If you really want to know your rights when it comes to protesting check out Green and Black Cross legal advice.

See previous police leaflet distributed on Jan 19th - pdf link to new leaflet on MET police website.

Sexual Prey in the Saudi Jungle

29-01-2011 02:34

He was an officer in the Saudi Royal Navy assigned to the strategic Saudi base of Jubail in the Persian Gulf. She was a single mom from Mindanao, in the Philippines, who saw, like so many others, employment in Saudi Arabia as a route out of poverty. When he picked her up at the Dammam International Airport in June, little did she know she was entering, not a brighter chapter of her life but a chamber of horrors from which she would be liberated only after six long months.

REVOLUTION: Can Egyptians revolt?

28-01-2011 23:45

DOWN WIT HOSNI-MUBARAK
Inspired by the Tunisian example, Egyptians take to the streets in their own protest. But can it last? ... The traditional wisdom has always been that Egyptians don't revolt simply because they are an agricultural society. Farmers require stability and patience to tend their land. Farmers also need a strong central government to protect them against natural disasters, such as floods and droughts. Egypt is no longer an agricultural society.

Transport from Bristol to World Day anti-vivisection demo and march in Manchester

28-01-2011 17:22

oin Bristol Animal Rights Collective on their bus. RSVP ASAP so we know what size bus to hire!
On Saturday April 16th 2011 campaigners from across the country will be gathering in Manchester to mark World Day for Animals in Laboratories, a UN recognised date to remember the many millions of animals worldwide who are tortured and killed in experiments each year.
The day will begin with a rally in Whitworth Park, on Oxford Rd, Manchester. Here there will be speeches from activists, info stalls and vegan food. Later at around 1.30pm the march will set off along Oxford Road.

The route will first take us down Oxford Rd, past Manchester University, which carries out more animal experiments than any other university in the north of England. However we will also be passing Manchester Metropolitan University which by contrast is one of a growing number of universities which do not carry out experiments on animals.

The march will then take us around the centre of Manchester, taking the anti-vivisection message to many thousands of people on a busy Saturday afternoon, before finishing with a rally in Albert Square, next to Manchester Town Hall.

The events of the day will also be focussing on the role played by Manchester Airport as one of the major importers of animals for experimentation, more details nearer the time.

Want to come? We’re leaving Bristol Temple Meads at 8am. £10 minimum donation for the return trip. Email bristolcoachworldday@yahoo.co.uk to book a seat, and send a cheque to Bristol Animal Rights Collective, c/o Kebele, 14 Robertson Road, Easton BS5 6JY to secure your place.
