Breaking News: 'Anti-Terror Info Camp' (updated)

Anti-Terror Info Camp
News from the Forest Rescue Station - a group of police and employees of Metsähallitus, the state logging company, have arrived.

They've started setting up what they're calling the "Anti-Terror Info Camp" - which seems to be a planned blockade of the Forest Rescue Station and a disruption of today's meeting between the Reindeer Herder's Association, the reindeer herder's cooperatives, and Metsähallitus.

So why do Metsähallitus want to mess up their own meeting? What's really going on here?

Latest word - the police are taking names of activists - but not of the Metsähallitus employees.

Hope to hear from you soon again. The question here is. I hope that also those which are not considered as "terrorists" will stay non-violent!

Good luck to all of you!
