We have some messages and remarks in bulk to send you

– When you say that you are there by chance and that you just saw the protest pass by: no prohibition of territory
– The judge is the president of the court and he is known to be severe
– The persons who had sufficient guarantees of representation (see specific article) and refuse the immediate trials are not sent in detention before their lawsuit for and to say that one lives on the ZAD and one is domiciled by an association does not work to avoid the preventive confinement.
– The Prosecutor speaks about the National Police with a WE. He makes big speeches on the sacking of Nantes. Spread over the political context, he names many unrelated and very old facts (Labor Law, …)
– 8 CRS (police officers) came into the room to hear about the reports and sentencing
– REMINDER: Immediate trial can be refused when one is in court before the judges, at the beginning of the hearing, at the time the court will decide on the release or preventive detention (hence the interest of having papers which proves to him that one is a good and nice person)
– In court, we have the right to remain silent, to answer questions or to make statements.
– It seems that since the beginning of the events of “the labor law” they play the penalty “fixed package” and this time it is 8 months of jail …
– The courts have instructions for the judges and procecutor, even if they find inconsistencies in the cases, they condemn to fixed prison sentences.
– A cop pretends to be 2 different people as a civil party!
– The temporary incapacity for work that the cops state do not correspond to the alleged facts (like the injury is not where the hit by projectile was taken) but the person is still found guilty.
– There are many inconsistencies on the material evidence (clothes, objects, heads, …)
– To justify a passage for immediate trial the motive of the custody of a person was changed thanks to a phone call between the Chief officer and the Procecutor.
– The keufs are reluctant to report to the court their own videocontent to pass videos as proof.
– In the courtrooms there are really a lot of cops from different sections (Bac (criminal brigades), RG (infiltrators, intelligence agency), CRS (riot police), …)
– The military police can see through the clouds of teargasses!
– The prosecutor on a immidiate trial reused a lot the remarks held in custody and in particular the political remarks.

Call-out: to people who take pictures *. If you have images of arrests and the context before, can you contact us on legalteamzad [at] riseup [dot] net because the cops make a lot of false statements and it can help for the lawsuits. Mention the date, time and places for which you have images.

In particular, we are looking for images of the following two moments:
– behind the barricade of lascar (ZAD) for an arrest on Friday, April 13 at 6:40,
– in front of the Barricade de Lascar on Sunday 15/04 at 19h20-19h50.

– The first week of the evictions on the ZAD the military police were mostly in “advance demolitions” mode, this week they were much more focused on making arrests, pay attention to yourself and your compas.

– The military police often makes the strategy of generating a riot at one place to occupy the defenders and do something else further without being bothered. This is what happens when they kept us bussy at the barricade of Lascar without really doing anything.

– On the twitter account of the national military police one can find press releases and information on the state of the situation at la ZAD and the arrests made.

– At Nantes on saturday for the protest there were 40 cops from the criminal brigade of Rennes as reinforcement and cops were seen wandering before the protest with trombinoscopes (folder with pictures of faces of people).

– Really try to have guarantees of representation (see article on zad.nadir) or tell your friends where they are.

– If you can come to the area with the copies and not the originals of your permits, ID cards, … because the cops play at stealing our bags.

film the cops especially and try not to make incriminating images of the compas.
