PRO-EUROJUST ORGANISE AMSTERDAM POLICE RAID
On 17 January 2001, police in Amsterdam raided a legalised squat
and
arrested Juan Ramón Rodrìguez Fernández, wanted by the Spanish police
in connection with the separatist Basque group ETA. Up to 200 Special
criminal investigators and riot police entered the residential area at 3.30
a.m., searching all 14 appartments, and allegedly leaving a woman
needing stitches after she was struck by a police baton. Several Spanish
books, two mobile phones and a toy gun collection were confiscated by
the police. Fernández was visiting Amsterdam on holiday.
The raid was organised by the provisional "Eurojust" EU prosecutions
unit. "Pro-Eurojust" was created in December 2000 and will be located in
the Hague when a Council Decision is rubber-stamped by ministers.
Currently comprised of a prosecutor from each member state, the unit
handled 170 cases within its first year. It is technically an EU Council
working party with a mandate to facilitate cross-border investigations
and prosecutions.
Activists in Holland suspect the raid was carried out in order to harass
and discredit the squatters, whose premises had been referred to as a ´no-
go area´ for the police. Under the recently agreed European Arrest
Warrant, which will enter force in 2004, the Dutch police would have
been obliged to pick-up and hand over Juan.

Eurojust.

Mijn nederige excuses dan maar. Ik heb de kop direct overgenomen van het bericht dat ik binnen kreeg. Te lui om het om te zetten, vandaar. Daarnaast schreeuwt dit bericht toch ook om aandacht, of zie ik dat nou verkeerd.

I thought it was clear that none of the 14 apartments were squats was raided by the polices!
So NO squatters were involved!

Indeed, there are no squaters invloved from the Vrankrijk. All appartments in the Vrankrijk are legally rented. The house is owned by the occupants.
Exept in this story the girl who got hit on the head (and had a severe concussion) was a squater, and alot of the people who where outside supporting, where also squaters.
To set the record straight.
