Today a small group gathered outside the German Embassy in Thordon,
Wellington to stand in solidarity with imprisoned activist Andrea Neff.

The protest was peaceful, and no police arrived. Nobody from the embassy
came to speak with us. A statement was left in the embassy mailbox.

Andrea Neff is presently serving 14 months imprisonment for her
involvement in actions against Neo-Nazi demonstrations in Germany.

She has been accused of participating within an action of the
"Uberflussigen" (an autonomous group active mainly on the theme of
precarity) against the racist immigration office in Berlin-Lichtenberg; In
October 2006, for a blockade attempt against a Neo-Nazi march in August
2006; For masking up during the protests against a Neo-Nazi demonstration
towards the prison of Tegel in solidarity with Michael Regner "Lunikoff"
(singer of a famous Neo-Nazi band, serving a couple of years in that
prison), in October 2006; For carrying pepperspray on her person (usually
legal in Germany); For carrying pepper eggs during a demonstration.
On top of this come two months without probation following a squatting
acton in the Liebigstrasse, Berlin-Friedrichshain.

Altogether she was sentenced on 01 December 2007 to 14 months behind bars.

Today is Andrea’s Birthday. We stand in solidarity with Andrea’s actions
and oppose the oppressive nature of the German state’s actions in
imprisoning her.
