Decisions of the 8/12 trial ; rendezvous in Paris on december 22

from expansive.info (30th Nov.)

On Friday December 22, the 7 comrades accused of terrorist intent against who knows what symbol or representative of the state, oppression or capital, are summoned to receive the decision of their trial.
Rendezvous in support of the 8/12 defendants at and in front of the Paris Tribunal, Place de Clichy on Friday December 22 at 9am.

The rendezvous is at 10am in court, to listen to the judges respond to the demands of both the prosecutors and the defense. The latter are questioning the validity of several elements of the procedure (the wiretaps before the legal proceedings, the absence of the agents who added the minutes to the file, etc.). We don’t know how long this will last: if we can say that we won’t know the decision at 10 or 11 am, the rest is just speculation. It will be possible for those who want to go and listen to the hearing (without guaranteeing that there will be room for everyone), or to stay in front.

That’s why we’re calling for a moment of support, starting at 9am, outside the court. We’ll be sharing coffee, zines, news, songs, a picnic, music (with a good beat to warm us up)… Don’t hesitate to bring anything you can think of to liven up this moment of solidarity, which aims to warm up the court [Tribunal de Grande Immonde = Tribunal of Big Trash, NdT].

As a reminder, the public prosecutor’s orders are :

that they do not recover the seals (computers, phones, money…).
registration in the FIJAIT ( Register of Perpetrators of Terrorist Offences) for 20 years.
Everyone banned from carrying weapons for 10 years.
For the 3 who refused to provide encryption keys: €1,500 fine.
For LibreFlot, 6 years’ imprisonment with deferred committal order.
For the others, from 2 years’ imprisonment with a simple suspended sentence to 5 years’ imprisonment with a 4-year suspended sentence. The 6 people concerned will not be going back to prison (even the prosecutor says so); they all have a maximum of one year’s imprisonment, which covers their pre-trial detention or will be converted into another sentence (electronic bracelet, for example).

If you want to carpool from Rennes, please write to comiterennes8decembre@riseup.net, so that we can get organized together!

If you can’t come, don’t hesitate to organize a support event in your area. The kitty is still there, and the defendants need help to pay the €10,000 owed to each of them!
