BOYCOTT SINGAPORE - Necrop[olis City of Death

21-11-2005 04:11 | Culture | Health | Repression | World

Singapore executes more people per capita than any other country in the world. The sham-democracy island of 4 million, has executed more than 420 people since 1991.

Rumsfeld: Adelaide (Update)

19-11-2005 02:50 | Analysis | Repression | Social Struggles | World

Activists asserted their democratic right to protest Rumsfeld’s visit outside the heavily guarded Adelaide Town Hall regardless of Dr. Bob Such granting ‘permission’ to protest outside South Australia’s Parliament House.
