06-09-2005 08:37

155 NGOs Urge EU Not to Support Paramilitary Disarmament

05-09-2005 17:09

The European Union should reject the process for the demobilisation of Colombia's extreme-right paramilitary groups, said 155 civil society organisations, including 75 from Europe and 68 from Colombia.
The so-called "law on justice and peace", which sets the rules for the disarmament of the United Self-Defence Forces of Colombia (AUC) paramilitary umbrella group, will provide no guarantee of justice for the victims of attacks, and the perpetrators will not have to pay for their crimes, the non-governmental organisations (NGOs) stated in an open letter to the European Union.

the Sumac Centre appeal

05-09-2005 16:37

The Sumac Centre in Nottingham needs help.

The Sumac Centre is an independent community and activist resource centre in Nottingham, UK. It is made up of a community cafe, social club, radical/social library, art exhibition space, veggie catering campaign, filmnights, talks, meeting spaces and the residents. The centre is used by various local groups, collectives and individuals working towards social change and sustainability. It has hosted many national and international gatherings in the past and hopes to continue to do so. The centre is entirely run by volunteers.

At the moment there is a shortage of volunteers meaning the centre can't be open as much. We would like to continue to support and promote the work of many campaigns and individuals and continue the work we do in our local community...
