This weekend a large scale celebration and mobilization took place in Zad.
Several Thousands formed two marches, one through Zad and the second one through the surrounding villages, both of which joined in the center of Zad. Large wooden plane was burned while delegates from Chiapas and Basque country spoke and appeal to Zadistas and their supporters. There were at least eight bands from percussion and jazz to samba, all at least with 12 players with many more joining in. There was a carnival atmosphere and two large fields were occupied with large stages, victory disco and ringed in at least 20 collective kitchens info tables and kiosks. For next couple days assemblies took place with delegates from other struggles.
Today it has been 22 days since the Hambi4 got pulled out of their treehouses, tripods, walkways and tunnels at the entrance to Hambach Forest and sucked into the Prison Industrial Complex. They remain there 3 weeks later as a verbal request on the part of their defense for an inquest court appearance to consider the validity of their detention has been ignored and then denied. This opens their detention for at least up to 3 months pending trial with still possibility of additional time.
Plans to expand Frankfurt’s Airport’s third terminal and clear 6ha of mixed forest for the motorway connection have been put on hold by a over a month long now forest tree-sit occupation. Treburer Wald (Trebur Forest) between Zeppelinheim and Möhrfelden-Walldorf on the edge of Frankfurt is now a home to a group of activists living in 3 platforms and a treehouse connected by walkways with multiple banners bringing attention to the climate, pollution and noise impact of the airport.
