This years remembrance parade for those who have been murdered by the state.

29-10-2006 10:02

It was bigger than last year. Hardly surprising when you consider how many more mothers, fathers, sons, daughters and Grandparents have been bereaved since then.

This is always an emotionally draining event to cover.

Like last year the dignity of the families was breathtaking.

MASKED, WHITE-OVERALLED PROTESTERS DEFY s.o.c.p.a. IN PARLIAMENT SQUARE!!!!

28-10-2006 20:10

Sorry for the late posting but this was a story that had to go up!

On Wednesday a group of masked-up white-overalled political agitators assembled by Parliament. It is unclear as to whether or not this gathering arranged with the Police as none were present to clarify the situation. After various banner waving antics (that were possibly illegal) the participants (who may have been gathered illegally) marched (definitely illegal!!!) down towards Victoria Street before occupying Methodist Central Hall for some kind of rally. Both the gathering, march and rally were organised under the noses of the Police without any intervention! Yet again the SOCPA legislation lies in tatters! Another blatant violation by political hooligans, which should have every reader of the Daily Mail Shaking with fear!

And this is not the first time!

Indymedia: Brad Will, Bravery, Our Common Struggle

28-10-2006 10:41

I think we should all take a look at what is so important about indymedia work and why it is so important and what it means to each one of us. I hope that we draw courage of conviction from Brad's example and that we stand together throughout the indymedia network and as individuals to redouble our efforts. I think you all know that it could have been any one of us. But, it is so much easier for them to take us one at a time. We stand much more strongly together in what we can all be proud of. Our brave common struggle. Indymedia.

Death in Custody in Ireland (Part II) / London Protest TODAY 28.10.

27-10-2006 23:56

22 deaths in Garda custody since 1997 are reported in the Republic of Ireland. 4 people died alone in Store Street Station since 2001, a Dublin inner city Police Station with specially designed 'suicide proof' cells.

Terence Wheelock was one of the latter. His death and how the Gardaí treated the incident and also the bereaved family thereafter triggered an ongoing and expanding family campaign.

In the UK, official figures amount to 493 deaths in police custody since 1996. In all of these cases, no officer EVER had to face a court. Today, families and friends of the victims march in London.
