the square is fenced off. three activists remain in resistant positions. no arrests. brian haw still there, and unaffected by operation. villagers have declared two call-outs for action. tomorrow (tuesday) and on saturday.

the democracy village has now been almost evicted in an operation lasting more than three hours and involving about 50 bailiffs accompanied by around the same number of police.

the woman d-locked to the scaffolding A-frame has just been cut loose and escorted from the square. a man who had been on top of the kitchen area with a megaphone was surrounded and brought down about half an hour ago.

two people, a man and a woman, remain on top of the A-frame, and bailiffs are trying to get ladders up, but the ladders are being pushed away.

another man remians on top of a high pile of fences on the back of a lorry. again, he has managed to push away ladders and no bailiffs have been up with him, although the lorry driver did climb up and remonstrate with him for a while, threatening to drive off with him on board. fortunately, the driver did not carry out his threat.

the six foot high fences are in place around most of the square. brian haw's display remains intact and the fences dip inside the square where his provisions spill onto the square.

the villagers have made two call-outs in response to the eviction.

first, they are calling for an immediate day of non-violent direct action and 'peace strike' around the square, parliament and downing street. activists and media are encouraged to join them all day in affinity actions.

second, they intend to continue to hold the weekly saturday afternoon 'people's assemblies' that they inititated.

if the square is not available for a people's assembly between 1 and 5pm this saturday, then they are asking people to come instead to 'victoria towers gardens' which is a pleasant riverside park just west of westminster along millbank.from one o'clock, the assembly will plan its response to the eviction and will plan the next step in the process of stopping the afghanistan war, an aim with which the majority of the british population agrees.
