">>Location: Friedhof Hof, Chur, Switzerland<<
>>>Target: Daniel Vasella [15.08.1953], lives in Risch<<<

In the night of the 27/28th July, the Militant Forces entered the graveyard that contains the family graves of Daniel Vasella, CEO/Chairman of Novartis.

The first grave was rearranged as a warning for his coming 56th birthday. Plants were ripped out and two extra crosses naming Daniel and his wife Anne-Laurence Vasella were added to the grave. And the second grave - holding the remains of his immediate family - was dug in order for an urn of ashes to be removed.

--DROP HLS NOW--

On the 15th of August, this message was sent to Daniel Vasella's email:

'Daniel Vasella,
Because of you there are thousands of animals dying unnamed in mass graves, but yours was all too easy to find. If you wish the urn that was taken from the grave to be returned then you need to publically finish with Huntingon Life Sciences immediately.
You have 2 choices Mr Vasella: lose HLS or LOSE THE URN.'

We kidnapped the ashes of one of his immediate family members in order to teach him that in life and death all beings are equal and deserve to be treated so. Until he can show some respect for the animals Novartis sends to slaughter then we see no reason to respect his dead. It could be either of his sisters, one who died of Lymphdr�senkrebs or one who died in a car accident, or could it be his father who died unexpectectly after an operation when he was 13?

This time you've got the chance to receive back your family's urn in exchange for dropping HLS for now and for ever, Daniel, and if you don't act fast enough we can just empty the urn in the closest TOILET...

August 18, 2009 - NOVARTIS STINKS

The Swiss newspaper 20 Minuten has reported that butyric acid was used to vandalize a Novartis office in Bern during the night of August 14.

anonymous report:

"Switzerland (Ticino):
In Juny seven letters with bullets inside were sent to the main characters of the MA TI SA (Ticino's new slaughterhouse which will become the main slaughtering centre of the region).

In the night of 4-5 July once again the big banner (last remaining) of the falconry was completely destroyed."

anonymous report:

"Solothurn, 20th. 05. 2009

Three incendiary devices under the three cars of Bruno Heynen, Board of Directors of Novartis.

Dealing with HLS means dealing with us!

For the animals, for the earth
Animal Liberation Brigade"

anonymous report:

"Windows smashed and spray painted at two butchers in Tesserete and Rivera, and some walls and vehicles spray painted at one fish 'farm' in Sigirino (Switzerland)"

anonymous communique:

"Before visiting the scum of the Novartis headquarters in Basel, Switzerland we went out to a deer farm and cut the fences and opened a big gate so the deer could escape in freedom. These deer could run into freedom, but the animals inside HLS can't. They need all of us to close the hell hole. We will take them straight on.

At around 3am after waiting for Ann Bailey, head of corporate communications of Novartis AG, to finish with her guests we slipped around her house and we painstripped her car and slashed her tyres.

Dr. Erwin Schillinger, director at Novartis AG was next. We poured paintstripper and spraypainted on his car.

Next scumbag of Novartis AG who had to pay was Michael Pluess. He got the front of his house spraypainted saying 'Novartis SCUM, Drop HLS'. Afterwards we paintstripped the 2 cars in front of his house and slashed some tyres.

Muhleweg 19, Therwil

The last murdering scumbag of Novartis AG we visited this night was Giacomo Di Nepi, Head of Transplantation. We walked up the path leading to the house and covered the big white house in slogans.

Better take the message on your wall saying 'Novartis scum Drop HLS, we are watching you ALF' serious. We hid a electronic explosive device somewhere within your property/garden. Better be carefull where you walk.

Lives of animals are being teared apart inside HLS, murderers like you won't get away with it.

Giacomo Di Nepi
Kanelrain 8, 4106 Therwil

The fight continues, we will take every opportunity to bring fear into the lives of the murdering scum of Novartis workers, just like the animals feel fear inside the labs of HLS. Try and stop us Novartis, you can only stop us by stop using Huntingdon Life Sciences."

April 30, 2009 -- Butchers Painted Red

During the Easter holiday, windows, walls and several vans at two butchers and a fish shop in Ticino (southernmost Switzerland) were damaged with red paint. Slogans were also painted, such as "A morte i macellai" ("To death the butchers") and "Bastardo di pescatore" ("Bastard fishermen"). In a claim of responsibility sent to newspapers, the Animal Liberation Front promised, "Slaughtered animals you will be avenged."
