Statement on the police action of 25.11.22 against unauthorized demonstration in Basel
On Friday, November 25, an unauthorized demonstration in Basel ended violently. After about 200 people gathered on the Theaterplatz around 7 p.m. on the occasion of the International Day against Violence against Women, the Basel City Cantonal Police used various means such as rubber bullets to break up the demonstration. According to the police, dialogue with the demonstrators had been sought beforehand. It seems grotesque: On the same day, the cantonal police went public with the campaign "Halt Gewalt" (Stop Violence) - and on the same evening, they reacted with violence to the demonstrators, who drew attention to the same problems.
COP27: Progress despite standstill
The results of the COP27 climate conference are mixed: With the adoption of a Loss & Damage fund, a historic step was taken towards climate justice, but there is stagnation on climate protection. Our comment on COP27: "Although the countries of the global South are the ones that have hardly contributed to climate change, they are the ones most affected by the climate catastrophe - this also applies to young people and future generations. Binding global rules are therefore needed that immediately hold the perpetrators of the crisis accountable."
