Dedicated to critical cultural production at the intersection of art and activism.

Yesterday, Tadzio Mueller, one of the editors of Turbulence: Ideas for Movement appeared before a judge to redress his arrest by undercover police the day before.  Tadzio, a spokesperson for Climate Justice Action, is one of hundreds detained for their criticism of the climate talks.  In specific, it is rumored that his arrest is related to his public statements about organizing a People’s Assembly of demonstrators inside delegates’ meeting place, the Bella Centre, though police are yet to state a reason.

Fellow editors have issued an open letter petitioning for his immediate release, demanding:

• The immediate release of Tadzio Mueller and all other climate prisoners;
• A halt to the criminalisation and intimidation of activists, including the pre-emptive detaining of protesters in Copenhagen;
• The immediate re-instatement of accreditation withdrawn from NGOs and other critical voices at the Climate Summit

At the time of writing, their petition has 2256 signatures.  Add your name to the list here.
