The nasty BNP have won Hecky, and im absolutely devastated. We spent week after week walking the streets of the town to no avail, to no effect whatsoever. God knows how we will manage to mount any kind of campaign next year when the Nazis stand all over Kirklees. All my friends from all over West yorkshire (all twenty of them) will have their own problems in their own areas as Wakefield and Huddersfield BNP field candidates for the first time. Damn that Griffin, damn him, damn him.Dungavel Demonstration 6.8.03

Israfil Shiri has died after five days of terrible suffering in Wythenshawe Hospital Burns Unit Manchester.On Thursday 27th August Israfil Shiri, a destitute young Iranian man poured petrol over his body and set fire to himself in the offices of Refugee Action in Manchester. He suffered burns to 80% of his body. He had told his friends he would do it to prove that this government cares more about animals than people fleeing torture and persecution.
"If they cut off all my benefits, prevent me from working and make me homeless, I too will commit suicide". These were the words of another Iranian asylum seeker who, along with 30 other people, attended a meeting on Monday to discuss last Thursday's tragedy and how we can prevent it from happening again.
Israfil Shiri, 30, who has been on life support at Wythenshawe Hospital Burns Unit following the suicide attempt at the Manchester offices of Refugee Action last week, died early on the morning of the third September.

When the behaviour of the state of Israel is brought up in debate, the usual thing that’s levelled in its favour is that it’s “the only democracy in the middle east”. But what does this mean, and to what extent is it true?Bad news about asylum in Greece

Factual background information.The real cost of LIFE!
01-09-2003 10:58
Could some free reported contact Dr.Mohammed Al-Obaidi for further clarifications?The figure of 37,137 (31/08/03) is of purely civilian casualties and consistent with the nature of the illegal and babaric invasion, level of violence and media censorship.
The most notable one for us is the governorate of Basra 2009 slaughtered. Contrary to recent patterns (eg: Bosnia) whereby the hero worship of the armed thuggery is splashed all over all we have is Alistair/Kelly/Hutton hoodwink. Even the pig Terry Lloyd case is not resolved!
