Waiting for news, we communicate that, around 6am of the morning, the Digos [political police] has searched many occupations (Asilo, Barocchio, Mezcal, Askatasuna) and houses, arresting three people, notifying some house arrests (it seems they’re four people) and to others, the requirement to sign in at the local police station. The repressive operation it’s a revenge for the riots occurred on the eviction of L’Ostile [last december], the restricted measures are emaned by PM Rinaudo. There’s a public assembly today afternoon at Mezcal squat to organize future iniziatives.

Attestation of l’Asilo Squat:
At six of the morning, Digos and forces of police came in front of Asilo Squat: “It’s for a notification” they said to the occupant, that came after police intent to break down the front door. In fact it was not a simple notification, it was a search with arrest of one of the occupant, and we actually don’t know why they arrested him, with what charges and without knowing if and when he will be released.
Police and Digos have broke down many doors with hammers and metal bars, insulted and jostled the occupants, guilty of reluctance to open the door to the police.
Same searches are happening in Barocchio and Mezcal Squat, other two occupated places in Grugliasco and Collegno, and in private houses.
The hypothesis is that all the matter is about riots occurred at half december in Turin, followed the eviction of the occupated place L’Ostile.
While we write, the police is going out from Asilo, and in the meantime they’re searching in Barocchio and Mezcal Squat.
