"Dear Members of the European Film Academy,
the following solidarity note was issued yesterday and read out at the Zurich Film Festival's special event held in honour of Roman Polanski:
As members of the European Film Academy and the European film community we protest at the arbitrary treatment of one of the world's most outstanding film directors. We declare our deep respect for our colleague and friend Roman Polanski and we demand his immediate release.
