/The Washington Post/ Features AP's Coverage of the Dale Farm Eviction
Crisis
March 12, 2008, Dale Farm UK and Washington, DC: In a Washington Post
article published on March 9 Iain Guest, Executive Director of The
Advocacy Project (AP), called on the British government to prevent the
eviction of the Dale Farm Travellers.
The article argues that eviction will create a medical and education
crisis and undermine the legal protection of Travellers, who are
recognized as a racial minority in Britain.
"It's more like a battleground than a housing development. Dale Farm
lies deep in the English countryside, about 50 miles east of London. You
enter through a makeshift barbed-wire gate, driving past gas cylinders
that were once stacked as a barricade against invaders and a large
banner ("Save Dale Farm") that has seen action outside 10 Downing
Street, the home of the British prime minister. Inside, 86 families are
steeling themselves for eviction."
