The Dutch news papers Parool and Trouw published some nice articles about DAY 1 (6th of March). With some big sized pictures they must have attracted some attention of the Dutch public, I believe.
The Dutch news paper Metro published a photo of the start of this event in its Amsterdam edition.
The Dutch weblogs Houtlust and Kozia Górka dedicated both one of its articles to this action.

* Amnesty International considers that a "disappearance" has occured when there are reasonable grounds to believe that a person has been taken into custody by state agents, yet the authorities deny the victim is held, thus concealing the victim's whereabouts and fate and placing the victim outside the protection of the law. The word is placed in inverted commas by Amnesty International to indicate that it does not accept official explanations that these people have simply vanished.
Amnesty International only uses the term "disappearance" for cases which fit this definition and involve government forces. Amnesty International opposes "disappearances" in all cases.

Hey Hitch-Hikers,
It was so nice to have you all here in Bonn! Hope you enjoyed the drink, food and the "candlelight" atmosphere ;).I think the loooongest petition was actually quite a good success.
We will send some pictures asap!
Good luck and always remember Douglas' words: DON'T PANIC ;).

Hey Ina,
We really liked the action and dinner in Bonn!We got pictures from the petiton, which looked really nice :) - I assume they will be on the blog tommorow. Anyway, we had a nice ride today to Hannover (after we had waited at a gas station for more than two hours). It´s also good to hear that people from Dresden will be coming to our action in Berlin as well.
