“No Borders, No Nations, No Coal Power Stations”
Mural on a building in Luetzerath, Germany which has been seized by police.
The entire village of Luetzerath is slated for demolition to make way for the expansion of an opencast lignite mine.
For the past few years activists have occupied the largely abandoned town to prevent its demolition.
In recent days police from all over Germany have converged on the village as part of a major operation to attack the fortified protest encampments.
There are still ongoing battles in the area, as thousands of armed police are attempting to evict the remaining defenders.
