Ian Tomlinson died at G20 Meltdown in the city on 1st April. People are gathering. Flowers will be laid.

Ian Tomlinson, died after being pushed to the ground by a policeman in riot gear. Video footage of his assault is widely circulating. It does not tally with initiatl police and media reports.

Protesters and friends are assembling at Bethnal Green Police Station at 11.30 am to demand a public inquiry.

A procession will move off at midday to arriveat the Bank of England around 1.00pm. Flowers will be laid where he died.

A spokesperson for G20 Meltdown says: "This is a mark of respect. We demand answers. We suggest you wear black."

Call out for national demo in Jacqui Smith`s home town

08.04.2009 00:19

The policing at the G20 protests was extremely violent and agressive. Peaceful protesters were attacked and beaten, many of them suffering injuries. We`ve all seen the videos of police laying into the climate campers who stood there with their hands in the air calmly stating "this is not a riot". And now we see film evidence that Ian Tomlinson, who was not even a protester, was brutally attacked from behind with a baton, before being shoved hard to the ground by a vicious cop. Ian Tomlinson died minutes later - I call this MURDER and it happened on Jacqui Smith`s watch!!

This is a call out for a National Demonstration in Redditch, the constituency of Jacqui Smith, the Home Secretary.

Demonstrate against the increasingly violent and aggressive policing at peaceful protests. Demonstrate against the erosion of civil liberties in our so called democracy. Demand that Jacqui Smith ensures that the officers who murdered Ian Tomlinson are brought to justice.

Let`s see how Jacqui Smith likes it when 1,000`s of protesters turn up in her home town demanding JUSTICE!!!

Saturday 18th April - 12 noon outside Redditch Town Hall.

The town hall is about 10 minutes walk from the train station.  http://www.multimap.com/s/QKjPxY9S

There's no point demanding an enquiry at Bethnal Green. We need to go to Whitehall. I'll be at Bethnal Green anyway, but those are my thoughts.

any self-respecting serious anarchist should think carefully with their continued association with g20 meltdown.

A concrete example: Ms Marina Pepper stated on the g20 meltdown list, and i quote:

"Anyone with half a heart or a toe in the direct action movement knows we need a working relationship with the police"

She also signed her post "Peace love and stand by your policeman"
