Hambach Forest occupation faces a major police clearance

← Terug naar het dashboard
📅 13 September 2018 📍 Duitsland

Police began clearing tree houses in Hambach Forest as RWE prepared to expand the lignite mine. The occupation had developed since 2012 and linked forest defense to climate justice and opposition to coal extraction. Local residents, environmental groups, and direct-action activists challenged the treatment of the forest and nearby villages as expendable.
