Below we document the actions conducted in FRG and Austria of which we were informed about, in support of the Brazilian comrades and the Brazilian people and their struggle against the Olympic massacre. The actions were conducted in the last two weeks, the time period in which the Olympic Games were held in Rio de Janeiro and they are an expression of the spirit of proletarian internationalism to support the struggles of the peoples of the world, especially in the oppressed nations.

Bremen
In Bremen a Graffiti was painted at a professional school, it got a lot of attention in next day because of a big school festivity. The festivity was held because the school was chosen as a “school without racism” (an award given away by institutions of the bourgeois state). The Graffiti was also discussed in several classes of the school by the trainees and even several teachers spoke about the Graffiti. The debate among the students centered on the Olympic Games and the issue why it is an massacre. The response to the action was positive in general. The following week some cops came to the school and started to interrogate the students and asked questions about politically active students.
