ARRESTANTENSTEUNGROEP AMSTERDAM
Use your right to remain silent! There is no such thing as a 'safe' statement

Linkse Hulp and the Arrestantengroep are campaigning together to draw
attention to prisoners' statements made to police and judiciary.

Lately a number of activists have made statements when they were arrested, despite the fact that you always have the right to remain silent. We advise everyone to make use of this right.By making statements to the police or judiciary, no matter how innocent your comments might appear at first sight, you will be endangering not only yourself but also your fellow activists.

Do not contribute to your own and each others' convictions, but use your right to remain silent!

This is a lot easier if you are confident about why you are keeping your
mouth shut, so get informed beforehand!

Brochure by Linkse Hulp with lots of background information explaining why it is better to remain silent.

Chapter 5 from the book "Tips against Bars" about interrogations and how to arm yourself against them. (In Dutch, translation coming up)
"Do you love your freedom and do you want others to have theirs? Then make use of your right to remain silent during an interrogation! After all, you didn't get this right for no reason, even the lawmakers and the police realize that 'owning up' usually means doing time."
