--------------------

Forced eviction on homeless labor by Osaka City Government
finally becomes a reality.

At Uthubo-Park (20 people live in the tent) and Osaka Castle Park (Five
tents are objects of the forced expulsion, among about 100 people living),
Osaka Government started the procedure of the forced expulsion for those of who sleeping in the park on this 5th January.

Speed of the procedure is so fast that eviction may be done on 20th to 23th January fastest. If this forced eviction is executed, it will be first case after "Homeless special measures method" enforced for Osaka City and since exclusion in Nagoya City Shirakawa Park on 24th January last year.

I report to have many people to take interest about this struggle.

The eviction of homeless people is correctly the justification of the
murder. This abnormal competitive world. The world that rich become more
rich besides the poor become more poor. The eviction is the death sentence
to those who is one of the maximum victims of such world ; the administration
saying, we deserts you. It doesn't care though it lives though it dies. The
way things are going, "Reason for killing one" is buried again by our
society.

Please give the voice of the protest from your place. Please extend the
hand of unity to poorest people.

contents and Photos.
