## TRAVEL INFORMATION BY AUTOBUS, TRAIN AND CARS ###############################################
All over Germany and also from some european countries there are published in the internet many travel opportunities by bus where activists can check in for a small price. And Attac for example organizes Special Anti-G8 Trains to Rostock. When you are coming from other countries you have to be aware that there will be border-controls, like the german Minister of the Interior already announced.
Before reaching Rostock and all around Rostock at the streets and autopistes leading in there will be massive police controls. Also the police could say to you when you're coming by autbus that you only could go the the parking place in the industrial area near the first starting point of the manifestation which starts outside the city - even if you want to travel to the second manifestation at the central railwaystation in the inner city ("Auftakt 2"). But also near the Central Railway Station there is a big parking place for autobusses and in the south from the City of Rostock there are more parking-places.

## Camp, Barrios and Sleeping-Places in Rostock #############################################
In Rostock some City-Train-Stations ("S-Bahn") away from the Center of the City will be a Camp with Thousands of sleeping places. There are different tends for Reunuions, meetings, information-events and a n Indymedia-tend with internet connections.
How to reach the camp: from the Rostock central railway station you go by City-Train (its a fast train in the city, all city-train-stations are marked with a sign with a green arrow as) in direction to "Warnemünde" (see routes of the trains at the maps at the train-stations). You go by the train to Train-Station "S-Bhf. R-Bramow" or to "S-Bhzf. Marienehe" where you go out. From "S-Bhf. Marienehe" you go over the rails than you go right, you cross the emty parking place and than you have to go along the streets "Fischerreihafen" and "Schlachthofstrasse" until you see signs which will lead you the way to the camp. From "S-Bhf. R. Bramow" you go along the street "Schwarzer Weg" in direction to the harbour, than you go left to the "Schlachtstrasse" and there you will see signs which will lead you to the Camp.
At the Camp there will be different "Barrios" organized by different spectras and movements from the different countries. In these areas at the camp - the "Barrios" - there will be informations events and discussion reunions and film and cultural programms. Drinking and meals (food not bombs) will be organized by the camp organization together will the structures from the different "Barrios". Because there is not so much money its asked to spend a little money for the camp structure if you can afford for sleeping in the camp. sanitary installations as toiletts and shower are prepared.
As known until now there are the following areas/barrios in the Rostock-Camp, more Barrios are planned, so watch out for more informations:
++ Barrio Junirevolte (Socialist Youth Organization from the PDS | http://www.smash-g8.de/ ) ++ Barrio Rojo ("Internationalist und Revolutionary Barrio" | http://www.antig8.tk/home_en.php ) ++ Yellow Barrio (Student activists | http://block-g8ucation.org/ ) ++ Hedonist International Barrio ( http://www.hedonist-international.org/?q=en/node/156 )

## ANTIREPRESSION ##################
During the action days against G8 there will be "Legal Teams" (german: "ErmittlungsAusschuss"/"EA") who can be reached by telefon all around the clock. The Legal Teams are in contact with many lawyers who will go to help the arrested/prisoners. The telefon number will be published the following days at the homepage of the Legal Teams/"ErmittlungsAusschuss".
The telefon number of the legal teams also will be announced during the manifestation, at the convergence centers and at the camps. please write down this number (at paper or your skin of your arms). if you or your comrades get arrested (also if your just in the way travelling to Rostock) call this number and say the names and birthday of the arrested persons. This will give the laywers the opportunity to ask for the people at the police prisons. if somebody gets released he or she should call again immediately the number of the Legal Teams/"Ermittlungsausschuss" to tell them that you our your comrade with that and that name and birthday did get released. This will help the lawyers to reduce needless work.

Many informations about the german laws concerning the protest against g8 and how to act at manifestations you can find at the homepage of the Red Help Association or will be distributed at the different convergence centers in different languages.
The Red Help Association exists in nearly all cities in germany and is a anti repression organisation where people from all different spectras of the leftwing movement from germany work together and which supports people from all different leftwing spectras if they are under repression by the german state. The Red Help for example helps by financial support of 40% of the bills of lawyers and fines. The money almost comes from the membership-fees from over 4.500 people. But the Red Help Association this year reckons that there will be a need of a lot of more money because of the estimation of perhaps heavy repression and many prisoners of the upcoming anti-G8-protests to support all people. For that there exists a donation acount of the Red Help Association.
