Persistent Harassment and Violence Against Residents of Corralones in Seville

• Residents of the historic 'Corralones' building in Seville have been subjected to renewed physical violence by an eviction service company.
• Two tenants sustained injuries to their lips and backs during the latest confrontation on Monday; police arrived at the scene but made no arrests.
• This follows previous violent incidents, including a July 25th assault where a property owner was arrested after causing nasal fractures, and earlier attempts to force residents out using pepper spray.

Background and Motivations

• The current property owner, Garages Santa Inés S.L., planned to sell the building for 12 million euros to hotel developer Arenas de la Bellida S.L.
• A specific clause in the sale contract requires the building to be vacant of all current tenants to facilitate the construction of a new hotel.

Community and Legal Response

• The Assembly in Defense of the Corralones has repeatedly stated that the private eviction firm acts solely as the "executing hand" for the property owners.
• Victims are filing formal complaints regarding the latest acts of intimidation, as the campaign to force them out continues despite escalating legal and physical conflicts.
