Photos - Oil Spill to save wildlife ?
03-02-2007 23:37
While a banner was dropped in the main hall and 600 leaflets handed out to members of the public, an oil like substance was sprayed over the wildlife photos in the Shell sponsored exhibition. There were a large number of security personnel present and some of the protesters were assaulted by panicking museum staff and members of the public but there were no arrests.
The action follows the publication of Shell's 2006 record breaking financial figures and the release of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change fourth report which yet again suggests that climate change is happening faster then previously predicted.

21,000 Troops To Become The Latest Guinea Pigs For Pentagon
03-02-2007 01:59
In light of President Bush’s determination to send an additional 21,000 plus troops to Iraq, regardless of the position of Congress and the American people, the citizens of the United States must be made aware of the ongoing experimentation and outright disregard for our American troops. With nearly thirty-six percent of our Gulf War I troops disabled, we must hold those responsible for such negligence accountable for these atrocities.Full article | 1 addition | 6 comments

Two Greek political prisoners are in the midst of a hunger strike. On Monday, one of them will be on his 67th day. They have been held in prison for over 8 months for participating in a demonstration at the European Social Forum. It is entirely possible that the Greek state will watch them die. It is time for London to stand up.
