16-07-2005 16:48

[Disclaimer: I have tried to make light of last week's experience in Strathclyde Police cells but this in no way reflects the serious torment I, and my fellow G8 protestor detainees experienced. I wrote the following as my clown whilst actually in the cells and the act of writing was therapeutic for me during an intensely dehumanising experience.]

submit your G8 story

15-07-2005 11:47

we are a group of people, based in Manchester and Leeds, who hung out
together during the events surrounding the 2005 Gleneagles G8 Summit

We are putting together a collection of reflections by people who also
protested against the G8.

That week of working, living and laughing together reminded us that our
desires and dreams can come true, and we're confident many others had
similar experiences. We want all these voices to be heard.
