Groot kraakpand in Polen illegaal ontruimt
pollie - 13.12.2004 16:07
Zaterdagochtend 11 December heeft de poolse politie een kraakpand in Częstochowa illegaal ontruimt tijdens een muziek evenement. Mensen die in het pand aanwezig waren zijn op zeer geweldadige wijze uit het pand gezet en gearresteerd. Men vraagt om solidariteit en hulp. Onder de engelse tekst staan de adressen en telefoonnummers van de betrokken autoriteiten. Maak tijd vrij, wees solidair en make that call count!
On Saturday morning (11/12/2004) police attacked the Częstochowa squat in Poland during an music event, forcing everybody outside of the building, beating and arresting about 80 people of whom 12 are still imprisoned. There is a call for international solidarity. They need help and support, make that call count! See telephone numbers of autorities below.
Squatters are being forced to take away equipment
De politie zegt te handelen aan de hand van informatie over drugshandel, maar het lijkt overduidelijk dat het gaat om het in de kop drukken van de politieke en cultureele activiteiten die al 3 jaar lang in het pand plaats vinden. De politie heeft rond de 80 mensen gearresteerd en er zouden op dit moment nog 12 mensen vast zitten. De politie heeft naast 2000 złoty, 3 computers en 100 bierflessen in beslag genomen.
The police say they act on alleged drug charges and they're spreading reports about drug charges in the media. The real reason for the attack on the centre is presumed to be its cultural and political and Food Not Bombs activities.

Testimony by the alternative, pro-freedom movement in Częstochowa
On Saturday morning (11/12/2004) during a music party, with the presence
of artists from France, Germany and Poland, at the squat in Częstochowa
on Warszawska Street there was a police intrusion. The police, without showing any warrant nor following legal procedure, chased everybody outside. During the search, some people were beaten. Everyone was chased outside - residents were not permitted to enter their residences. The police stole about 2000 złoty (500 euros) from the cashbox.
The Częstochowa squat has been running for three years, during this time
there have been many cultural events, concerts, talks and lectures there.
For two years the people at and around this place have been providing meals to the needy from autumn (fall) through to spring.
Both squat residents and their friends judge the behaviour of the police to be that of occupants in a subjugated country, and the attempt by the police to pacify independent social and cultural action is a sign of a police state. The report by the police alleging large quantities of narcotics is considered by us to be laughable and unfounded. We wish to stress that the police evicted everyone from the building - during a long period of time the police were alone in the building. The claim about finding narcotics in the building is judged by us to be an amateurish attempt to justify this illegal action.

There were initial reports that about 80 people were detained.

Now it seems that 12 people remain detained. In addition to stealing 2000 złoty (500 euros), it seems that the police also stole 3 computers and 100 bottles of beer. Reports that the police carried out the attack in violation of the law continue to be made.
