NSW Greens lose bid to stop jail boss getting more power

11-11-2004 07:01

Hatzistergos: "And the definition is broad enough to include inmates serving sentences for non-terrorist offences who subsequently exhibit behaviour which potentially poses a risk to national security of the security of a correctional centre"?

But these laws are offensive to "common law" and that is why they were not drafted into legislation and properly debated. The idea is to cause mental illness to non-terrorist prisoners who are mistreated by placing them in confined isolation indefinitely without any constructive lifestyle, as has already been the case at the HRMU for years, but this is only and attempt to validate the ongoing torture and political posturing.

Tanks Confront Los Angeles Iraq War Protestors!

10-11-2004 20:00

TANKS APPEAR AT ANTI-WAR PROTEST IN WESTWOOD

LOS ANGELES, November 9, 2004 - At 7:50 PM armored tanks showed up at an anti-war protest in front of the federal building in Westwood.

The tanks circled the block twice, the second time parking themselves in the street and directly in front of the area where most of the protesters were gathered.

Enraged, some of the people attempted to block the tanks, but police quickly cleared the street.

The people continued to protest the presence of the tanks, but after about ten minutes the tanks drove off. It is unclear as to why the tanks were deployed to this location.
