Here’s a burning issue that needs your attention: check out
http://forum.isratrance.com/viewtopic.php/topic/68128/forum/1 for the full downlow.
In brief, just looking at the pictures http://www.techno.cz/party/report/2005/0730czechtek_t-rex/index12.htm it is obvious enough that the details need not be known to know that the police have gone too far!
I am going to send this letter written by Shahar to various EU departments and embassies, and urge you to do the same:
Dear Sir,
I was shocked to read and see on TV the incident in which Czech police forces raided a dance festival on Saturday July 30th near the village of Mlynec in southwestern Czech Republic.
Pictures showing marching armies using tear gas, water cannon, stun grenades and batons on young happy people who have come to dance in nature and do harm to no one reminded me of dark times in history and dark scenes in futuristic apocalyptic science fiction movies.
I couldn't believe my eyes, especially when the pictures were coming from a country that has suffered so much oppression in the past, has such good reputation as a pleasant place, and has just joined the European Union.
We young people today love to dance outdoors to music that might sound weird to you- we mean no harm- on the contrary- others can learn a lot from us on the atmosphere and good will that can exist between people.
I am not familiar with the circumstances, but the pictures speak for themselves- no matter what, it is completely unacceptable to see armies march in brutality against happy dancing people.
Until I am convinced that this was a one time mistake and that the people in charge are punished and the matter is acknowledged by the Czech government publicly, I will refrain from visiting the Czech Republic.
Sincerely,
This can be sent to:
Mr. Cyril Svoboda
