What about PROSA? What about FFII, green party, liberals? what about

Ok, within the AK Vorrat we found the idea of organizing parallel
demonstrations in all european capitals at the same day nice, but we
planned this for summer or something.

About this urgent issue, I will send an alert to two different
international distribution lists: EDRi and the ad-hoc-working group we
found, and which actually got a name: "International Internet Defenders
Platform" (IInDeP.org).

We wil concentrate on coordinated european-wide demos in summer, but
this time, press-releases will be an adequate way.
