NEWS AND UPDATES

Franz Jägerstätter - patron saint of refuseniks! With astonishing courage Franz taught us how to say ‘No’ to immoral promises and immoral wars. As citizens, taxpayers, or soldiers, and above all as Christians, the best honour we can pay him is to learn in our time, whatever the cost, to say NO to war and to build instead a culture of peace.” 21 November 2007

Support total objector Jonas Grote: the repeated military arrest is clearly used to force him to change his convictions. This is unconstitutional according to the German constitution, and a violation of article 18 paragraph 2 of the ICCPR. 14 June 2007
Not in a soldier's name
He wasn't a pacifist. He'd done his military training. Franz Jägerstätter was a devout Catholic, a peasant farmer with a wife and children. He knew the difference between a just and an unjust war. When Hitler attacked Russia, he said: "This is aggression. I will not serve."
