apartment and taken to solitary confinement. his crime was guilt by association- three
academics were also arrested- the accusation against all seven is:-

The story has been making the rounds for some time and has popped up on indymedia
UK and here on this newswire in the comments section:-

Andrew was released:-

This is is letter to thank supporters, he does not really dwell on the personal suffering
caused to his wife and young kids, nor the fact that she is too a writer and activist who
has lost her whole data bank and had her computer seized.

The backround on the usage of terror laws against the left is on:- http://einstellung.so36.net/en

The protest by the American political Science Association is on:-

If anyone wants to help one of the contacts who is disseminating information has contacted
a EU feminist site and asked for translators in Spanish/Castellano/French and Polish.

They ask that people with translation ability go to the einstellung pages and pick up the
information and help with translation services- send to einstellung.net

a C+P from Andrej's Letter;-

'"Every sign from outside, every small mention in the papers about a solidarity action,
every new signature to the uncountable protest declarations, and every letter that
reached me in my cell showed me that I am not alone in y powerlessness against
the investigative authorities"

Andrej is on temporary release and must still fight the charges.
He has a young family and needs translation support and solidarity messages.
Please Help!
