You can´t evict a movement – freedom of residence for everyone!

For about eighteen months the former Gerhart-Hauptmann-school at Ohlauer Straße in Berlin´s Kreuzberg neighborhood has been occupied by refugees from different countries. But on the 24th of June the district of Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg initiated the eviction of the school´s inhabitants. With 900 policemen, some of them heavily armed, the peaceful occupants have been forced to ‘leave voluntarily’. Some of them have been brought to special accommodations on the periphery of Berlin. Others, who were not inside the school at the time of the forced relocation are homeless now. They have been refused the right to stay in the state-run mass accommodations designated for asylum seekers.
