On May 1st Marcus O. was chained and his mouth was closed with a gummed tape by escorting policemen when he was deported from Vienna to Sofia by airplane. asphysikated.

Five days later his murderers are back in Austria, in freedom. Not even a suspension is planned, probably they will get moved to other positions. The Ministry of the Interior, Karl Schloegl (SPOE- Social Democrats) is not thinking of a dismission and is supported by his party and chancellor Klima (SPOE) without any conditions. As to opinion polls 88% of the Austrian population are against his dismission. The same time there is discussion about common EUropean deportations or about deportations with army airplanes. The racist consensus in Austria is so big, that the airline owner Niki Lauda (Lauda-Air) is proud to do deportations by his airline! The most-read newspaper (Kronen Zeitung) of this country fulfills its racism at its worst: Marcus is guilty for his own death, the policemen had no choice, because he was in rage (this fact is denied by the Viennese airport personnel and the policemen who were responsible for him in prison!). Suddenly, after five days the murderers have a new explanation for closong Marcus` mouth by a gummed tape: he was biting and to prove it, the said, that the would have biting wounds, which they never had stated in their protocols. The autopsy is now being done by Austrian medical personnel- and we have fear, that they will hide the facts.

The racist instigation and atmospherein this country is getting worse! To stop murder and torture in this country needs a broad pressure against the racist country Austria!

This is why we appeal together with other organizations for an international action day on May 12th - please organize actions in and in front of Austrian embassies, organize demos,..., let us break their racist consensus!

Open borders for anyone!
Deportation is torture - deportation is murder!

P.S.: We had several spontaneous demos here in Vienna, the HQ of the SPOE was occupied very shortly for two times, more spontaneous actions will follow...

There are memorial gatherings in front of the Ministry of the Interior each day, and on saturday we will have a large common demo...
