Maloka Anarcho Collective -URGENT- french squatted social center facing destruction -URGENT-

‘Les Tanneries’ -squat in Dijon, France- is facing eviction. We need your support !

Hi everyone ! Here’s a little text about ‘Les Tanneries’ which is a squattted building in Dijon, France where we -Maloka mostly and other collectives- organise gigs, conferences, theatre performances and various workshops. This place used to be a slaughterhouse and had been empty for 5 years. We’ve been using the space (actually not all the buildings but the offices, the housekeeper’s flat and a barrack) for almost 2 years and really been living here for 8 months. We’re a diy-anarchist collective of people running an infoshop and a non profit mailorder. We’re also putting out a newsletter every 2 months or so about different struggles worldwide (It’ll be in English some day hopefully…) and we’re into several activities such as demonstrations and what’s mentioned above.

Surrey (UK): Diggers leave St-Georges Hill

By: xxx - April 28th, 1999  Filed under: News

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.

Berlin: Charges Against ‘Interim’ Magazine Have Been Dropped

By: xxx - March 10th, 1999  Filed under: News

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)

By: xxx - February 28th, 1999  Filed under: News

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]
