Jacqui Smith versus Justice Mitting
04-03-2009 10:56
Last week five men under bail conditions facing deportation back to Algeria and Jordan had their cases heard in SIAC. The judge decided to adjourn and to let the men stay out on bail. Jacqui Smith over ruled the judge and arrested them all that night-and a further hearing the following morning saw them released. How much did that cost in SIAC? Thousands. She had authorised a day in SIAC herself-if it had gone her way with the men's detention-all well and good. But because the judge did not decide as she had hoped-she arrested them anyway.No Borders activists dump jumpers on council leader

"Move or the baby gets it", police lies at Plane Stupid action in Scotland
03-03-2009 19:13
After almost six hours the Plane Stupid Scotland's action at Aberdeen airport ended with the protesters voluntarily unlocking themselves from their blockade. The eleven people, including local residents that this morning breached the airport fence have now been arrested. The protesters were told by police to dismantle their peaceful protest because the taxiway they were secured to was needed by an emergency helicopter. A baby apparently required urgent treatment, and any other approach would cause delays. Obviously the safety of the public was of paramount concern to the activists and so they duly removed themselves....
