Anti-war activist Milan Rai was released earlier today from Lewes prison after serving 14 days of a 28 day sentence for non-payment of a compensation order to the Foreign Office. This arose from an action last year protesting UK involvement in the assault on Fallujah.

Milan was in good shape and really appreciated the strong support he received whilst inside (over 300 cards and letters!).

"Concerned" isn't cvoncerned enough

So far 30,500+ civilians have been killed in Iraq since the unlawful invasion by UK and US forces (figures courtesy Iraq bodycount) - even if the fighting stops immediately the deaths will continue simply because of the use of depleted uranium weapons...Criticising the so-called coalition forces doesn't mean that someone is "supporting" the murderous terrorists - terrorists are terrorists wether they use pistols or a cluster bombs - but there is one crucial difference in the Iraq conflict - our taxes are being used to buy the cluster bombs, and to supply the weaponry - just as UK businesses and the UK government helped Saddam buildup his chemical warfare capability a few years ago - so now UK business and the the UK state infrastructure develops the weapons of mass destruction used against civilian populations in Iraq. We not only have the right to protest about this situation but also a duty - Mil Rai played a fantastic role in supporting the opposition to the first Gulf War - and he is courageous enough to take a stand now - well done Mil. I'm afraid that "concerned" needs to do a bit more critical thinking and a bit less swallowing Neo-con propaganda.
