Media Release - Monday 19th January 2009

ONE MORE FLORENTINE ARREST THIS AFTERNOON

 

 

A forest defender was cut off an excavator and arrested at midday today in the Upper Florentine Valley. The activist had locked onto the machine at 7:30 this morning to highlight critical community concerns with current roading operations in the valley.

 

This morning's action follows a mass community walk-in yesterday, when over 500 people peacefully occupied Forestry Tasmania's new logging road, halting all operations for the day. 28 people have been arrested since last Monday's police raid on Camp Florentine
