A num­ber of the activists who have been liv­ing in a tree camp near Brea­con, Wales, attend­ed a court hear­ing in Cardiff today to fight the pos­ses­sion order threat­en­ing to close the camp.
Activists from Cardiff Ris­ing Tide and Cardiff Anar­chists attend­ed to show sup­port and give out infor­ma­tion about the mas­sive pipeline mak­ing its way through the south wales coun­try­side and how wider polit­i­cal agen­das pushed by the G8 are destroy­ing the envi­ron­ment.

Unfor­tu­nate­ly, after about an hour and a half in the court, the pos­ses­sion order was grant­ed with imme­di­ate effect. An injunc­tion was also put in place against any inter­fer­ance with equip­ment used in the con­struc­tion of the pipe and against any protest with­in a cer­tain dis­tance of the pipe (any­one got more spe­cif­ic details than that?).

A num­ber of police offi­cers were also in atten­dance, film­ing and pho­tograph­ing any­one in the vicin­i­ty of the court “to ensure that an unbi­ased record” of the event is obtained, said PC Good­Cop. Obvi­ous­ly, its very impor­tant to get hours of footage of activists sit­ting on a wall, smok­ing fags and wait­ing qui­et­ly out­side the court. Ridic!

Sol­i­dar­i­ty with anti-pipeline pro­tes­tors. Fight the pipe!
