Activists Relocated as Construction Begins on Brisbane 2032 Olympic Stadium
Heavy police presence and security forces dismantled protest camps and relocated environmental and Indigenous activists from the Victoria Park site in Brisbane, Australia. The clearance operations occurred just after midnight to allow the Games Independent Infrastructure and Coordination Authority to erect fencing and bring in excavation machinery for the $2.6 billion main stadium for the 2032 Summer Olympics. This follows the arrest of five protesters days earlier.
