[Cologne, 22:30h] Some 300 people in the camp are being brought tonight to the prisoners collection place in Cologne - Bruehl. These are the people who refused being id-checked and filmed/photographed.
They had been surrounded by up to 2.500 policemen on the camping ground during the whole day. Several watercanons and heavy demolition trucks are still present. The police built a fence around the resisting campistas right on the camp ground. These soon imprisoned people had simply refused to pass an identiy check in the late afternoon/early evening.
The persons who agreed to get identified and filmed could pass a checkpoint to leave the camp. Police announced they are allowed to return at midnight.
This is the heaviest repression attack on a noborder-camp in its long history. The police is speaking of 70% of the campistas being criminals.
The 60-70 Nazis could without problems demonstrate against the camp, while the whole camp was "under arrest".
