It was nice and sunny when over a thousand protesters followed the call of the Scottish Trade Union Council to travel to Dungavel Detention Centre, which lies isolated in the countryside 40 min away south of Glasgow in Lanarkshire, near Strathaven.
Protesters arrived from all over; buses were provided from Glasgow, Edinburgh, London, Manchester, Birmingham and North East England.
A samba band played at the arrival, and the protesters banged against the fence with fists and sticks, so that the first speeches drowned in noise of the publics outrage against the seperation, the rascist and inhumane institutional treatment of refugees in this country. A whole line-up of politicians from a wide spektrum spoke out against the prison like institution, with the star speakers Mercy Ikolo, who was just released on bail with her 14 month old daughter Bessie from Dungavel, and human rights lawyer Aamer Anwar.

The rally at the Dungavel Detention Centre, which lies isolated about 40 min away (busdrive), in the country side, was visited today by about a thousand protesters.
At least 10 doubledekker buses made their way from Glasgow and several from the south and from Edinburgh to get a first hand knowledge and experience about the Dungavel Detention Centre which is constantly in the news particularly for its "family unit" where not only the parents are fitted up for no crime or charges, but also their children.

Power to the SWP not the People - Peoples Assembly London is a success.
Friends meeting house on Euston road was almost filled by delegates from across Britain eventhough Britain is no longer engaged in an overt War in Iraq (well Bush did declare the war was over). So in a sense the STWC must redefine its purpose otherwise its local groups will disband, as they did after the first Gulf war, to wait for the next US imperialist War.

Call for UK Government Regime Change
A resolution passed by a local peace group in Ayrshire is expected to start a national avalanche of calls for Tony Blair’s resignation. Other organisations, large and small, are being encouraged to adopt and pass the resolution. Ayrshire North Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, meeting in Irvine on the 26th August 2003, called for the Prime Minister to stand down in recognition that his action caused and continues to cause unnecessary suffering against the will of the British people. Hindsight and the Hutton enquiry, they say, show his professed reasons for supporting the USA in an unpopular, illegal and immoral war were unfounded.
