Solidarity with am*dam
11 Jul
On the 5th of july 11 squats were evicted in Amsterdam. In front of the Schijnheilig, a squated political/cultural freespace, people resisted the eviction by putting up barricades and blocking the streets. The police cleared the streets with extreme violence and then mass-arrested up to 150 people.
Everyone that was identified has been released. Some that have been accused of violent disorder have courtcases coming up, more information on that as it comes in.
Right now 8 of our friends have been transferred to foreign detention centres because they refused to identify themselves. There they can be kept for up to one and a half year.
We want our friends to be released NOW.
The 5th of july solidaritynetwork website is here to gather and centralise all information about our friends in prison and to report about all solidarity actions that happen.
