During the last days there were many so called controls „without suspicion“ in the area around the occupation. The police controlled cars, bikers and pedestrians alongside the public streets if they fit a certain outer appearance. This morning our friends at the occupation were finally wakened by police surrounding our treehouses and destroying the traverses between them. A reason for the eviction was not given eventhough we asked repeatedly; finally, one person was as nice as to tell as that there would be just no reason at all.
As
on the ground the first of several persons was arrested and our
friends were carried away, climbers from the police started to charge
the treehouses.
It seemed as if there was no money for an
approriate manlift, instead someone came up with the idea to use a
wheel loader's bucket and tie a ladder to it. This construction is
not only life-threatening for us, but also for everyone who is
around.
Secondarily, more persons got arrested on the ground.
Their phones were taken so that they are neither able to stay in
contact with us nor to phone their lawyer as would be their
right.
The happenings of the past few days (see blog and
twitter) are therefore not, as police tried to convince us, just
random occurences. Also, the point in time just before the start of
the Waldwoche can't be understood as coincidence.
We will not give in
to this new wave of repression! We will come back and we will squat
again and again until brown coal mining is finally stopped!
Join
us at the police station in Weisswasser to support our prisoners,
make solactions, follow our blog or twitter for the latest
information and visit the new squat!
We won't bounce back!
