It’s worth being annoying together!
Yeah, the remaining fines against Heibo activists who were still in appeal proceedings have expired after more than a year of uncertainty and annoying deadlines and have been cancelled. Although one of the fines had already been confirmed by the court in Dresden, the district court in Kamenz was apparently fed up with us and dropped the proceedings.
If that’s not a reason to celebrate!
Because we joined forces, agreed and supported each other, we saved several thousand euros, which can now go to meaningful projects instead of going into the state’s pocket. If everyone had stayed alone, perhaps only a few of those affected would have lodged an objection and would have been quickly condemned by the court.
So: joint resistance is worthwhile, even if it can be super annoying. Even if the chances didn’t look good for those affected in the meantime, it was worth it in the end to have the staying power and not give in, even if some of the threats were outrageous and the legal interpretations were messed up.
Now there are ‘only’ two cases still open concerning resistance to law enforcement officers, one on appeal and one in the first instance.
Thank you!
We as a support group would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people who have donated to us or initiated their own fundraising campaigns for us, as well as those affected for their trusting cooperation with us, their patience, their courage and their staying power. Together, we were able to show that we will not be beaten down and we think this deserves to be celebrated properly!
