Swiss squat illegally evicted [en]
groene voltage - 12.07.2007 16:33

On July 10th, "La Tour" was illegaly evicted in Geneva, Switzerland.
Here's a brief summary of events and a call for international
solidarity.


Genève, la Tour evacuated and others to come

Thank you for passing on the message to as many as possible

Evacuation of the Squat, La Tour
July 10 2007

On Tuesday morning at 10:00, the police invaded "LA TOUR" under the
pretext of carrying out an identity control!

This, so called, identity verification was followed by the arrival of a
bailif who preceeded to proclaim that the house was abandoned (the
inhabitants being held at the police station).

Following the declaration by the bailif, a removal company were
immediately called upon to start emptying the house of all its contents,
throwing everything they deemed to be worthless in the back of a skip.

Upon the commencement of this enforced and illegal evacuation, a crowd of
approximately 200 people gathered outside the building. The crowd at first
protested peacefully against the evacuation. A demonstration then took
place at 18:00 which lasted until 22:00 and involved the flaming
barricading of surrounding roads, throwing of missiles, smashing windows
and even the overturning an unmarked police car. The police responded by
making a succession of charges upon the crowd and firing tear gas.

A total of 19 arrests were made, with a number of people still being held
at this time. - A number of enforced DNA samples were taken. - One
inhabitant was held for 36 hours - Many of those involved in the protest
were condemned for rioting, agression against the police, violating public
property and breaching the peace.

WE ASK FOR YOUR ACTIVE SUPPORT
In view of its imminant evacuation (Planned for the morning of Monday 16
July), the squat, Rhino calls for a gathering at 18:00 today underneath
