Hamburg: Demonstration wegen der Tötung Achidis nach Brechmitteleinsatz

RACIST KILLING OF AN AFRICAN BY THE GERMAN POLICE IN COLLABORATION WITH
SOME
MEDICAL DOCTORS IN HAMBURG

Black Community's Call for a Spontaneous Demonstration
Friday 14th December 2001, 15.00 h
Meeting Point: Metro Station (S-Bahn) Dammtor in Hamburg
March: From the University Campus to the Institute of Legal Medicine
(University Hospital)

Once more, the German Police is Responsible of the Racist Death of an African. The worst thing this time is that, some German medical Doctors have
helped them in the killing. On Sunday 9th December 2001, the police arrested
our Brother Achidi J. (19 years old) and took him to the Legal Medicine Institute of the Hamburg University Hospital at Eppendorf (UKE).
Together with some doctors working in this institute, they used violence to
forcefully give him a vomiting product. Short after our Brother felt into
coma. Today, Wednesday 12th, he was officially declared dead. Now, neither
the Police nor the Doctors are taking responsibility for the killing of our
Brother. During the today's hearing and debate at the Hamburg Regional
Parliament, leaders of the ruling coalition (liberal, right and
far-right racist parties) didn't express any regret about the killing of our Brother. On the contrary they fully supported the police officers and doctors who perpetrated the murder and ceaselessly repeated that they will
continue with the forced administration of this vomiting product to.

The Hamburg Doctors Chamber ("Ärtzekammer") has always and systematically rejected the use of this vomiting product and said his
utilization by any member of the medical profession without the consent of
the patient is contrary to the medical ethic which is to cure not to harm,
to heal not to cause the death of someone, regardless of his/her origin, race and believes. But, Prof. Küschel, the Director of the Legal Medicine
Institute disregarded the clear position of the Doctors' chamber
and he has been carrying out this inhumane and racist policy since many months
now. And even after the death of Brother Achidi, he went ahead with the
dirty and criminal job and he proudly and arrogantly told
Representatives of
the Black Community that he is committed to continue doing so.

Spontaneous Demonstration:

Friday 14th December 2001, 15.00 h
