NoBorder Camp in Brussels, 25/09/10-03/10/10

February 21, 2010

Last Saturday (25th September) marked the start of the No Border camp in Brussels. As of this morning , Thursday 29th September, there are over 700 people on site, and more are expected tomorrow. The camp will conclude this Saturday with a demo through the centre of Brussels.

On Sunday there was a demo outside the closed detention centre Steenokkerzeel near Brussels airport, and yesterday (Wednesday), some No Border activists took part in the demonstration against austerity cuts organised by trade unions in the city while others protested outside Frontex, the European Border Agency (see report on the day here and a press release about police repression here). Meanwhile there have been workshops, debates and concerts both on the camp and at various locations across the city, including at the squatted Gesu monastery in the east of the city which is occupied by 130 sans-papiers.

Up-to-date news on the camp can be found on Indymedia Brussels and a programme of the camp can be downloaded here.

The camp's website is here, and below is the call out for the camp....

Support Dale Farm - film night Tuesday 2nd March

Dale Farm is a traveller site in Crays Hill, Essex which is home to over 1,000 people.

It was established in the 1970s by Basildon District Council but is now due to be evicted after the same council awarded the notorious Constant & Co a multi-million pound eviction contract in December.

On Tuesday 2nd March at 7pm we will be showing a number of films about Dale Farm and the eviction of traveller sites, and will be discussing how we can support the struggle against the eviction.
