About 8pm, in front of our building appeared police patrol car. It’s not an extraordinary situation, so apart from informing my mates I didn’t care about it at all. After 20 minutes prisoner van came and the policemen started breaking into the building. They even didn’t try to talk to us. We usually don’t let police in, and they are aware of it. When we noticed what was going on we started informing our mates and press. We live on the first floor. The entrance to our flat constitute metal Door and a valve. When they broke through the first door on the ground floor I called police officer and told him about it. Apparently, the patrol that came after my notification actually helped the rest instead of confirming the authenticity of my notification. After approximately 30 minutes they managed to get to the valve. We have recorded the conversation \uffff between one of us and the police. [an excerpt: Please give your identification number, or show us search warrant , (policeman) I'll show you this fucking search warrant as soon as I meet you on the street, buddy. Nice, huh?] After some time they realized that we were recording this talk, and They ordered us to let them in otherwise they’d call fire brigade to help them enter our flat. We asked about search warrant once again or giving identification numbers but as they didn’t want to give it, we didn’t open the valve. After 30 minutes fire brigade came. At first they tried to break into using crowbars. As they didn’t manage to get in, they decided to use a hack saw. When we heard what they were going to do, some people lied down on the valve. We informed firefighters about it and asked them to stop because they may hurt someone. [Their answer- So be careful guys, it will shake you a bit! ] They started to strike the wall with the hammers and lever the valve with crowbars at the same time. In the meantime we started to barricade- we placed on the valve furniture and container with propane- butane (we also informed them about it). Suddenly someone who wanted to defend us started pouring them with water, as a result of it the hack saw stopped working.
