LOCK-IN in SEVILLE
mangui | 22.06.2002 12:08
The situation is very unstable. At this moment, the church is surrounded by police, and those inside have no water, food, electricity or physical contact with the outside. There is the possibility that the bishop will speak to them. Several members of the press are inside and have conducted a press conference. The locked-in demonstrators are awaiting the arrival of lawyers from the Sevilla Social Forum and are deciding how to proceed. Their situation is extremely vulnerable.
Stay posted for updates.

update from lock-in
22.06.2002 13:07
There are several police officers inside the church, guarding the door and making rather erratic threatening gestures to the people inside. Outside, a large crowd of demonstrators continues to shout “No human being is illegal”.
Those locked in are hoping to convince the Social Forum organizers to reroute the demonstration this evening through the church in order to close the lock-in with a highly visible event.
