Protests continues in Tehran and major cities for more than 5 weeks
The reality is that after 20th of June massacre 2009 the time of hope in reform has come to an end.the only hope the fearful heads of the regime have now is the lack of revolutionary forces on the ground and the low level of public awareness which has been caused by years of repression and censorship.

New Attempt By The Prison System To Sabotage John Bowden's Parole Hearing

22-07-2009 16:54

The contents of a prison intelligence report on me is I'm sure the latest attempt by the prison authorities to prevent my release and should be looked at in the context of what happened in 2007 with the Stillman allegations. There is an obvious continuum here and a definite pattern of his falsehoods all designed to prejudice the decision of the parole board whenever it needs to consider my release. Essentially the strategy is the same as in 2007 – to try and persuade the parole board that I am linked to an illegal group on the outside (in 2007 it was a terrorist or paramilitary group, now it's a criminal or “gang-land” fraternity) and therefore represent a risk to public safety. There never was in 2007 and there isn't now any police intelligence to corroborate or substantiate the claim of my association with illegal groups on the outside of prison and there remains absolutely no evidential basis to the allegations whatsoever. In fact, the source of the allegations is senior prison staff who keen to manufacture “evidence” of my danger to the public have used the identity of people who have visited me in prison to claim an association with illegal groups on the outside. In 2007 “evidence” of my involvement with a “terrorist organisation” was a visit I'd received from two members of the Anarchist Black cross, a perfectly legal and legitimate prisoners' rights group; in 2008 “evidence” of my involvement in the Glasgow underworld was a visit I'd received from an ex-prisoner who I'd served time with. Despite there existing absolutely no evidence that my relationship with either the ABC members or the ex-prisoner extended beyond the context of prison or that their lifestyles and social and political associations were anything other than perfectly legal, their visiting me was used as evidence in various prison reports to claim that I represented a danger to public safety and therefore should not be released from prison.
