> Hello friends and supporters,
> This morning at 6-30am 150 riot police backed by an armed squad and a
> helicopter sealed off Railton Rd, Brixton and adjoining streets before
bursting into
> 121 through the first floor window. Within minutes the 8 occupiers had
been
> removed and the council went about trashing and barricading the building.
A
> van of police continue to guard the building 16 hours later. Another van
> load have been stationed at the Town Hall building to guard against
> anti-council action. Protests and other actions against the eviction and
> planned auction of the building are currently being put together.
>
> We are asking people to join the howls of protest against the council's
evil
> actions and the continuing gentrification of Brixton. You can do so by
> emailing the people listed below on our our hit list or by joining an
> international fax protest planned for this coming Monday 16th August. The
> protest is aimed against the following people whom we ask that you send a
> nasty message (or black fax). This is a legal action so fax-
>
> Lambeth Legal Service- The people who put the case against 121 and the
> eviction together. Fax- 0171 926 2313
