Animal rights activists-process in the BAT Committee: Petrovic calls for enlightenment

WTV-President Madeleine Petrovic: „It is high time for a debate, and the compensation of the financial damage that has been illegally done“.

Vösendorf (OTS) – The persecution and trial of animal-rights activists were not outbid for Madeleine Petrovic, President of the Vienna animal protection Association (WTV), bullying, injustice, and arbitrary state action. After almost a decade, Causa has reached the BAT Committee and will be re-rolled.

Like many others, Petrovic hopes to at least partly belated justice, education, and consequences for those responsible: „There is in addition to the incredible scandal that young people have been wrongly held for extremely long in pretrial detention, and until today, in spite of the acquittal, no adequate compensation, General fractures of the rule of law, which is not clarified until today,“ the WTV-President.

Dubious Place Of Use

So the question is, why is the whole animal rights activists for Petrovic-process could ever be at the land court of Wiener Neustadt. „The procedure should have been in Vienna take place. Those responsible have used a previously legally set procedure against a certain Matthias P., does not come from the animal protection, quasi as a carrier rocket to drag the procedures of the obvious from the outset initiates Prosecutor’s office of Wiener Neustadt“, says Petrovic. That Matthias P. knew one of the animal rights activists, seemed to explain perfectly.

Petrovic: „This breaking of the rules on the territorial jurisdiction alone should immediately lead to the fact that the Republic were the damage in full. At least the financial damage to the Victims, the emotional damage can be repaired by nothing.“

Against the WTV-President was initiated under the break-up of the parliamentary immunity to a method aiding and abetting, which was then relocated, however, due to the criticism of the accused to the prosecution office, Eisenstadt, and set there, in conformity with the law in your favor without further proceedings. „It begs the question since then, but for me: it Has in Austria, there are no consequences to breaking the parliamentary immunity?“, so Petrovic.

Belated Justice?

For the WTV-President of the BAT should bring it to Committee, therefore, a late justice: „It is high time for a debate, and the compensation of the financial damage that has been illegally done“. On the other, all of which were involved in the persecution of animal rights activists at the time were not held accountable. „On the contrary, they, de facto, have been promoted. As one of the state’s attorney, of the had the questionable investigation procedures responsible was promoted, corruption public Prosecutor’s office,“ says Petrovic.

State failure is not a response to the animal protection
Case

And last, but not least, should finally be clarity brought to the Causa, and the failure of the Republic and its representative behavior to be elucidated completely. In addition, there are other injustices, to the detriment of the domestic animal protection movement, the need to finally be addressed. „The non-profit animal protection associations disappear in the court of wills, favor. But rather than repair the damage, to follow, in the name of the Republic of harassment by the state financial Procurator’s office“. „Many representatives of the Republic of animal rights activists, so get on injustice to be treated like enemies of the state, while it is actually the Republic was set up with your organs in the wrong. In the population, these things leave a bitter aftertaste,“ says Petrovic. The institutions of the government would therefore be well advised to sit down with representatives of the Austrian animal protection movement to the table and to have in the future Together and not Against each other take place. „We have signalled our readiness to do so for years and continue to do so,“ said Petrovic.
