In memory of Aneck E. – Racism kills!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

On 19.07. Aneck (35) drowned in the Pl\u00f6tzensee. Together we want to mourn him and express our shock that racism is killing people in Germany.
\n<\/span>
\nFor background: When Aneck drowned in Pl\u00f6tzensee, the lifeguard of the lido, Mike Z., was also made aware of it. Why didn’t he come to the rescue? Police and prosecutors say he was informed too late. But when the lifeguard was asked <\/span>to help, he had no way of knowing if it was too late. Was Mike Z.’s inaction racially motivated? The search for an answer must not hide the fact that Mike Z. was active as a neo-Nazi for years. He was a member of the NPD Neuk\u00f6lln and the comradeship “Freie Nationalisten Berlin Mitte”. We think that neo-Nazis should not work in helping professions: We want all people in need to be helped! This is not the first racist incident. Already last year there were reports of racist attacks and insults
\nagainst employees and a tenant of the beach bath. We do not want to accept such conditions. We wonder: did Aneck have to die because he is black?<\/p>\n

The police ended the investigation without answering these questions convincingly. Racism as a possible motive must be included in the investigation! Even after the NSU scandal, no consequences are drawn and racism continues to be ignored as a motive.
\nAlso in the media the neo-Nazi background of the lifeguard is hardly mentioned and disrespectfully reported about Aneck. The problem is not only the lifeguard or the tenants, because racism is everywhere in society! The fate of Aneck leads us to sadly
\nway that racism kills and is not responded to appropriately. Let’s not look away, something like this must not happen again.<\/p>\n

On 29.08. we, relatives, friends and supporters, will remember Aneck. We want to take the criticism of the investigating authorities to the streets and address the racist conditions in our society. Only when it is acknowledged that racism is a real problem in Germany can something be done about it together.<\/p>\n

We will meet at 17.30 Seestra\u00dfe, corner Dohnagestell, walk to the lido and after the rally we will go together to the accident site. Come in numbers and bring flowers and candles!<\/p>\n

\nEn m\u00e9moire d’Aneck E.- Le racisme tue!<\/strong>
\nLe 19.07.2014 d\u00e9c\u00e9da Aneck E. de suite de noyade dans le Lac ” Pl\u00f6tzensee “. Pourquoi devrait-il mourir, alors que sur les lieux se trouvait un maitre-nageur professionnel, qui fut interpell\u00e9 par les autres nageurs pr\u00e9sents au moment o\u00f9 Anek \u00e9tait en d\u00e9tresse ? Un maitre-nageur professionnel
\nn’est-il pas oblig\u00e9 de venir en aide \u00e1 toute personne en d\u00e9tresse ind\u00e9pendamment de sa race et ses origines ? Qu’est ce qui l’emp\u00eacha de lui venir en aide ? Cela a-t-il un rapport avec sa mentalit\u00e9 raciste ? Il en ressort qu’il \u00e9tait un activiste de longue dur\u00e9e de la sc\u00e8ne naziste.<\/span><\/p>\n

Juste quelques jours apr\u00e8s le d\u00e9c\u00e8s d’Aneck E., le procureur informa la famille au travers de la presse locale, que les enqu\u00eates contre le maitre-nageur avaient \u00e9t\u00e9 suspendues. Un homme de race noir mort noy\u00e9 en plein jour. N’est-ce pas une raison suffisante pour le procureur et la police de mener soigneusement des enqu\u00eates sur les all\u00e9gations de non-assistance en personne en danger ? Les autorit\u00e9s judiciaires ne devraient-elles pas se sentir interpeller, apr\u00e8s ce que la police et les services se se sont permis de produire apr\u00e8s les meurtres du groupe N\u00e9o-Nazi de la NSU?<\/p>\n

Nous exigeons plus de clart\u00e9!<\/strong><\/p>\n

In remembrance of Aneck E. – racism kills!<\/strong>
\nOn 19 July 2014 Aneck E. (35) drowned at a lido in Berlin (Pl\u00f6tzensee). Why did he have to die, even though a pool attendant was present and people called his attention to Aneck \u0301s drowning? Isn \u0301t a trained lifeguard compelled to help – regardless of a person’s skin color or origin, and not dependent on whether a person is a paying customer or swimming next to the lido? What kept him from coming to Aneck’s help? Is it connected to his racist mindset? After all, the lifeguard has been
\nan active member of the Nazi scene.<\/p>\n

Only a few days after Aneck \u0301s death, family and friends had to find out from the press that the public prosecutor’s office in Berlin has ceased all investigations.<\/p>\n

A black man drowns in the middle of the day in the presence of a lifeguard with Nazi connections. Wouldn \u0301t that be reason enough for the prosecutor’s office and the police to investigate the potential failure to assist a person in danger? Shouldn’t the authorities be on red alert after their complete failure with regard to the investigation of the racist murders committed by the Nazi terrorist group NSU?
\n
\nWe demand an explanation!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Together with Aneck \u0301s family we will take our questions to the streets and put pressure on the authorities. We know that if we don \u0301t our questions will never be answered. Support Aneck \u0301s family so that they can put pressure on the public prosecutor’s office in Berlin to undertake thorough and substantial investigations. Let \u0301s all fight together against racist realities in our society! Let \u0301s join the family and remember Aneck at the scene of the accident!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
