STRASBOURG: A WORLD WITHOUT BORDERS Jul 26 2002
Bordercamp Grows Despite Ban on Protests

All actions and demonstrations relating to the bordercamp in Strasbourg were declared illegal on Wednesday, July 24. That day, a demonstration for freedom of movement was attacked with pepper spray, baton charges and tear gas, with more than ten arrests and multiple injured protestors. The ban of assembly was enforced on July 25 when media activists from the Publix Theatre Caravan and Indymedia were removed from the Strasbourg city center. Demonstrations have continued despite the ban, however, with prison solidarity actions and street theater.
This camp initiated by the NoBorder network, and organized by activists from across Europe. It opened on July 19, and has included demonstrations, workshops, and discussions around the central demand of 'Freedom of Movement and Settlement' for all persons. The camp's goal is to bring together activists, migrants and artists from across Europe in a laboratory of creative resistance and civil disobedience.
