It will process through every ward in Charles Clarke's Norwich South constituency, ending at his office on Castle Meadow at 1pm when an Open Letter of Concerns and Demands will be presented. At noon on Saturday 29 October outside Charles’ office on Castle Meadow there will be a follow-up Demonstration for Human Rights.

Councillor Adrian Ramsay, who (standing for the Green Party) challenged Charles Clarke at the general election earlier this year, will be at Eaton Park on Friday morning, at the start of the march. He said: "The erosion of basic human rights under this Government is of grave concern. Measures such as restricting the right to trial by jury, the shoot to kill policy and the proposed increase in the amount of time suspects can be held without a trial all undermine the basic principles of justice and of 'innocent until proven guilty'. Our ancestors fought hard for these rights. We should not give them up lightly.

"Recent attempts by Charles Clarke and the Government to deport suspects to countries where they could be tortured is particularly unacceptable.

"I am pleased that these concerns have now reached the very heart of Charles Clarke’s constituency, and so am delighted to be taking part in this protest."

Such demonstrations as will take place this Friday and Saturday mornings, with placards, music, loudspeakers and other traditional forms of protest, are now routinely outlawed by police outside Parliament and the Home Office. This is why grassroots Norwich human rights protesters have transferred such protests to the home ground of the Home Secretary. Throughout the month of November there will be leafleting in the streets to encourage debate on these serious issues, street theatre and public meetings.

Green Councillor Rupert Read will also be among Friday's marchers, and he said, "This is a march for civil rights. I know from personal experience how dangerous New Labour's new laws are for civil rights in Britain. Like Walter Wolfgang at the recent Labour Party Conference, I have been threatened with arrest under the Terrorism Act for such 'crimes' as standing with a banner on Whitehall, or with an upside-down American flag in front of Buckingham Palace, during President Bush's visit. The laws which Charles Clarke has brought in - and he is threatening to bring in even more repressive laws, as we speak -- are spelling the end of free speech and of democratic peaceful protest in this country. Mr Clarke has to be stopped - and that is the message from this march."

Green County Councillor Andrew Boswell and many other Green members and supporters will also be on the march: they will also be outside Mr Clarke's office for the culmination of the march, at around 1pm.
