Helsinki: Eviction at squat Kattila!

This morning around 9am police invaded squat Kattila. Many comrades were arrested at the house. Most were already released before noon, but one comrade is still in custody.

All kinds of solidarity are warmly welcome! [Read More]

Something must be done! [Read More]
