UNAC: Justice for German anti-war activist Heinrich Bücker!

 From the United National AntiWar Coalition, UNAC: 



The US and its Western allies are cracking down on freedom of speech so that their lies about Ukraine can not be challenged


Justice for German anti-war activist, Heinrich Bücker 






As we know, Julian Assange has been in jail for years in the UK while the US tries to have him extradited to face charges for exposing US war crimes in Iraq, Afghanistan, Guantanamo and more.  Daniel Hale is serving 4 years for telling the truth that the US drone program in Afghanistan has mainly killed civilian.  The FBI has raided the homes of leaders of the Black is Back Coalition for speaking truth to power about the situation in Ukraine.  Many in the US have had their social media accounts taken away for doing the same.  Among the US Western allies, sanctions have been imposed on reporters and their bank accounts frozen for simply going to Donbass and reporting what they have seen.  This has happened in Germany and the UK.


Now Germany is investigating Heinrich Bucker, who is a friend of UNAC and the proprietor of the Coop Antiwar Café in Berlin.  The Coop Antiwar Café is a café and organizing center for movement organizations in Berlin.  Bucker faces a possible fine or jail time for the crime of condemning Germany’s support for Ukraine in a public speech.


It is past time that we all stand together and fight these attacks on the very right of our movement to exist in these so-called Western “democracies.”
