On Evictions

There should be no violence. No one should use violence. There should be no intimidation, no use of arms. We will obey, but we don't want to be forced or subjected to violence. If government evicts it must prepare relocation sites. This is what we say: the site is prepared when there are houses, roads, light, water, schools for the children, and travel to work must be easy.
