Hunger strike at Yarl's Wood Prison - 8 May 2007

NWASDG, 09-05-2007 16:48

On Tuesday 8 May 2007, barely five days after a hunger strike by the women at Yarl's Wood gaol, in Bedfordshire, another hunger strike began at about 11.00am this morning. According to detainees held inside the prison, over 100 people including children are refusing food. The detainees are refusing to enter their rooms and are staying out in the gardens. The racist authorities are ignoring them as usual, hoping the protest dies down. the protest is against the conditions of the detention: 'we are not criminals, we have not killed anybody, yet we are being held here... this place is a prison really... the kids are scared of the police when they come in... no one can sleep, we are all stressed...' said one of the detainees.

Islam Punk Novel Censored!

Raheem, 03-05-2007 19:52

The Taqwacore movement (badly and shortly described a Muslim punk) has been getting some attention lately (across the web anyway) thanks to a profile of the culture in the The Guardian. What is less known is that the seminal novel of the movement – The Taqwacores– has been censored in its UK version due to fears brought on by the Muhammed cartoon controversy.
