10-04-2005 15:58

Make poverty history / Drop the debt
As the millenium clock in the centre of Swindon struck noon on Saturday, people dressed in white surrounded it to form a white ring, like one of those wristbands in aid of the Make Poverty History campaign. They were silent for a minute, with the exception of some percussion instrument which marked an avoidable death due to poverty every three seconds. At the end of the minute, a whistle blew and they all shouted "Make Poverty History". A long banner was unrolled around the outside of the group, reading "Poverty kills 30,000 people every day. 'Click' there's another one. 1.3 billion people live on less than 53p a day. MAKE POVERTY HISTORY".

Oil and the Power of Arizona Big Shots

07-04-2005 02:26

Arizona is the millionaire retirement and second home Fat-Cat capital of the world – and they like to shoot or humiliate Mexican nationals (and Mexican Americans too!) who cross the border to fill the low paying jobs that US businesses offer them (Wal-mart is a big employer of undocumented workers and a threat to Mexican retail stores too!)

G8: Amnesty International Statement Re Genoa Police Trials

indymedia picture - blood on walls inside diaz school
Amnesty International Statement on the Genoa G8 Diaz police trials due to start this week on Wednesday 6th. Also comments on the ongoing Balzanetto detention centre torture trials and Italy's failures in general.

A damning statement.

The opening of the diaz trial on wednesday is just the start. The actual trial is not expected to go ahead until the end of the summer - again raising fears that if more delays occur then under the Italian legal system too much time will have elapsed and the trials cannot proceed.
