Dubious court process against Gaston Ebua in Potsdam 16.01.2007
Gaston Ebua of The VOICE Refugee and Africa forum is accused for causing threat to the German police from Alexanderplatz-Berlin to Potsdam-Brandenburg, obstructing police from their official duty and resisting arrest.
This is following an arbitrary preventive arrests and detention( the so called entschloss Gewahrsam ) on the 17th of April 2006 in the spontaneous demonstration in Potsdam after the brutal and racist murderous attack that day on Mr Ermyas M the water engineer.
We would be happy despite this short notice to have observers to attend the trial from all groups such as refugee self-organised organisations and anti racist groups etc.
This is only the begining of a long awaited trial against police racist conspiracy, abuses and intimidation for involvment in protest for an immediate end to neo-nazi and police brutality.
Brief Info:
Gaston is still undocumented due to a failure by Berlin administration to resgister his Personal Travel Documents with the Federal Governments' Central Register-AZR-Auslander Zentraleregister after extending it in August 2004. They have threatened him with criminal charges accusing him for living illegal in Berlin and asking him to leave Berlin. At the time of his arrest in Potsdam, his documents were still not registered and the authorities have been under investigation for their failure not to have registered his documents( this investigation is still going on). It is possible that this motivated the police to come up with conspiracy threat charges, to file more threats against him living in Berlin.
