Tippa Naphtali updates on Mikey's campaign
The event MOVING FORWARD TOGETHER 'staying focused - keeping up the struggle' was led by the Mikey Powell Campaign for Justice and supported by Migrant Media, the filmmakers that made the INJUSTICE film.

12-06-2005 21:22

Came across a large demonstration near the East London Mosque on sunday (12th June). Around 2,000 people were speaking out against the desecration of the Quran by Americans at Guantanamo Bay and the inhuman and unlawful treatment of those being held.

I spoke to various people there and got the impression that the demo and march were hoped to be a spring board to future mobilisations around this and other issues.
