Squats in Berlin Evicted

Around 2,500 police officers were deployed across Berlin to evict sqatters from one of the city’s last surviving squats. Police used an axe and a battering ram to break down the door of Liebigstrasse 14, in East Berlin. Disturbances broke out around the building, Liebigstrasse 14, as the 25 residents refused to leave. It took over five hours before police were able to fully reclaim the property because squatters had ripped out staircases and built extra walls to prevent police from reaching them. click here for more
