Defend the freedom of speech.
The Danish police have banned this
appeal from "Rebellion" and tries to
remove it from Danish web servers. The newspaper
dagbladet Arbejderen (The daily
worker) has placed the document on its server and is now being targeted by
the police, who demand its removal.
- We will defend the freedom of speech and
refuse to remove the document. It's a dangerous step towards censorship
and police state methods, if the police and the court start to interfere
with what is being printed in the newspapers or placed on the papers
internet sites, states the editor Birthe Soerensen.
That’s why the newspaper has placed this site
on web servers worldwide and urges others to do likewise. A list of the
servers can be seen at

The ‘war on terror’ threatens us all – defend
freedom of expression, human rights and international solidarity!
Appeal from ‘Rebellion’ (Denmark) to European movements
The Danish association ‘Rebellion’ appeals to all European movements for
democracy and international solidarity to join it in challenging national
anti-terrorist legislations, the ‘terrorist list’ of the European Union,
and the so-called ‘international war on terror’.
Through present anti-terrorist legislation, European states have attempted
to curb the freedom of expression and the political rights of their
citizens, including their right to extend moral and material support to
resistance and liberation movements.
In the past year ‘Rebellion’ has publicly, and in direct conflict with
Danish anti-terrorism legislation, transferred substantial funds to the
Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and the Revolutionary
Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). An important criterion for our choice of
organizations is that they seek to further secular, democratic, and
humanist goals.
The Danish Ministry of Justice and police authorities have as yet not
raised criminal charges against ‘Rebellion’. In order to further such a
step, both the Colombian ambassador to the Nordic countries and
vice-president Santos have had talks with officials from the Ministry of
Justice and the Minister of Foreign Affairs in Copenhagen.
We appeal to other European organizations to join us in a continuing
challenge to European anti-terrorist legislation and the ‘terrorist list’
of the European Union.
We envisage the following elements in the campaign:
- Collection of funds within each country with list of those willing to
stand forward as signatories. It would be inadvisable to open accounts, as
these may be subject to seizure.
- A goal of at least 100 signatories and at least 1000 Euro within each
participating country should be set. Involving prominent citizens in the
initiative would be of great advantage.
- Publication of the initiative within each country when these goals are
met, or at whatever time seems appropriate within the national context.
- Conference of all participating organizations to be held in Copenhagen,
perhaps in November, where a collective transfer of funds to resistance
and liberation movements is announced.
- Publication of a conference manifesto on the so-called ‘war on terror’,
reiterating solidarity with the international struggle against
illegitimate state power and foreign occupation.
We hope that this appeal will be welcomed by your organization, and that
the initiative will be taken up and developed in as daring a manner as
possible within each national context.
