From Contra Info:
On August 5th, 2013,
at about 6.30am, uniformed and plainclothes cops raided and evicted
three squatted spaces in Patras, namely Parartima squat on the corner of
Corinthou and Aratou streets, Maragopouleio squat on Gounari street,
and the Self-managed Hangout inside the Technological Educational
Institute (TEI) of Patras. All three squatted spaces were evicted and
sealed off by police.
The repressive forces, aided by municipal authorities, confiscated
various materials from the squats (including the equipment of the Patras
free radio station Radio-Katalipsi 93.7FM), and even sealed up the
entrance of Parartima squat with bricks.
A total of 16 comrades were detained: 5 squatters who resisted the
raid from the rooftop of Maragopouleio squat, as well as 11 solidarians
who tried to approach the squat while the eviction was underway. Soon
thereafter, the 11 solidarians were released, but the 5 squatters from
Maragopouleio are facing charges and were kept in custody at the police
headquarters on Ermou street, where comrades held a solidarity gathering
earlier in the morning. Also, at midday, a counter-information
gathering took place at Olgas square.
Later the 5 arrestees appeared before public prosecutor and were all released, scheduled to appear in court on August 6th.
