Manchester occupation of public space

05.02.2002 02:52

On Saturday 50 people gave Manchester's Free Trade Hall back to it's original use, taking this unique site, if briefly, out of the hands of private developers.
The building was occupied for three hours and banners were unfurled protesting at the sale and demolition of the building whose history bears witness to the stuggle for democracy. Watch a quicktime video of the history here and the action itself here
This one goes out to all people fighting for free expression and people power this weekend at the WEF protests and at the World Social Forum.
