Church occupid by migrants in Zurich

20-12-2008 16:23

Today, Friday the 19th of December 2008, around 150 Sans-Papiers (immigrants and refugees without residence authorisation) and Swiss activists occupied the Prediger Church in Zurich. Exactly one year ago we occupied symbolically the cathedral Grossmünster to protest against the tightening of the law of asylum and the aliens legislation (Asyl- und Ausländergesetz). One year later we are outraged that the agency for migration in Zurich still keeps its inhuman and unreasonable migration policies.

Protest against Edinburgh City Council's funding cuts

20-12-2008 08:54

About seventy people attended the Edinburgh City Council meeting on Thursday 18th Dec 2008 in protest of the unfair distribution of the ”Fairer Scotland Fund", which would hit Edinburgh's most deprived area hardest, relative to previous regeneration funding. A banner was dropped and calls were made for Elaine Morris, the incompetent representative for the Forth area and chair of the finance meeting, to resign.
Amongst the groups and initiatives threatened with closure are new buildings costing millions - which are now left with no funding to staff and open the resources to the public.
However, 1.8m of the money allocated to Edinburgh under the grant scheme is still unaccounted for. Yet seventeen projects in the North Edinburgh area from Youth Groups to Elderly Project to Anti-racist initiatives and support networks for abused women are now threatened with closure.
