As we wrote this, a quiet, gently spoken young Iranian 'asylum seeker', Ali Mohammed Sadegh, was asleep in the back of our office...We would not normally allow this but then this is not a normal situation. On Friday 16th April at 11.30 pm, Ali was viciously beaten and stabbed by a group of 6 white men in what we believe was a racially motivated crime...Ali has been absolutely destitute for seven months. He has absolutely nowhere else to go but the street where he, and many others like him, have been forced out of their homes after being deemed 'failed asylum seekers'.Mayday: Rise and fall of anti-capitalist movement (The Scotsman)
Interesting / off plot article from The Scotsman on the demise of the autonomous big London Mayday demo reflecting the demise of the anti-capitalist movement - ahem. Since of course the london mayday demos were the high point of the movement :-) well anyway, their analysis of numbers demonstrating post 911 is simply not true, they fail to mention the big mobilisations just last year in 2003, like 100,000 people marching and blockading in Geneva against the G8, the 2-300,000 who gathered for the Lezarc "the world is not for sale" festival in France, and the other hundreds of thousands who protested at the EU summit Thessaloniki, the WTO summit in Cancun, the FTAA protests in Miami... or for that matter the 120,000+ who met to discuss alternatives at the World Social Forum in Mumbai, and the 100,000 or so at the Paris European Social Forum... and so on and so on. It seems newspapers keep running the same story each year, but the reality on the ground speaks against this. The rest of the article is interesting, but I'd also say some way off the mark.Oh yeah, and OF COURSE they don't mention EU Mayday in Dublin.
