Manchester Airport court case verdict announced

22-02-2011 17:22

Campaigners remain defiant after Manchester airport protest sentencing

 

For many of the defendants, this was their first introduction to the judicial system. One of the defendants, speaking after court stated that 'having just experienced the highly flawed and outdated justice system for the first time, there has never been a more urgent need for people to utillise civil disobedience as a tactic for campaigning.'

Gaddafi out! Protest on streets of Bradford

21-02-2011 21:24

A large group of protestors have gathered outside the Alhambra theatre in Bradford to protest against the murder of hundreds of anti-government activists in Libya and to call for the removal from power of the countrys dictator Muammer al-Gaddafi. At the time of writing, around 50 bradford residents had already gathered and their numbers were continuing to grow.

The protest in Bradford has assembled as Gaddafi's security forces continue their brutal crackdown on the people of Libya, who are calling for freedom from a dictatorship that has perservered in the country since 1969. The uprising began on the 13th January 2011 and is continuing.

The latest reports put the death toll at a minimum of 300 people, with the latest confirmed death being that of an 18 month old boy. Gaddafi's son has vowed to "fight to the last bullet", but this has not deterred the mounting numbers of people taking to the streets daily or their determination for the people to take the country back.
