South Wales Anarchists stand in solidarity with the SHAC 7

27-01-2009 10:30

Let's be clear about this judgement: the SHAC 7 have been handed absurdly long jail sentences because they mounted a successful campaign to dent the profits of an industry they believe to be unjust. What NETCU, judge Butterfield et al have sought to do is vilify a legal and peaceful campaign and to ’round up’ its assumed leaders in order to break the back of a successful movement. They have failed!

Somali's with removal directions, Charter flight to Mogadishu!
Rumours of a charter flight within the next fortnight, removing UK Somali's to Mogadishu are circulating. At least one Somali in detention has been told that the UKBA 'Removals Faciliation Team' have sent a letter to his solicitor, saying he will be removed within the next two weeks by charter flight to Mogadishu via Nairobi.

If you know of any Somali's with set removal directions, they should make a Rule 39 application to ECHR, as all Somali case with the ECHR are on hold and interim relief is being given to those Somali's, with removal directions, who apply to the court.
Making an application to the European Court of Human Rights

The Icelandic Government has Collapsed

27-01-2009 00:57

Demonstration outside parlaiment
Under the pressure because of a firestorm of a popular uprising that's seen the Icelandic Parlaiment seiged by demonstrators, weekly mass rallys that grew more and more militant, Police hospitalised and an elite who've been cowering away at how the winds blowing against their greasy faces, the Icelandic Government has finally collapsed. This makes it the first Government victim of the global financial crisis.

BBC occupied in London

26-01-2009 23:54

Run officer ruuun!
Today the Stop the War Coalition called a protest outside the BBC. The demo was about the BBC's unfortunate decision to give everyone the impression that they are quite frankly racist. If an earthquake struck Tel Aviv would the BBC refuse to show aid appeals in a bid to appear unbiased? Or is this just a commercial decision? Are they worried about how their ratings might suffer in Israel and the USA if they dared to help a mere 1 million people who have no electricity and clean water due to the war crimes of Israel? Cowards!

On a lighter note this appearance by Tony Benn on the beeb is fucking hilarious:

Animal Rights Coalition Gathering Report

26-01-2009 22:56

Animal Rights Banner

Sunday 25th January saw the national Animal Rights Coaliton meeting (ARC) take place at the Beesley Green Community Centre near Manchester. Attendees came from as far afield as Birmingham, Nottingham, North Wales, Leeds, Lancashire, London, Swansea, Coventry and of course Manchester. There was also a representative of the Mexican Animal Rights movement who attended to see how the process of Animal Rights activism in the UK was organised.

Notable absentees it would seem, refreshingly, were PC Plum and his camera wielding hordes, due to the heightened threat of terrorist activity in the town of Balamory perhaps?

Kicking at 10am with a chance to form and strengthen bonds between AR activists from across the country, the event drew in excess of 50 people, both human and canine. Far from presenting an image of a movement in fear, licking it's wounds following recent high profile trials, including the sentencing of a number of SHAC activists for conspiracy to blackmail and the start of Mel Broughton's retrial, the mood was on the whole upbeat, positive and imaginative.
