INPEG has received reports from protestors who were jailed and have now been released. The reports have confirmed that many arrested demonstrators have been denied basic human rights in jails such as access to food, water and sleep, and some have also been severely beaten. See our September 28, 2000 press release for more information.

International Support
If you're outside the Czech Republic, organize a rally at the Czech embassy in your country. A large group of Spaniards pressured the Czech Embassy in Spain to release Spanish protestors from jail. On September 28, Spanish protestors were released, but many chose to stay in jail as an act of jail solidarity, demanding that arrested protestors of other nationalities get the same treatment. Similar protests outside of Czech embassies have been organized in Barcelona, Paris and Oslo.
