Responsible authorities claim that the raid was provoked by a punk concert taking place at Utkanten, a social center sharing the premises with the organization Forskningsavdelningen (but located in separate rooms).

However, one has to wonder who the real target of the raid was. Why would the police need IT specialists to raid a punk concert? Why would they remove several pieces of equipment and material of operational value from the hackerspace? And why would they photograph and ID the present members of the hackerspace, and generally treat them as hostile subjects? Was Forskningsavdelningen the real target - and was the official reason for the search malicious and intentionally false?

We are members of the Metalab, a hackerspace in Vienna - and as such a sister project of Forskningsavdelningen. Metalab is an organization that is privately financed as well as publicly subsidised and has been host to widely recognized talks, conferences, and other activities. Moreover, the Metalab has given birth to various commercial, civil, philanthropic and generally experimental social ventures of various forms. These kind of social and technological advances can only grow in certain environments, and the Metalab - like all hackerspaces - strives to provide such an environment.
