Upcoming Free Hich Events

Free Hich | 01.10.2008 08:25 | Migration | Repression | Terror War

As you may know, Hicham Yezza was originally arrested at the University of Nottingham in May along with Rizwaan Sabir in a bogus 'terror operation'. The pair were then released without charge (or apology); Hich was swiftly re-arrested on 'immigration grouds' and held in detention for a further three weeks. Students, academics and politicians have made it clear that the maltreatment of Hicham was and continues to be an attempt to cover up "a dreadful cock-up".

The Home Office are continuing to waste tax-payers money persecuting an individual who has contributed greatlty to the Nottingham community and academic life; an individual who they should be actively trying to retain. The Free Hich campaign is continuing to oppose the senseless and oppressive behaviour of the Home Office and raise the necessary legal funds so that Hich can fight for justice. His plight unfortunately is far from over so please join us in our fight to give Hicham a chance to defend himself.

The Free Hich Campaign has some awesome talks, gigs, exhibition, and film screenings lined up for the coming term. Here are some key events happening really soon, dont miss out!


Round Table Discussion: Academic Freedom and Social Justice.
Today! Wednesday 1st Oct – 4PM – B62 (Law and Social Sciences Building)
Hosted by, the Centre for the Study of Social and Global Justice (Politics) and the Centre for Research on Identities, Citizenship and Migration (Sociology and Social Policy).

The round table seeks to address with staff and students important questions of academic freedom under the anti-terrorism legislation, and broader meaning of academic freedom today. Everyone welcome!


Human Rights Film Serries: 'Taxi To The Darkside'
Today! Wednesday 1st Oct – 6.30PM – B63 (Law and Social Sciences Building)
An in-depth look at the torture practices of the United States in Afghanistan, Iraq and Guantanamo Bay, focusing on an innocent taxi driver in Afghanistan who was tortured and killed in 2002.
Trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WX0MPcN08Zc


Talk: The Nottingham Terror Arrests, The War on Terror and Civil Liberties.
Thursday 2nd Oct – 4PM - 5.30PM - B62 (Law and Social Sciences Building)
Talk and discussion with Alan Simpson, MP for Nottingham South, Hicham Yezza, Rizwaan Sabir.


Film Screening: State of Fear, the truth about terrorism.
Sunday 5th Oct – 6PM - Broadway Cinema (City Centre)
With an introduction by Hicham Yezza and Rizwaan Sabir (Part of the Broadway Human Rights Film Series)

Based on the findings of the Peruvian Truth and Reconciliation Commission, State of Fear follows events in Peru, yet serves as a cautionary tale for any nation. Filmmakers Pamela Yates, Peter Kinoy, and Paco de Onis masterfully blend personal testimony, history and archival footage to tell the story of escalating violence in the Andean nation and how the fear of terror undermined their democracy, making Peru a virtual dictatorship where official corruption replaced the rule of law.


Film Screening: Immigration Stories
Wednesday 8th October – 6.30PM. C50 Portland
(With a segment on the Free Hich campaign) Introduction and Q&A with Francesco Ragazzi, Director. Ragazzi is currently working on a documentary about Hichams' case and the Free Hich Campaign.


Talk: The War on Terror, Islamophobia and Civil Liberties
Thursday 16th Oct – 6.30PM - B63 (Law and Social Sciences)
By Moazzam Begg, former Guantanamo Detainee, Author of "Enemy Combatant"
