A discussion with the leader of Pakistan Labour Party, Farooq Tariq, has been organised by the Pakistan Solidarity Campaign. The meeting is convened just as the leaders of the Pakistan People's Party(Bhutto's party) and Pakistan Muslim League(Nawaz) have announced their failure to restore the judiciary demanded by the various movements in Pakistan, particularly the Lawyers movement. Please try and attend as the meeting might give us the oppurtunity to discuss what we can do to support the lawyers movement and other democratic and civil rights movements in Pakistan.

Heavy bombardment on Sadr city despite ceasefire

"Imperial USA never tells the truth. Just ask a native American what the white men said and what did they do? They never tell the truth. A lie is always appropriate if it will further their selfish, greedy ends. They knew no shame then. They know none now. Only a complete fool would believe otherwise."

In spite of the boom and bust cycle of shrimp farming, Thailand has continued to maintain relative calm in the eye of a storm called "Indochina". Just across the "Friendship Bridge" lies the Empire of Halliburton and Unocal (chevron), where the threat of genocide has loomed for decades, and tentacles spread through Thailand where information warfare was launched on New Years Day, 2007.

All charges against Pauline Campbell dropped (again).

11-05-2008 12:01

All...
In a desperate bid to avoid a PR disaster of catastrophic proportions, the Crown Prosecution Service has wisely decided that prosecuting Pauline Campbell for her last action at HMP Styal would ‘not be in the public interest’. Which is CPSspeak for: ‘Giving a public platform (courtroom) to a bereaved mother, thus enabling her to make hugely embarrassing facts about Styal Prison known to everyone would really piss the government off’. So yet again Pauline is free to continue her campaign of direct action against those institutions which fail in their duty of care to their inmates. For a full report about what happened the last time Pauline was nicked click here:

10-05-2008 23:02

Early arrivals wait outside the venue
Freeconomy Wrexham held its second dedicated Bring and Take event today. Our intensive postering and flyering in Brynteg paid off, and lots of people from the local area came along to find out more and went home laden with useful things, all for free. Bring and Take is a great thing to do - really happy and hopeful. We'd recommend it to anyone! Meanwhile, down at the council skips, there's a distinct absence of goodwill...

South Africa: Community Activist killed by police at demonstraion against Water Privatisation

10-05-2008 22:35

This is a translation/repost of an article found on Imc Germany, which reports that the community activist, Jan Matshobe, has been arrested by police on Tuesday, 29th of April, during a demonstration against water privatisation in Sebokeng, a township ca. 60km south of Johannesburg.

First the police released the activist, but he got then rearrested in the evening. Thursday monring he was found dead in a field.

Patra Sindane, Coalition against Water Privatisation said, that as long as an investigation would not prove the contrary, the police is responsible for the death of the comrade. The police has no scruples in using live ammunition against the protests either. A death caused by the police in prison only means a further logical step of the same tactics used by the police already against the protests in Sebokeng.
