With their self-proclaimed „G20 Public Search 5“ the Task Force Black Bloc on Wednesday launched their five edition of their public witch hunt in which they publish photographs of (mostly young) protesters against the G20 in Hamburg in 2017 - without providing any concrete context or reason why they have selected exactly these (alleged) protesters - and asking the general public to snitch on them.

Yet again the pictures of 66 protesters, passers-by, residents and pedestrians are spread in the reactions desperate hunt to threaten anyone engaging in this kind of summit protests into passivity and towards turning on one and another. We strongly denounce this kind of terror consciously developed by the police in Hamburg, which by now is so obvious, that even broad sections of the bourgeoisie press by now are rejecting to publish the images provided by the police to not become an active accomplice in this practice.

And while the state is making all kinds of attempts to criminalize the massive protest against the G20 drive a wedge into the protestors, the pursuit of police brutally is – little surprise there – not very keenly followed up. Just today, a spokesperson of  the city of Hamburg announced, that from the 154 investigations against the police already 94 have been dropped.
