Today/now.., without warning, Elba squat in Warsaw is being violently evicted. Elba is the longest running and largest independent cultural center in Warsaw.
This is a part of a Polish live report, translated with g00gl, source: http://poland.indymedia.org/pl/2012/03/55240.shtml
Please share info if you know more!
There’s an alarm call [in polish language] about eviction on their website : http://elba.bzzz.net
Elba was established in autumn 2004 and is run by collective of people who decide about the place by consensus. The collective include both people living here and people organising events and running workshops, all taking part in decision making.
They are involved in series of social and political actions, and we try to make our squat an active place, open for many different ideas. Among other things you will find here freeshop, bike workshop, rehearsal room, screenprinting workshop, climbing wall, skatepark, cafeteria and concert/perfomance room.
Hopefully more detailed information in english language soon.

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. [Read More]
