Anarchism in Spain event in Nottingham

24-07-2010 12:24

On Sunday July 18th, the Anarchist Federation's Nottingham group hosted an event at the Sparrow's Nest entitled "Civil War and Revolution: Anarchism in Spain". The event came the day after the re-dedication of the memorial to the International Brigades at County Hall, West Bridgford. It is part of a series of events commemorating the war which also includes a showing of Ken Loach's Land and Freedom on Sunday July 25th.

On the newswire: Spanish Civil War, Anarchism & Collectives | Civil War and Revolution: Anarchism in Spain | Spanish Civil War - photos of anarchist exhibition | Spain and anarchism at the Sparrow | ¡Alerta Antifascista! War and Revolution in Spain | Civil War and Revolution: Anarchism in Spain

Previous feature: Nottingham remembers Spanish Civil War

The event was an opportunity for the Nest to display its extensive archive of materials about the Spanish Civil War. The books were supplemented by reproductions of posters from the war, alongside images of the memorial at County Hall and a letter written by an International Brigade volunteers from Nottingham. Aside from the displays, the Anarchist Federation had invited two speakers from the Solidarity Federation who discussed the experiences of their Spanish sister organisation, the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT), the anarcho-syndicalist union which came to prominence during the civil war.

Crown Court rules against Surveillance of Meeting

23-07-2010 20:22

Crown Court today cleared three activists of the charges of "obstructing the police".  The Inner London Crown Court ruled that police surveillance of a public political meeting had not been proved to be lawful and that the police had failed to provide any evidence that they were pursuing a "legitimate aim". The three activists were arrested at a meeting called by London NoBorders in June 2008 when they protested against the surveillance of the meeting by "Forward Intelligence Team."

he aim of the public meeting, which took place in a community centre in Southwark, London, was to discuss a demonstration which later took place at the UK Border Agency in Croydon in July 2008. The Metropolitan Police turned up at both public meetings in June 2008, taking photos and filming everybody who attended the meeting.

In a press release, London NoBorders stated, that "The fact that the police could not show that their surveillance was authorised in any way is worrying and shows that the Forward Intelligence Team appears to work outside the law. The purpose of the police presence was clearly to intimidate and keep people from organising around political issues. It also shows that it is important for the future to continue to challenge the Forward Intelligence Team wherever they turn up."

During the trial one witness involved in London NoBorders, who had been followed by police armed with cameras around the area before the meeting, was asked by the prosecution if "he did not think that he is exactly the kind of person the state should be watching?". The prosecution also asked the witness, who stated that he felt intimidated by the police presence: "Why don't you stay at home when you are concerned about being filmed?"
