Lappersfort Update- Noise Demo Tomorrow
Lappersfort | 03.04.2009 14:52 | Ecology | Free Spaces | Repression
A trial was held today in the Brugge courthouse for the two Lappersfort occupiers, Sophie and Pitree, who were arrested on tuesday night while riding their bicycles back to the forest. Occupiers and other folk went along to the courthouse to make some noise and show solidarity with their friends.
The judge decided they must be detained longer to give the police/repressive scum more time for "further investigation". They are maintaining their accusation that the two girls had been skipping at the Delhaize in Assebroek, which is obviously made up and is simply being used as an excuse to hold them longer in prison. The only evidence they claim to have is some footprint on the wall by the skip in question.
As this is being written an appeal process is going on, to request a second opinion from another judge. We cant say yet what the results are, but if the appeal is unsuccesfulk the two will have to wait ANOTHER MONTH WITHOUT TRIAL to receive their next judgement....
The developments of police repression against the Lappersfort occupiers in Brugge could not only threaten the action camp and the forest, but may also set precedents for further arrests and charges involving skipping/dumpster diving...WE SEE THIS AS A CLEAR AND ROTTEN ATTEMPT TO CRIMINALISE A WAY OF LIFE, TURN PUBLIC OPINION AGAINST US,TO WEAKEN SUPPORT AND DEMORALISE THE SPIRIT OF THE ACTION CAMP ITSELF....
SO... AS SOPHIE AND PITREE SIT IN PRISON, WE WILL GATHER TOMORROW (SATURDAY) AT 13:00 AT BRUGGE TRAIN STATION AND NOISILY WALK TO THE BRUGGE PRISON, TO SHOW OUR SOLIDARITY WITH OUR FRIENDS, WITH DUMPSTERDIVERS EVERYWHERE, AND AGAINST THE ONGOING REPRESSION BY THE POLICE STATE.....THE FIGHT FOR THE LAPPERSFORT FOREST WILL NOT BE STOPPED BY STUPID ARRESTS AND POINTLESS REPRESSION BY POLICE ANYWHERE…….
after the demo all are invited back to the Lappersfort forest for some yummy hot soup, campfire and all the rest of it, and are welcome to stay as long as they wish...
RE-CYCLE, CREATE, FUCK THE STATE!!!
RED HET BOS!!
