Statement by Anonymous Quebec Anonymous Op Safe Winter Montreal - Press Release Friday - January 9, 2015
7:00 PM ET Anonymous watched with outrage as the SPVM (Montreal
Police) on January 7th brutally attacked the homeless encampment at Viger
Square, removing the homeless people living there and destroying all of
there belongings. Op Safe Winter Montreal was particularly outraged
that all of the material that we had provided to the Viger Square encampment
on December 23rd was confiscated and disposed of. Quebec is currently in the
midst of a severe cold weather period, with temperatures plummeting to life
threatening lows. Raiding encampments and destroying precious cold weather
gear belonging to the homeless is an act of war against the poorest of the
poor and could easily result in the death of these vulnerable individuals. Anonymous will not stand by and allow the SPVM
(Montreal Police) and the City of Montreal to attack homeless camps in the
middle of winter. We call on everyone in Montreal to occupy Viger Square on
Sunday - January 11, 2015 to re-establish and protect the encampment
there. We will create a sanctuary for the homeless, protect the encampment -
and begin providing basic services to them such as serving hot meals.
Everyone should make there way to Viger Square on Sunday morning, bringing
with them cold weather camping gear and supplies - and be prepared to live
there with the homeless people until our demands are met. Everyone should
also bring with them protective gear such as gas masks, material for
building barricades, and anything else that might be useful in defending the
encampment should it be attacked by the SPVM (Montreal Police). Anonymous demands that the government of Montreal
enact legislation creating a permanent moratorium on the raids of homeless
encampments from December 1st to March 1st during which time the SPVM
(Montreal Police) will be strictly forbidden to attack or harass any
homeless encampment within the City of Montreal. Until this demand is met,
we will continue to occupy Viger Square, protest in the streets of Montreal
- and attack the cyber infrastructure of the City of Montreal and other
entities as we see fit. We Are Anonymous - We Are Legion - We Will Not
Forgive Attacks On The Homeless - We Will Not Forget The Heartless
Destruction Of The Viger Square Camp City Of Montreal & SPVM....Expect Us ------------------------------------ Web Site -
