Please come to 46 Sweets Way (N20) at 6am Thursday if you can, to help keep Mostafa in his home until Barnet find him somewhere suitable to go! ------- This morning it began. Dozens of bailiffs and Met police arrived, flanked by ambulances, apparently prepared for injuries. After a brutal day in which multiple occupiers were arrested, Sweetstopia was evicted, as was the People's Regeneration Show Home. But Mostafa and the Sweets Way Resists community house remain. We expect bailiffs and police to return tomorrow (Thursday) morning and need support. Please come to 46 Sweets Way (N20) at 6am Thursday if you can, to help keep Mostafa in his home until Barnet find him somewhere suitable to go! Here is our statement from earlier in the day: https://sweetswayresists.wordpress.com/2015/09/23/sw-eviction/ Here is coverage from the Guardian: http://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/sep/23/sweets-way-occupiers-report-violent-clashes-during-mass-eviction-london …and the Independent: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/bailiffs-wearing-riot-gear-drive-out-anti-development-protesters-occupying-london-estate-10514225.html …and City Metric: http://www.citymetric.com/horizons/todays-forced-eviction-sweets-way-could-include-estates-last-disabled-resident-1427 And LondonLive: https://twitter.com/LondonLive/status/646665381063426049 and https://twitter.com/LondonLive/status/646642396562743296 Mostafa is back in his home now, with his sons, and several supporters who are staying with the family in this urgent moment. Barnet Homes still claim the property they have offered Mostafa is fine and that it doesn’t need to be wheelchair accessible inside, and have given him until Friday to accept it. Given that he could be evicted tomorrow (Thursday), this is not acceptable! Join us at 6am tomorrow at 46 Sweets Way (N20) to stand with Mostafa and keep the bailiffs away until Barnet Homes have found him a truly suitable place to stay!
