Blanket demo ban for Gorleben
Two weeks before 11 containers of highly active nuclear waste fused in glass are due to be delivered to Gorleben, police have published in the local newspaper a general directive about time and location limits on assembly rights from 9 to 18 November in the Gorleben area.
The announcement was buried between real estate and dating advertisements and gave no reasons for the bans.
Wolfgang Ehmke of the Bürgerinitiative (BI) Umweltschutz Lüchow-Dannenberg commented: “When the Castor (waste transport) comes, democracy goes”.
Ehmke points out that Germany’s highest court, dismissing police arguments, has emphasised that even blockading actions are covered by the protection of the right to demonstrate so long as participants allow themselves to be carried off.
The organisation points out that the court still has to rule on a 2003 complaint against the blanket demo ban by police.
