Polish Anti-road Camp Hit

At 4am on June 4, the eviction and clearance of Polish EF!'s St Anna mountain camp began, with residents isolated by a barrier and an official media ban. Over several days activists were violently removed by about 85 anti-terrorist police and climbers. Many trees were felled with their occupants still in them, and 24 arrests were made. On the final evening, activists planned to stay on the ground to continue resistance, but were attacked by the local skinhead group. Later, after collecting those who had been arrested, campaigners moved on - to occupy two houses in the nearby village of Wysoka, further along the proposed route. By the end of the month the bulldozers followed. They were originally held off by a barrage of stones from the rooftops, but eventually both houses were destroyed, once again with protesters still in them. Resistance will continue - further info and a video are available from EF! Poland.
