Welsh Cops Want Stop and Search Powers (from Gagged! Anarcho Newsletter)

05-07-2007 12:10

War on Terror = War on Civil Liberties

South Wales cops have asked the Home Office for invasive powers to stop and search people in Cardiff following terror attacks in London and Glasgow Airport. In a move which echoes politicians’ calls to extend internment without charge, the police here are using the terror attacks as an excuse to extend their powers and further strip away civil liberties. Section 44 of the Terrorism Act gives the plod unprecedented stop and search powers and has already been misused to hassle demonstrators and others.

US Social Forum Supports Call for International Investigation into 9/11

05-07-2007 09:37

During June 27th to July 1st, approximately 9,400 people from across the America, and beyond, gathered in Atlanta for the historic, first-ever United States Social Forum  https://www.ussf2007.org/ . Thanks to donations from some of our generous supporters, 911Truth.org was there, together with about 15 other 911Truth activists from Georgia, California, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Washington DC, and Maryland. We went with the idea we'd work to "convince" people to look at the need for a real investigation into the crimes of 9/11. After all, the various issues and causes represented by this diversity of People were predicated, to such a strong degree, upon the events of 9/11, and it made sense that if presented with the information, we'd win some allies.

NGO denounces UK lies Legal Advice for Asylum Detainees

05-07-2007 00:20

Bail for Immigration Detainees (BID) is an independent charity that exists to challenge immigration detention in the UK. We work with asylum seekers and migrants, in removal centres and prisons, to secure their release from detention.

In response to recent parliamentary questions the UK government made out the that the support that BID provided to women and children in Yarl's Wood amounted to adequate provision for legal advice on navigating the UK asylum and detention system.

The volunteers of BID totally reject this mis-representation of their work, read on understand what's really going on in detenion centres in the UK today.

Ninja Doll’s Scorched Earth Policy: 7 Haikus for "Independence day"

04-07-2007 20:26

Happy Flag Burning Day comrades! Greetings from America, where anarchists bemoan the number of flags, and their huge size but we have a saying... "the bigger the flag, the bigger the flames!" On "independence day" one wonders if we will ever be truly independent of the old jack-boot-heel-up the-arse...
...well, until then... keep warm. Enjoy the Haikus I wrote for the 4th of fuckin July.
