Blockade NATO Conference Thursday 28 January 8.30am Lancaster House.

18-01-2010 15:08

Why we're blockading Gordon Brown's Afghanistan conference:
Gordon Brown's international conference on Afghanistan is part of a concerted effort to revive the brand Afghanistan as "the good war". It's a makeover aimed at turning the tide of public opinion, running so strongly against a war which is clearly futile and unwinnable.

Fears, rumour, lies and repression

In the last months of 2009, the fierce repression of communities and targeted individuals by the state and federal forces, the army and paramilitary groups has increased and extended. These actions are now not only targeting Zapatista communities, Other Campaign adherents and human rights defenders, but now also campesino groups not involved with the Other Campaign.
