Location: Ernst-Kirchweger-Haus, Wielandgasse 2-4, 1100 Wien

An organiser from the Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC) campaign who served 3.5 years in prison for their role in fighting to close Europe’s largest animal testing laboratory, Huntingdon Life Sciences, will discuss the history, tactics and repression of the campaign. They will reflect on the role of the state, importance of solidarity and how lessons learned can be applied to today’s social struggles to make us more resilient and effective. The talk will include the latest info on the ongoing SHAC case against Sven and Natasha, who are facing up to 14 years in prison.
