Germany: Last Living Barricade in Hambach Forest Evicted; Freedom for Jus!

Ger­many: Last Liv­ing Bar­ri­cade in Ham­bach For­est Evict­ed

July 28th, 2015

On the 22nd of July the tow­er – to this date the only remain­ing liv­ing bar­ri­cade – got evict­ed. The tow­er blocked an impor­tant access way to the Ham­bach For­est [pre­vi­ous­ly on S!N]and its occu­pa­tion.

Dur­ing the 14 hours of the evic­tion, four activists were arrest­ed of who three have been released, while one is in deten­tion await­ing tri­al in the JVA (jail) in Köln-Ossendorf. Jus is accused of resist­ing the evic­tion. The cops are try­ing to jus­ti­fy the deten­tion by claim­ing that Jus doesn‘t have a legal address and alleged­ly “no social oblig­a­tions in Ger­many”. There­fore, they think that it’s like­ly that he will “stay away from tri­al”.
