Council set to evict Camp Sovereignty
|
Union Solidarity is concerned by news that the Melbourne City Council are planning on evicting the Aboriginal people currently camped in Kings Domain (Melbourne). Supporters of the camp have spectulated that eviction could occur over the weekend. Reports are that the police visited the Sovereignty camp this morning (Friday 7 April) warning that they will return with legal papers to close the camp down.
Indigenous activists have kept the camp going since the end of the Commonwealth Games. It has been called Camp Sovereignty and has become a meeting place for both indigenous and non-indigenous people since a sacred fire was lit there last month. Rightwing commentators in the local media have been campaigning during the week for the camp's removal. Union Solidarity supporters are urged to stay in touch, visit the camp and keep informed about the situation. Useful sites: Indymedia | Black G.S.T |
