On December 31st 09, the Brugge court gave a verdict concerning the 3
previous occupiers who signed a contract with the owner, GDF Suez, and
also concerning the eviction notice for the present occupiers of the
Lappersfort. According to the judge, Suez can not hold the 3 previous
occupiers responsible for the new occupation, and therefore their claim
against them has been dismissed.
However, the judge has declared that the eviction notice issued in 2002,
during the first occupation of the Lappersfort, is still valid and may be
used to evict the current occupiers. This, despite the fact that the first
eviction notice was issued to 13 people identified by the court, and who
were threatened after the first eviction with a €50,000 fine if they
re-entered the forest or were involved in any other actions against
Fabricom / Suez. None of these 13 people have anything to do with the
current occupation and therefore an eviction notice based on a verdict
passed against them should not be able to be used against us, the present
occupiers. Suez had, before this trial, apparently already approached a
bailiff with the eviction notice from 2002, but the bailiff refused to
enforce it, as it was doubtful whether they could still legally use it.
The judge's verdict on the 31st has given them blatant right to enforce
this notice, claiming that the right to private property is one of the
pillars of our society and therefore must be upheld by the law enforcers
blablabla.
As it stands, Suez now have a notice allowing them to evict the
Lappersfort, which they will have to present to a bailiff who will then
have to activate the remote-control pig circus. We are on eviction alert
every day, and are well prepared, after 16 months of occupation. We're not
sure how long the process will take from here, and we now need more humans
inside the forest, aswell as others supporting from the outside. If Suez
wants to destroy the Lappersfort, now is the time to come together to make
their job as difficult as possible.
Love respect and solidarity to our friends in Titnore Woods (england),
Desdelsboscs (spain), Mainshill (scotland), Tasmania (australia), also
under eviction threat; to the people of the Brazilian Amazon fighting
against the GDF Suez Jirau dam project, and to all other humans defending
wilderness and nature across the planet....

This morning (Thursday 7th), the police snipped open part of our fence and broke their way in to the forest
BeantwoordenVerwijderenOn December 31st 09, a judge of the Brugge court ruled that the eviction notice passed against the occupiers of 2002 may still be used to evict the present occupiers of the Lappersfort. On Tuesday last week, a representative robot from Fabricom GTI was quoted in the media saying that they would follow the judicial path, and were planning to sit down and discuss the eviction with the Brugge police. This claim that they will follow the "legal" path isnt something we're relying on, and we are expecting an eviction any day now. This morning (Thursday 7th), the police snipped open part of our fence and broke their way in to the forest. Four of them had a little piggy tour, taking photos and being generally mysterious and stupid. One of us heard them sneaking around in the night, which means they must have cut the fence at night then snuck in during the morning. As the police start doing such things here, and the fact that Fabricom Suez already has an eviction notice, can only make us think that the eviction is just around the corner.....
IN THE FOREST, WE NEED MORE HUMANS WILLING TO STAY HERE A WHILE AND DEFEND THE FOREST AGAINST THE POLICE IN CASE OF EVICTION.
OUTSIDE THE FOREST, WE NEED MORE HUMANS WILLING TO SUPPORT FROM OUTSIDE, TO COME TO BRUGGE AND DEMONSTRATE ON THE DAY OF EVICTION, AND TO TAKE SOLIDARITY ACTIONS AGAINST FABRICOM GTI AND GDF SUEZ. FOR A FREESPACE IN THE WOODS AND FOR THE WOODS, AND FOR WILDERNESS EVERYWHERE, LAPPERSFORT WON'T GO OFF WITHOUT A FIGHT.....
