Another London Critical Mass police hassle.
28-07-2007 07:14

They also video and photograph riders at the start of every event. It is odd though that they never turn up for the December ride, which is close to the New year celebrations.Gloria Arroyo's Economy: Not Working

BAA Heathrow Injunction Targets NGOs and Climate Camp! Huge Implications...
27-07-2007 09:27
BAA is seeking to gain an unwarrented injunction against environmental campaigners to prevent them protesting against climate change and the expansion of heathrow airport.The story featured two days ago in the Uxbridge Gazette:
http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2007/07/377010.html Since then, the scale of the injunction BAA is seeking has become clear. They have targeted not only groups related to the forthcoming Camp for Climate Action, but also several campaign groups composed of local people opposing the airport's expansion, and even mass membership organisations like The National Trust, FOE, RSPB, Greenpeace, as well as the Campaign to Protect Rural England and others!
The injunction hearing which could see millions of people liable for arrest if they approach heathrow, will be heard next wednesday.
The Independent newspaper put the story frontpage today, and it's now been featured by BBC, Guardian, and other news sources. More details below:
