Protest at home office by Zimbabwean refugees.
Guido | 30.01.2005 14:27 | London | World
Even America's neo-cons describe Zimbabwe as an 'outpost of tyranny'. However that has not stopped the home office from announcing its intention to start deporting refugees back to Mugabe's torture chambers. The home office is under pressure from the government to meet it's deportation targets and Zimbabwe has been out of the news for long enough for them to think that they can get away with it. The 300 demonstraters who attended Saturday's demo said that if anything Zimbabwe is now more dangerous for opposition activists than it has ever been. Speeches were made in support of the refugees by Jeremy Corbyn MP, The NUJ deputy president and Respect. There were also some very emotional first hand accounts of repression suffered by activists and journalists under the Mugabe regime. There seemed to be no media interest at all from the mainstream British media despite their eagerness to run front page headlines whenever a white farmer gets killed out there. The demo ended with a number of protest songs. They would have been beaten and imprisoned for singing the same songs in their own country.

Some mirrors might not update till an hour and a half or so after something has been published, perhaps instead of slagging Indymedia off you might like to help raise some money so we can get a faster server so that the site can updated quicker?

Bizarrely, though, there are still a couple of left wing organisations that believe it is 'anti-imperialist' to suport the Mugabe government. All are tiny, but the newspapers published by the CPGB(M-L), the RCPB(M-L) and the EPSR Group all claim that the Zimbabwean government are subject to Anglo-American smear campaigns and plots to overthrow it because of the land redistribution programme.
