bella Center, by shouting: &#8220;Push!&#8221;<br />
They will go to jail for two months, as confirms <a href="http://www.climate-justice-action.org/news/2011/06/22/call-for-solidarity-with-the-convicted-cja-spokespersons/">Climate Justice Action.</a><br />
Quote:<br />
&#8220;Tannie and Stine Gry will pay for the action of a whole movement by having their bodies locked behind prison walls for two months minimum. However, we can do something to cover the court costs collectively&#8221;.<br />
Click <a href="http://www.climatecollective.org/en/take-action/donate/">here </a> to see how you can help to raise the money, which could be as much as 30 000 EUR!</p>
<p>Am 1. Juni wurden Tannie und Stine schuldig gesprochen, am Bella Center zu Gewalt gegen Polizei und Zaun angestachelt zu haben, indem sie &#8220;Push!&#8221; riefen, also: &#8220;Drückt!&#8221; (siehe Artikel in der <a href="http://www.taz.de/1/zukunft/umwelt/artikel/1/schubsen-verboten/">taz</a> )<br />
Sie werden dafür mindestens zwei Monate ins Gefängnis gehen, bestätigt <a href="http://www.climate-justice-action.org/news/2011/06/22/call-for-solidarity-with-the-convicted-cja-spokespersons/">Climate Justice Action.</a><br />
Die Gerichtskosten könnten bis zu 30 000 EUR betragen, ist an selber Stelle zu lesen. Wer sehen will, wie geholfen werden kann, das Geld einzutreiben, klickt <a href="http://www.climatecollective.org/en/take-action/donate/">hier</a>.</p>

<p>German daily Taz published an <a href="http://www.taz.de/1/zukunft/umwelt/artikel/1/strassentheater-beleidigt-majestaet/">article</a> about the case against Greenpeace activists who went to the Danish queen&#8217;s supper without an invitation. The case is being considered as being ridiculous by many people in Denmark (also by politicians), partly because one charge is based on one very old article of the penal code that condemns &#8220;insulting the queen&#8221;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>AUFRUF zur Soli-Kundgebung:</p>
<p>Protest gegen die Verurteilung von gewaltlosen<br />
Klima-Aktivistinnen in Dänemark durch das Amtsgericht Kopenhagen.</p>
<p>Datum: heute, Fr, 26.11.</p>
<p>Zeit: 14:00 Uhr</p>
<p>Ort: vor der Dänischen Botschaft, 10787 Rauchstr. 1</p>
<p>(Anfahrt: Bus 100, Hst. Stülerstr. oder Bus X9 Hst. Budapester Str.,) </p>
<p>Am 25. November 2010 hat das Amtsgericht Kopenhagen Stine Gry Johnassen<br />
und Tannie Nyboe vom Bündnis &#8220;Climate Justice Action&#8221; zu 4 Monaten Haft<br />
auf Bewährung verurteilt. Die beiden Frauen waren während des<br />
Kopenhagener Klimagipfels im Dezember 2009 Sprecher_innen des<br />
Reclaim-Power-Aktionstages, bei dem dazu aufgerufen wurde, das<br />
Konferenz-Zentrum eigenhändig zu betreten und dort an der Versammlung<br />
der Vertreter_innen der &#8220;Assembly of the Peoples&#8221; teilzunehmen. Sie<br />
wurden nun schuldig befunden, Organisatorinnen und Rädelsführerinnen von<br />
Gewalt und Krawallen gewesen zu sein.</p>
<p>Dieser Urteilsspruch kommt einer Verhöhnung gewaltloser Proteste durch<br />
das Gericht gleich. Gewalt ging am 16. Dezember 2009 ausschließlich und<br />
nachweislich von der Polizei aus. Eine Massenklage wegen Verletzungen<br />
und Demütigung von Demonstrant_innen durch die Polizei ist zur Zeit<br />
ebenfalls vor dem Amtsgericht Kopenhagen anhängig.</p>
<p>Bitte, falls Ihr Zeit habt: Kommt morgen am Freitag, den 26.11.2010 zur<br />
Kundgebung vor der Dänischen Botschaft und lasst uns gemeinsam zeigen:<br />
Wir stehen zu den Protesten, an denen wir letztes Jahr teilgenommen<br />
haben und lassen uns nicht auf solch eine Art einschüchtern! Lasst uns<br />
unsere Solidarität mit Stine und Tannie vor die Dänische Botschaft tragen!</p>
<p>Falls Ihr der Dänischen Botschaft schreiben möchtet, hier die Adresse:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Climate spokespersons sentenced guilty: This is a giant defeat for<br />
democracy</strong> </p>
<p>Today, the Copenhagen District Court found Stine Gry Jonassen and Tannie<br />
Nyboe guilty in charges of being organisers and instigators of violence and<br />
