Squatters Removed From 2530 Cambie by Riot Cops

Squatters Removed From 2530 Cambie by Riot Cops

At 5:00pm the Vancouver Police Department sent 40 officers in full riot
gear, equipped with tear gas canisters and rubber-bullet guns, into the
Women's City Hall Housing Takeover at 2530 Cambie Street.

Barricaded into the second floor of the building, the eight remaining
protesters sat together repeating, 'there are eight of us here, we are not
resisting arrest' as the cops struggled to get into the room. All eight
were removed from the building - only one was arrested.

To date there have been four arrests during the City Hall Women's Housing
Takeover. Three supporters were arrested earlier today and one of the
occupiers was arrested coming out. All four are still in police custody
and legal support is in place, working to get them all released.

There will be a meeting of the Anti-Poverty Committee tomorrow, Thursday
November 2nd at 6pm at 327 Carrall Street.

Thank you to everyone who came and supported our sisters and brothers
inside the building and out.
