Today, at around 7 o'clock (13th September 2009), the brand new squatted space was evicted by police. Around 25 people, who were occupying the house and sitting on the roof, were arrested. It was announced in the mainstream media, that they might go to court on Monday, for a summary jurisdiction.

In the evening, many people (probably around 70 persons) who were supporting the squat in the streets, were detained. Police used an extremely violent force and several different tactics and weapons. There are unverified informations about some injured protesters, but no serious injuries were reported.

It was also announced, that the squatters might reach a penalty of up to two years imprisonment.

Please, show your solidarity!
