House search in Awiro

Yesterday, Tuesday, November 10th, 2026, the State Criminal Police Office forcibly gained access to the club rooms of Awiro e.V. in Rostock, a place for open, self-organized youth work. The accusation is that civilian state security cops from Rostock were outed last year:https://de.indymedia.org/node/503631 

At around 10 a.m. the bull pigs drilled open the doors and got into the club's premises - without waiting for legal representation! With the help of the public prosecutor present, a printer and other equipment were confiscated. The aim should be to read out the connection data and the internal memory. 

During the house search, the street was completely cordoned off, a drone flew over the street the entire time and a helicopter later circled over the house. This criminalization, this parade makes us angry and shows once again how the state is taking action against left-wing places. We won't be intimidated! 

We defend left-wing spaces in our city and everywhere!

People gathered on site in a very short time to show solidarity with the association and the project. We will not allow such attacks by the cops to happen secretly! It hit a project, meaning all of us! 

For this reason, more than 200 people gathered for a spontaneous event that same evening and marched loudly through the district, past the Bullenwache on Ulmenstrasse. Bull pigs out of our neighborhoods!

Antifa from Rostock

Here we document a speech by Awiro supporters: 

    "We are here today to show our solidarity with Awiro. It is clear to us:

        Today's attack is not just on this one important project. This attack is aimed at all of us who advocate an open, emancipatory and fairer society and defend self-governing youth spaces.

        There were two house searches today - one concerns a militant neo-Nazi group that presents itself abroad with swastika flags (https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/mecklenburg-vorpommern/hausdurchsuchungen...) and the other is us. 

        The other thing is us, who keep an eye on the Nazi structures 365 days a year and prevent right-wing terrorist attacks. The other is us, who are a contact point for young people and all their problems 365 days a year. The other is us, who provide resources 365 days a year so that marginalized people can participate and have a voice! The other is us, who defend a safe space 365 days a year for people who step onto the streets in fear. The other thing is us, we who voluntarily write applications 365 days a year, clean the dirty toilets and even in the year 2026! MUST print out billing forms! The other is us, we who live democracy 365 days a year - in hour-long meetings in which every little topic is treated as if it were a matter of life and death. The other is us, who fight 365 days a year for a better here, a better now and a better future. 

        Your answer Repression can't stop us!

        Alerta Antifascista - you pigs!"
