Betuweline Eviction Alert!

The Arnhem judge has decided that the GroenFront! squatters in the Betuwevalley, Netherlands, had to be evicted. Eviction could commence as soon as Thursday 25th Jan. An anonymous source from within the police says to expect about 900 riotcops. This would be about as much as in 1997 with the first eviction of the GroenFront! camp near Ruigoord, Amsterdam. That took more then two days. Then there was one site, now there are eight squats at three sites... See http://www.antenna.nl/nvda/groenfront.
