This week, family members of @theulm5 and defense attorney Mathes Breuer (@rechtlinks) addressed the European Parliament in Brussels to outline the human rights violations the five are facing in their trial and in prison, while also highlighting the aim of the Ulm5’s action: to target weapons manufacturer #ElbitSystems for its role in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, which Germany continues to support and profit from.With support from Spanish MEP Jaume Asens (@jaume_asens) of the Catalunya en Comú party, the Ulm5 team called for international/UN trial monitoring, the recusal of presiding judge Kathrin Lauchstädt and her entire panel, confidential communication between attorney and client, removal of the defendants from the glass cage and handcuffs in accordance with the presumption of innocence, a full detailed record of trial proceedings (written or audio) and the the immediate release of the five defendants from pre-trial detention on bail.The disproportionate criminalization and preemptive punishment of direct action is a concerning trend seen in Germany with the #Ulm5, in the UK with cases such as the #Filton24 and in the Czech Republic with the #CzechElbit11.Next Ulm5 trial dates: June 15, 19, 29; July 1, 3, 22, 24, 27, 29 at Oberlandesgericht Stuttgart-Stammheimwww.ulm5.infoPhoto of Zo in court by @nachonal_geographic
