22-08-2005 22:16

A building empty for many years has been occupied. The neighbours constantly fed up with the council inaction, a mess in the garden, drug abusers round the back of the property, windows smashed.

*Iraq - Economic Occupation on Trial - Support Needed*

22-08-2005 19:19

**Call for Urgent Support**

In less than a month, four British activists will face trial for
challenging a British company involved in facilitating the Economic

imposition of free market lead structures upon Iraq without the consent
of the Iraqi people. This process is barely known, and barely reported
on but has longterm implications for the people of Iraq, their futures
and the future of US empire in the Middle East.
