Letter of solidarity with tree-occupations against road-buildings

During the last weeks, at two different locations in Europe, trees have been squatted that would fall prey to the construction of motorways. On December 22nd, activists in Bexhill, England occupied trees against the construction of the Bexhill-Hastings Link Road and have erected an entire camp now. In Berlin, free-spaces-activists, together with environmental-activists occupied trees against the A100 that is to be built through the middle of Berlin. We, the squatters from the Hambach Forest stand in solidarity with these struggles and call for a practical support and for the creation of a network of these emerging spaces of resistance with each other and the creation of many new spaces like these.

Day 2 of eviction Hambach Forest / tunnel-system

14-11-2012 18:05 | Climate Chaos | Ecology | Energy Crisis | World

At the second day of eviction the cops evicted everybody from the trees. At the evening of the first day they evicted everybody in concrete-lock-ons. Now there's one activist in a blockade-tunnel rested. And police don't have any idea how to evict that. So it still can need some days.
Police that went down just said: "there's a huge tunnel-system, we don't know wich direction we have to go"
The occupation of the forest is against a coal open-cast-mine, that is together with two more of this, the biggest producer of CO2 in Europe. The dust of the pit is radioactiv.
