G8: Amnesty International Statement Re Genoa Police Trials

04-04-2005 19:25

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.

APRIL FOOLS: Funding Crisis!

31-03-2005 23:00

(((i)))

The Independent Media Centre Network has gone from strength to strength over the past 5 years in a bid to provide an alternative media outlet. But now, as IMC UK heads towards its own 5th birthday, a crisis is looming...

So, in order to to survive, IMC UK has decided that "if you can't beat 'em - join 'em." The current crisis is, of course, fiscal - threatening not only our ability to provide any kind of media service during the G8 protests, but may also mean we have to make cutbacks and axe participants from the project. This we would hate to do. Consequently, we are negotiating premium contracts with Ronald McDonald and Starbucks (for pop-ups, banners and promotional videos) to provide targeted marketing opportunities into a new sector. We hope that this will sustain IMC UK for the foreseeable future.
