Protesters in Granada, Spain have gathered to protect cave dwellings as authorities move to clean and evict dozens from the ancient settlement. The City Council cites a lack of safety, but the cave dwellers accuse it of violating their human rights.
This week dozens of activists have been protesting the eviction from the San Miguel caves of at least three dozen people who live there.
On Thursday, the Granada City Council proposed providing social housing to those residents currently in the caves.
The Town planning councilor, Isabel Nieto, announced that the council had applied to the courts to carry out these measures.
This is the third attempt to clear cave dwellings in the past six years. Officials have repeatedly claimed that the homes built there run the risk of damage.
Juan Antonio Parra, one of the individuals representing the cave's community, rejects the city's claims, and tells RT that despite a declaration by the city three years ago that the dwellings ran the risk of collapse subsequent rainstorms have not damaged a single of the cave's residences.
