Video of undercover provocateur: G8 demo

Various reports are emerging on the German and British indymedias that perhaps 5 undercover officers were found. Multiple sources are reporting that they were wearing 'black bloc' attire and actively engaged in rock throwing or encouraging others to attack police cars during the Saturday violence in Rostock, and at the fence around Heiligendamm resort, so this is probably a verified report of provocateur behavior. However, the details are not sorted out at this point. It is challenging to understand the vocabulary in the article covering this in the online Spiegel (June 8, 2007), because I'm not sure what a 'Zivilbeamten' is (a civil peace official?) and which category of employment this would be- possibly not the real police department. The fact that this is towards the top of the front page at this major news magazine shows that the country finds this to be important news, and it lies under the announcement of climate talks at the meeting, and discussion of indictments in the CIA's terrorist flights to Romania.

Here is a video link which shows some peace officials and lawyers helping lead away the discovered individual (this should be a free link for at least a week?), and a google translation of the article.

Demonstrator accused of covered civil policeman as inciters

Of Florian Gathmann and Björn Hengst, Rostock

The police comes into explanation emergency: It does not admit with the G-8-Gipfel a civil servant in the demonstrator course to have begun - however as a force inciter. A witness however loads the policeman opposite

Rostock - the young man, who gives information behind the stage during the closing speech of the G-8-Proteste in Rostock, carries a blue baseball cap. In the hand it holds sun glasses, its bright skin is burned from the sun. Which he states, saves explosive relating to domestic affairs: “Drauf on the bulls”, more massively, black disguised, tells the 25-year old area Hamburg from that called so now. “And I have saw, like he a stone toward police threw.” A thing had let it become stutzig: The allegedly autonomous one carried a sweater with the label “Slipknot”, the name for volume from the “new Metal” - range. That, finds the eye-witness, “fits not at all into the scene”.

For twelve years it is active in the Antifa - more does not want to betray the young man to its person. “I am afraid otherwise Repressalien”, say he. However, “if it really somewhat is useful, I these statements possibly also in relation to the police would make”.

The massive man, whom he means, was obviously a civil policeman. Against a first Dementi the special unit “Kavala” confirmed the employment of a civil servant with a blockade action at the central Sicherheitsschleuse before the gallopp course. Yesterday was yesterday - and today is today, then “Kavala” commentates - speaker Ulf Claassen opposite MIRROR ON-LINE ONE the Dementi of the Dementi. However it remains with the fact that it did not concern with the official a “agent provocateur”, who goaded on to the force. Its representation of the Vortag has further existence, according to which does not belong such a thing “into a constitutional state”.

The official originating from Bremen was on Wednesday with a seat blockade at the eastern entrance after holy dam in use, communicated the “Kavala”. Of Bremen demonstrators would have recognized, would have attacked and by force from the crowd would have pushed the official. It was easily hurt. “Only it is to be owed to the stout-heartet intervention of peaceful globalization critics that it came, explained not to heavier injuries” the police.

Statements, the civil servant the order had cause other blockade participants committing of criminal offences and disturbances missed to any basis. The only task of the official consisted of raising information about planning and committing from criminal offences and disturbances to. “The employment of such civilian forces is a component of the Deeskalationsstrategie and serves excluding the proof-strong statement of force authors”, continued to be called it. Also with the locking police press conference one remained during this representation. To the question, whether further civil policemen had been used under the demonstrator, it answered “Kavala” - boss Knut Abramowski: “.” How many, in addition he did not want to express himself however.

With the turn of the police many demonstrators have their problems. Statement stands against statement, but Lea Voigt, spokeswoman of “block G8”, is safe itself: With the flown up civil policeman it very probably concerned an inciter.

Ströbele: “Absolute Sauerei”

Whether that is reliable or non Christian Ströbele, and since last Saturday participant of the G-8-Proteste approximately around holy dam, has already an inquiry to the Federal Government because of the incident prepared vice-party head of the Bundestag Greens, in addition it looks for eye-witnesses. “That would be an absolute Sauerei”, says it MIRROR ON-LINE ONE - since yesterday also many policemen would in all other respects have said that during the blockades to him. “That would mean that this policeman would have called to the force against the own colleagues.”

Ströbele was constantly on its Mountainbike between the three points of blockade on the way. Legally, attorney Ströbele explains, “this man would have committed a clearly punishable action”. Politically however the thing weighs still more heavily: “If, the evaluation of many things tunes completely different background from the last days was naturally gotten.”

In the meantime the public prosecutor's office Rostock examines possible criminal determinations against the civil policeman. It concerns possible causing a criminal offence, confirmed senior public prosecutor Peter Lückemann on AP-inquiry a report of the “Hamburg morning mail”. Circumstances are examined criminally, it give however still no first suspicion.
