Eviction of Manchester Airport
Two out of the seven camps in Bollin Valley were invaded on Tuesday
morning at 3.30am by the eviction mercenaries. There are still people down
tunnels at Zion Tree (Friday morning), but Jimi Hendrix has been cleared.
Work started at a third camp, Wild Garlic on Thursday afternoon.
The remaining camps are still accessible so please get up up there to
support and resist, alternatively see below for solidarity action
possibilities.
Two people were remanded in prison for 7 days for breaking bail, they
will then appear in court where they face further imprisonment. One is
refusing food until she is certain that it does not contain genetically
engineered / altered material.
