The Camp de Bourdonette in Lausanne was evicted this Tuesday morning, and a peaceful demo (no teargas!) took place in Lausanne [video].
People are starting to evaluate the last few days. Although all demos in the last days started off cheerful and full of positive vibes, many people were injured during the anti-G8 demos by massive police teargassing, rubber bullets and concussion granades [report]. Peaceful protesters have stated their solidarity with the blockades carried out by Black Bloc activists. A disobedient solidarity action has taken place in Barcelona when 21 activists occupied the French consulate for 12 hours. Whilst in Berlin 40 activists just returned from Geneva demontrated outside the Swiss embassy, during which, the Swiss embassador stated his rejection to the police violence during the G8 summit..
