Our Collective Duty to Zimbabwe
20-06-2008 10:49

Reconciliation will fail utterly if it is imposed; or allows free rein to corruption, militarism or if it ignores the choices of the people in valid elections. We have responsibility as progressives and Pan-Africanists to Zimbabwe.Campsfield Detention Centre Breakout - 4 humans escape!!

Disillusioned with the injustice he has encountered in Britain, all Mr Abu Rideh requests is allowance to leave the UK and be deported to Syria, or for his Control Order to be lifted.Repression and Revolt in the run up to G8 Japan
