U.S. Prisons Used to House Muslim, Animal Rights and Environmental Activists

14-04-2009 18:18

The government is using secretive prison facilities on U.S. soil, called Communication Management Units, to house inmates accused of being tied to “terrorism” groups. They overwhelmingly include Muslim inmates, along with at least two animal rights and environmental activists.

Little information is available about the secretive facilities and the prisoners housed there. However, through interviews with attorneys, family members, and a current prisoner, it is clear that these units have been created not for violent and dangerous “terrorists,” but for political cases that the government would like to keep out of the public spotlight and out of the press.

Earth First! Occupies Director's Office at E.On HQ (Netherlands)

14-04-2009 17:16

Four activists from GroenFront! (the Dutch Earth First!) occupied a director's office at the head office of energy giant E.On today in Rotterdam. The activists told the people working at the office that they were looking for the directors for a 'serious chat' about the planned construction of a new coal fired power station in Rotterdam. Although legal issues should have hindered E.On on starting construction at the site, work has has been pushed ahead regardless. Activist Roos van Dijck: " Building a coal fired power station now is criminal, solving the climate crisis starts with keeping coal in the ground. "

The four activists occupied the room of Chief Financial Officer Markus Bokelmann. Although he has various books on sustainable businessing on his book shelf, he doesn't seem to be able to put this into practice yet. Police arrived after a few hours and arrested the activists. None of the E.On directors were willing to participate in a conversation about the planned construction of the power plant.
