on the temporary closure of the Tschönki Room (consumtion room)de »zur vorübergehenden Schliessung des Tschönkiraums«
The leaflet describes the positive beginnings and the current situation (threatening police raids, media campaign, lack of support from the AJZ's patronage), which led to the temporary closure of the Tschönkiraum (self-managed consumption room). The decision was taken together with (some of) the junkies concerned.

merkwürdig still ist's in der stadt gewordende »merkwürdig still ist's in der stadt geworden«-- »strangely quiet it has become in this city«
The Arbeitsgruppe Drogen (Working Group on Drugs) of the Zurich AJZ is organising a "Drug Week" together with the Drogengruppe Zürich (Zurich Drug Group), an association of various organisations involved in movement-related drug work. The aim is to discuss the issue of drugs in general and how to deal with drugs in the movement. The context is police checks and media reports about the situation in the "Tschönki room", which was more than just a consumption room, but above all the fact that the drug problem was increasingly concentrated in the AJZ due to repression in the city.
