Aachen-BruXXels: Mass border crossing
alien8 | 09.12.2001 16:58 | Brussels
During the week before the EU-summit, people will meet in Aachen, Germany (close to the Belgium border) to discuss repressive EU-policies, such as travel restrictions, new anti-terrorism laws, surveillance, etc. Starting on Tuesday, 11th, there will be three days of workshops, but also demonstrations and actions at the border.
On Friday morning, people will attempt a mass border crossing and thereby make border restrictions and EU repression public. If everyone is allowed to cross the border, or if a collective border crossing can be enforced, then everyone will travel on to Brussels to take part in actions and demonstrations there. If people are stopped at the border, actions will continue in Aachen throughout the weekend.

German Activists Successfully Cross Border
14.12.2001 09:32
About 100 activists who had gathered in Aachen, Germany, are now in Liege after having successfully crossed the border into Belgium.
The activists took part, over the past days, in a onference in Aachen - discussing the issues around today#s protests and planning their border-crossing. Speaking live to Radio Bruxxel, Aachen activist "Annas Papa" reported that there had been no police at the train station to prevent the activists from travelling, and only two or three bags were examined. The activists will take their bus to Brussels and join the d14 demo.
