The consortium behind the so called "28 Days Later Lab" in Camden have claimed that Gordon Brown "backs the project" even though the plans go against Camden Counci's planning brief which asks for affordable housing. We wrote to Gordon Brown and these are the replies we received. For those of you who don't know, there are plans to build a high level virus containment facility and animal testing lab on a Camden council house estate next to St Pancras Eurostar.

There is an attempt to build a high level virus containment facility and animal testing lab in Camden. This has been dubbed by the press as the "28 Days Later Lab" and MI5 have leaked warnings to newspapers about security fears. The lab if built will be on a council estate. Planning permission will soon be applied for. London Against Camden Danger Lab Arts Collective are looking for artists....

In case you hadn't noticed Otis Ferry remains caged. It's interesting to see how the ruleing classes define a "political prisoner". Perhaps all political prisoners should be released... unless they are charged with witness nobbling?

Friday 6th of November saw Gateway to Hell activists in Belgium publicly launch a new initiative to stop all experiments on Non-Human Primates, (NHPs), in Belgium...and thus make Belgium the first country to entirely ban invasive primate research.

Maggie's owner Davina Bowyer of West Midlands has launched a campaign asking for stiffer penalties for such animal abuse crimes. See www.maggieslaw.co.uk where you can also sign a petition.

November issue of the latest anti-speciesist, anti-capitalist, abolitionist direct action news is out now.

Mauritius is the 4th largest exporter of monkeys for "scientific" research, and the largest exporter of "wild-caught" monkeys (ie monkeys taken directly from nature and shipped to unimaginable horrors in laboratories). The use of wild-caught monkeys is considered so unconscionable that even the pro-vivisection British government has outlawed the practice, however regressive nations such as France, the USA and Japan still use them.

The latest news the G2H team has recieved from Nepal is not only will the monkeys not be released from the breeding centres [because they are "private property"] but that the Nepalese government is even considering restarting the exports....despite a previous public statement that Nepal no longer has a policy of exporting monkeys for the vivisection industry!
