Illegal Eviction and deportation of French protestors sheltering in disused building, in the run up to the Laarken Summat Protests/

At 7.30AM on the 13/12/01,the police evicted sleeping protestors from 121 Trone Street.
This building was temporarily occupied by thirty French protestors who needed shelter from the freezing night.
Yesterday evening's temperature was recorded at minus 3 degrees centrigrade, and as the Belgian authorities have refused to facilitate any form of shelter, during the Laarken summat, the freezing December temperatures are forcing demonstrators to seek shelter in disused buildings.
This morning the French occupants were evicted illegally, and are being taken to the French border then deported, without charge.
This situation shows that once again justice is suspended, just when it suits our glorius leaders and our basic rights as citizens are as usual, ignored.
