oxford street sitdown pic from antiwar.co.uk
On Saturday up to 3000 people marched from BBC Broadcasting House to hold a Stop The War protest at the US Embassy in London (police estimated 1000). Huge numbers of police accompanied the march to the Embassy, where protestors found themselves marshalled into a small area fenced off with crash barriers and concrete blocks. There were passionate speeches with many critical of the mainstream media's role in the conflict. (See pics)

Following on a group of around 100 people slowly marched up to Oxford street where they held a sunny sit down protest, blockading the intersection for almost one hour (pics), before police moved violently to push them back to the US Embassy (pics). They were held there for over an hour and then released in small groups after being told that if they protested again that day, they would be arrested (report). Despite this spirits remained high and people vowed to continue the protests.

By early evening there were at least 6 confirmed dubious arrests under Section 14 of the Public Order Act 1986 including that of an IMC-UK volunteer [report]. Most of those arrested where later charged, some with "highway obstruction" and face court cases early next week.

Real Lives Not Media Lies

manchester demo
The mainstream media has been heavily criticised for its pro bias coverage of the attack on Iraq and has seen an increasing amount of action taken against them. Most recently on April fools Day in Manchester thirty people occupied the News International Office, which run the Times and the Sun. Once inside they handed out literature to the staff before being painfully removed. The Sun tabloid was also a target of a student die-in outside the sun offices in Tower Hill, London. Also in London a protest outside the BBC was met with a line of police outside the front of the building with the gate to the entrance shut, preventing access.

These actions followed on from a demonstration outside the Manchester BBC offices Saturday the 29th, which saw two marches converge on the Headquarters. The previous night BBC deputy Editor Mark Damazar was confronted with a barrage of questions at a public discussion organised by Media Workers Against the War criticising the pro-government war led agenda.
A list of military/govt. claims and media counter-claims published by the MediaGuardian shows how some of the lies are being disproved.

Peace Campaigners Iraqi Diary

30-03-2003 14:40

Bristol peace activist Jo Wilding is in Baghdad witnessing the bombing. She's still managing to send out daily reports of life in the city. Read an excerpt of her diary below.

"Husham Hussein said he was about 200 metres away, indicating a set of traffic lights, when it happened. He saw the missile hit the front of the building where Mohammed’s shop used to be. It wasn’t a huge missile, he said, which fits with the relatively small size of the crater. He said a lot of people were injured in the flats above the shops. The shops were all open and the market was busy. He thought 25 people were killed. Someone else said 45-50 people had gone to hospital. No one could think of a military target nearby."

Protesters in York held a die-in in the town centre with flowers being laid on the 'dead'. This was followed by a noisy demonstration through the city centre. In Cambridge 800 people marched in a protest organised by Cambridge Campaign for Peace. In a hastily arranged protest, the march ended with several speakers advocating civil disobedience. In Leeds protesters marched with someone present questioning the effectiveness of A-B marches with speakers at the end.

Cardiff saw the city centre taken over as 500 protesters and a samba band made their way past rugby fans going to watch a game. Oxford had a heavy police prescence around their protest, which was attended by 800 people. Police even cordoned off a rally which was held at the end of the march. see pic. A march in Leicester attracted around 1500 protesters in a broad based demo. Thousands attended a demo in Sheffield where the theme was a funeral procession, with coffins at the front.

Dublin saw a massive demo take place and the video can be watched here. Another big demo took place in Edinburgh, with 10,000 protesting. The protest also involved a sit down protest, see pics here and here. In Manchester two seperate marches converged to the BBC in Manchester, with one banner reading 'STATE TV PROPAGANDA'. Some arrests were made after police violently pinned in a small group of protesters Newcastle saw a crowd of 1,000 attend a rally, before heading off to a war memorial for a two minute silence. Police attempted to block their path but protesters used various routes to meet up at the war memorial.

Meeting at Covent Garden, they set up a 'Food not Bombs' trolley handing out free sandwiches, before being stopped. Determined they moved around Central London blocking traffic.

Police Use Pre-Emptive Strikes

24-03-2003 02:07

Protesters gathered in their thousands at the USAF base in Fairford on 24th March 2003, to voice their disgust at the use of B-52ís in the attack on Iraq (pics). The national event, was also attended by many local people who are living under the sounds of the bombers lifting off to drop their payload six hours away. Section 12&14 of the 1986 Public Disorder Act were imposed, preventing deviation from a designated route. There were four arrests under the 1994 Criminal Justice Public Order Act, two for failing to remove masks. One of the people arrested has been on hunger strike ever since (see press release).


Aside from those that reached the demo, one coach from Swindon and three coach loads of protesters from London were prevented from even reaching Fairford. Pulled over by about fifty police. Every person was searched including their bags, whilst being filmed and photographed. The Protesters were then held on the coaches and escorted all the way back to London by three different regional police forces. After placing signs in the windows reading "Help we are being illegally detained", protesters managed to escape their temporary coach cell, when stopped at traffic lights in Shepherds Bush. Leaving via the emergency exits, they ran onto the street, rather than wait for Euston their destination where eight police vans awaited.

19-03-2003 19:10

[All UK local time]
02:50 Explosions and sirens as UK/US forces target central and southern Baghdad, near the edge of the city. It seems the attack has been limited and the trumpeted "shock and awe" mass bombing will come at a later stage. Rumours in the media point at a possible attempt to kill some Iraqi officials after intelligence on their whereabouts.
03:15 Bush announces to the global media the start of the war, in a speech full of enemy demonisation -- children as human shields -- and nice PR-fodder about Iraq's people, culture and religion.
03:30 Main Iraq radio taken off air. Now it broadcasts psy-op UK/US propaganda.
04:00 Bush calls it a day, and goes to bed. The Pentagon has confirmed the attack was just an opportunity strike intending to kill senior Iraqi leaders in their sleeping hideout. Cruise missiles were fired from US warships and warplanes also took part in the bombing. Reports in Al-Jazeera talk about three dozen bombs.

Welsh assembly occupied in anti-war protest

18-03-2003 15:13

For the second time in six months, activists from Cardiff Anarchist Network occupied the chamber of the Welsh Assembly in protest at the impending illegal attack on Iraq. At 2:45pm on Tuesday afternoon, five activists leapt from the public gallery and staged a sit-in in front of the speaker's podium in the main debating chamber, bringing the assembly's business to a complete halt. At the same time, two more attempted to climb the truss inside the Assembly's foyer, and the last tried to D-lock himself to it. All were released without charge, and the group's action even garnered support from two assembly members who came out of the building to congratulate the protestors, saying that as Tony Blair had ignored the wishes of the people of this country and the will of the United Nations, he was no longer in any position to lecture anyone on illegalities.

Dow Chemical virtual sit-in

18-03-2003 11:30

A virtual 'sit-in' has been going on this week (ending 17th March) on the Dow Chemical companies web site. This was in protest to the fact that Dow Chemical have been to court this week in India. Not as the defendants for their ongoing responsibility for the Bhopal disaster, but as the plaintiffs: Dow is suing the Survivors of the disaster for protesting at a Dow plant, and they are demanding US $10,000 from them (about 10 years of wages at local rates)
After the 1984 gas leak, which has killed 20,000 people to date, Union Carbide abandoned the factory site and fled India. For 18 years since, the toxic wastes left by Union Carbide have been bleeding poisons into the groundwater and affecting the health of the people living near the factory. Dow merged with Union Carbide in 2001 and paid up for Union Carbide's asbestos liabilities, but it refuses to do the same for Bhopal.