vandalism. The incident took place on 16th of December at Bella Center last<br />
year during the climate summit in Copenhagen. The two women were sentenced<br />
to four months of probation. One of the judges disagreed with the verdict<br />
and thought the accused should be freed of all charges.</p>
<p>Stine Gry and Tannie Nyboe both acted as spokespersons for the Global<br />
Network &#8220;Climate Justice Action&#8221; (CJA).</p>
<p>During the Cop15 last year, CJA organised several non-violent civil<br />
disobedience protests, including the &#8220;Reclaim Power &#8211; Push for Climate<br />
Justice&#8221; rally on 16th of December. The two women were both the public<br />
facesof the movement and<br />
they are now found guilty in charges of being organisers and instigators of<br />
violence and riots. They are both deeply shocked by the outcome of the trial<br />
and are now considering an appeal.</p>
<p>Stine Gry considers the whole trial absurd:</p>
<p>*&#8221;There has been a clear political rationale with these trials. It is<br />
obvious that Tannie and I were accused because we acted as public faces of<br />
the movement. This trial sends a significant message: if you have the nerve<br />
to stand up and express a critical point of view of society, the authorities<br />
will do whatever they can to silence you. It is absurd that a large public<br />
movement as CJA is criminalised because they &#8211; as one of the few &#8211; dared to<br />
criticise the ongoing climate negotiations during the summit; especially in<br />
the light of how poorly things turned out with the negotiations and how<br />
criticisable Denmark&#8217;s role was. The verdict is a defeat for democracy<br />
because it hinders politically engaged people in using their democratic<br />
right to demonstrate and express themselves critically.&#8221; *</p>
<p>Tannie explains: *&#8221;It** is an evident political attempt to limit the<br />
opportunity to criticise the negotiations during the summit and the whole<br />
bedrock of the climate process. The right to demonstrate is an<br />
essentialpart of democracy, despite it is the existing political<br />
system that is being<br />
criticised. I really hope that people will still use their democratic<br />
rightto express themselves critically, though one might risk being<br />
accused personally by the court. However, I fear that this case will scare<br />
people from protesting and organising themselves politically in the<br />
future. Consequently<br />
it is just as big a defeat for the political work and democracy in<br />
Denmark,as it is for us personally.&#8221;</p>

<p>*Background:*</p>
<p>Climate Justice Action (CJA) is a global network of social movements and<br />
groups, which mobilised and called out for protests during the climate<br />
summit in Copenhagen in December last year, in order to challenge the<br />
insubstantial political negotiations at the Bella Centre and demanding just<br />
solutions to the climate problems. On 16th of December, CJA organised the<br />
demonstration &#8220;Reclaim Power &#8211; Push for Climate Justice&#8221; to give voice to<br />
the people mostly affected by climate changes &#8211; the same people who were not<br />
heard inside the Bella Centre.</p>
<p>At the time, Stine Gry and Tannie were spokespersons for the movement and<br />
argued for the right to protest and for the freedom of speech. They are now<br />
found guilty in planning the &#8220;Reclaim Power&#8221; demonstration and of plotting<br />
violence against an official in function, of severe vandalism, of serious<br />
disturbance of public peace and order, and of illegal trespassing.<br />
Several hundred people were arrested in relation to the action, but none of<br />
these have since been accused anything illegal.</p>
<p>The trial of the two spokespersons took place in Copenhagen City Court on 6<br />
th, 27th, and 28th of October 2010 at 9.30 AM. The verdict was spoken at Thu, 26th of November by Copenhagen City Court.</p>
