Copenhagen: Ungdomshuset is fighting for survival
On the sixth of May 1999 the City Counsel voted to close the Youth House, an autonomous youth centre i Copenhagen (Denmark. The house is historic and was build by the workers movement over 100 years ago. In 1982 it was given to the squatters movement by the mayor (he later stated that it was biggest mistake in his career), and since then it has been working as a social centre, with concerts, rehearsal space for bands, performance art, peoples kitchen, cafe, infoshop and a lot of other things.

Surrey (UK): Diggers leave St-Georges Hill
The Diggers left their camp at Saint George’s Hill at 2.30 on Thursday 15 April [1999] after losing a possession order for the site.
The land rights activists took the memorial stone to the original Diggers to Elmbridge Museum, where it will stay until a permanent site has been found for it on Saint George’s Hill. They have left a temporary wooden memorial planted in the earth at their camp on the hill. The High Court master ordered that no eviction could happen before Friday 16 April, so the Diggers left this afternoon to avoid confrontation. They waved banners and were accompanied by musicians as they left. NOTES TO EDITORS Eviction notice — The originating summons was served at 7.15am on Thursday 8th April by agents for the North Surrey Water Company, whose land the Diggers occupied. It was heard in the Chancery Division of the High Court in The Strand on Tuesday 13th April at 10.15am by Master Muncaster. Camp contacts: Tony Gosling or Annie Merry 0961 460171.

London: 121 Social Center needs help
Hello friends
Here is the latest message from the occupied 121 Centre in Brixton. London.
We have now been in occupation, behind barricades, for 54 days but are expecting an eviction to happen at any time. The case was sneakily moved up from the jurisdiction of the County Court to the High Court last week so now the stakes are a little bit higher. [Read More]
Berlin: Charges Against ‘Interim’ Magazine Have Been Dropped
German authorities have suffered an embarrassing failure in their attempts to criminalize the Berlin autonomist periodical ‘Interim’. All charges against 14 individuals targeted in a series of highly-publicized raids in Berlin last year have been dropped. It seems the state’s intelligence agency could not find anything useful in the massive amounts of confiscated materials. Last June, 500 police raided a total of nine houses and workplaces in Berlin, looking for the alleged editors of Interim magazine. [Read More]
Maloka in Dijon (France)
Maloka is a french anarchist collective based in Dijon. We organize concerts (mostly punk/hardcore/ska bands but also tekno and raggae sound-systems, or anything independent and political), weekly vegan restaurants, a mailorder catalogue (records, books, fanzines…), some lectures/debates and some demonstrations from time to time. We also run an infoshop, along with the mailorder thing, and a small alternative library. We own a place in Dijon’s city center, which is fairly small, but which hosts most of the activities listed. We’ve been having this place for more than 10 years now, and it has become a nice anarchist center, which we share with other collectives: the CNT, le “Collectif pour des villes sans voitures” (Reclaim The Streets), “La Strumpetoj Ridegas” (an Esperanto group), both a feminist group and a pro-feminist male group.
From these different groups came the idea of squatting a place that would be bigger than the one we already had, in order to do more activities… That’s why the social center “Les Tanneries” was created. Here’s a brief summary of how it all happened… [Read More]

Police Fired Shots During Squat Eviction In Berlin
On Tuesday morning, February 24, a masked special police unit with automatic pistols burst into the squatted house at Pfarrstrasse 104 in the Lichtenberg district of East Berlin. One squatter watched as his bull terrier dog was shot three times and killed. Local authorities said the eviction proceeded “with few incidents”. 260 police were called in to evict 15 people from the house. Berlin’s right-wing Interior Minister, Jorg Schonbohm, commented: “With our action, we have made it clear that illegal conditions will not be tolerated in the capital. As Interior Minister, I will see to it that there are no more squats in the future.” [Read More]
New York City: South Bronx Squats Evicted
672 and 674 are the last two buildings left standing on 136th Street in the South Bronx. All the other buildings were leveled to “make room” for Robert Moses’ Bruckner Expressway. Allowed to become derelict, and then abandoned completely by their owner in the mid-1970s, these two buildings were taken over by a core group of tenants and urban homesteaders, who transformed it into the oasis known as ‘Casa Del Sol’ (House of the Sun). In 1985, New York City’s Department of Housing Development and Preservation declined to serve the residents of Casa Del Sol with an eviction order on the grounds that the residents had gained adverse possession of the buildings. Over the next decade, Casa Del Sol — in addition to providing affordable housing for over 50 low-income individuals and families — grew to become the home base for the Cherry Tree Association, the Casa Del Sol Spirituality Center, the Blackout Books Zine Library (since moved to ABC No Rio), and the United We Stand Garden.
