URGENT - Phone Blockade of Royal Jordanian started!

31-01-2014 11:28

Today our friend NSY is due to be taken from Campsfield House Detention Centre/Prison towards Heathrow…to be forced onto a flight to Baghdad, Iraq via Amman, Jordan, even though his life is in serious danger in Iraq as a minority Shabaki. But it’s not too late to stop him flying! The flight is not due to leave until 4.05pm. We’ve therefore launched a phone blockade. If you can, please spend at least 5 mins calling Royal Jordanian Airlines London offices to ask them to intervene to stop NSY's flight, as they are able to do.

The Greek state murders, Europe consents

25-01-2014 14:47

The mass murder of infants and women by the Greek state outside the island Farmakonisi is not an individual incident and absolutely not a tragedy, since ignorance is required for a tragedy to happen

"Syria's holocaust": The British media totally lose the plot

23-01-2014 13:59

At no time in history has the perversion of the truth been so extreme. Once the NATO-led genocide on the people of Syria comes to an end, The Guardian and the entire British media establishment must be tried for crimes against humanity.

Met Police stoop to using violence against women!

22-01-2014 02:13

On 1 June 2013, over 1,000 supporters of Unite Against Fascism, the Anti-Fascist Network, and much larger numbers of completely un-aligned members of the public, gathered in London's Whitehall and Parliament Square to oppose the closet Nazis of the BNP in their plan to desecrate the Cenotaph in Whitehall. Using what were in effect classic tactics of Gandhian non-violent resistance, Anti-Fascists linked arms to block one corner of Parliament Square, to successfully prevent the BNP taking the piss out of British war-dead at the Cenotaph in Whitehall. Wise to the fact that they probably couldn't bludgeon Anti-Fascists over the head with batons without their own faces being photographed, Met Police officers resorted to the much less conspicuous tactic of viciously booting Anti-Fascists in the shins instead, crippling teacher Amy Jowett in the process...

Geneva II – Washington’s Plan B for regime change in Syria

21-01-2014 18:35

The fatal problem with the Geneva II negotiations on Syria, due to open next week in Switzerland, is that the process is furtively being treated by the US and its allies as a lever for regime change. It is their Plan B for regime change, where Plan A is the failed covert military tactic. That does not bode well for a successful, that is sustainable, settlement to a crisis that is nearly three years old with well over 100,000 deaths and nine million people – more than a third of the total population – displaced from their homes. It amounts to an illegal interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign state, and as such is doomed to fail.

11th Hour Appeal against unjust execution

20-01-2014 16:58

this is an urgent appeal for all anti-death penalty activists and those who care about justice, to take action against an atrocious miscarriage of justice in the United Arab Emirates. A Sri Lankan National will be taken before the firing squad tomorrow morning (January 21) over the accidental death of a man who tried to rape him. The deceased's family refuses to renounce retaliation just to cover up the shame of the events which led up to the fatal incident.

2013 Fascist Roundup

18-01-2014 10:39

The fascists are starting 2014 in a grim place. Tommy Robinson’s desertion of the EDL has left the organisation in a shambles which barely managed to get 200 members to the organisation’s latest national demo in Exeter. EDL members are now outnumbered many times over by antifascists at their demos. As if this woeful state of affairs wasn’t enough, 32 EDL activists were recently jailed for a total of more than 55 years for their involvement in violent disorder at the EDL’s Walsall demonstration. Among those sentenced were Kirk Jones (33 months), Mick Thomas (28 months) and Christopher Boyall (24 months) from Leicestershire and Kirk Reeves from Derbyshire (18 months). They will join the vast majority of the North West Infidels who are already serving time for violent disorder and former EDL leader, Guramit Singh, who will be serving 6 1/2 years for the attempted robbery of a Hucknall garden centre.

Phone Blockade about to start - help stop deportation of Emily Mei Yeh

17-01-2014 09:39

Emily Yeh worked as an intelligence officer for the Taiwanese government, but became morally uncomfortable with the work she was asked to carry out and fled to the UK. She has been living in Newport, South Wales, where she became a volunteer. Right now, her many friends and supporters are appealing to Malaysia Airways to help keep Emily safe, and not to remove her against her will to an uncertain and dangerous future. If returned she faces an unduly long prison sentence, if not torture or worse.

More than a thousand people stood in peaceful solidarity with the Duggan family outside Tottenham Police Station yesterday afternoon. Speakers from families of just a handful of the 1400 deaths in custody since 1990 told over and over how the authorities close ranks and deny justice, and the media smear and misinform.

Dutch police officer, who shot Rishi Chandrikasing, acquitted/Licence to kill

11-01-2014 02:36

The acquittal of the Dutch police officer, who shot unarmed Rishi Chandrikasing, a Dutch
citizen of colour, is an absolute scandal. Cop claimed self defence, while Rishi was running away,
didn't try to reanimate him [he was living after hit by the bullet] and shot when moving [against police
instruction]. But it fits a long tradition of Dutch police violence, racist or other.
A broad protest in society is necessary. No Justice, no peace!

Mark Duggan murder: How the establishment did cover up a political killing?

09-01-2014 08:48

It takes one very simple sentence, to explain -how- an Inquest Jury in the High Court, erroneously produced the widely reported media headlines, that Mark Duggan was "lawfully" killed by the Metropolitan Police.

The Judge improperly -directed- the Inquest Jury, over what could be called evidence, and the Duggans' lawyers, did not properly challenge that.

Ultimately if the Duggan family had proper legal representation, a European Court ruling, would lead to the proper verdict of unlawful killing.
