People fighting back in Tonga - IMC activists reports and photos

01-12-2006 03:08

Riots broke out in Tonga's capital Nuku'alofa after a pro-democracy demonstration on Thursday, 16th November, in the Kingdom. About 3000 people marched onto parliament with banners calling for immediate reform, others attacked public figures, while another labeled the current structure a "deadly virus". In the afternoon, after parliament was cancelled, protesters started smashing government buildings and set fire to businesses owned by the Prime Minister and the King in the city centre and turned cars over. Windows were smashed in the Prime Minister's Office, Parliament House, the Magistrates Court,the Public Service Commission Office, the Ministry of Finance and three vehicles overturned and government cars smashed in government parking lots. One company targeted was power company Shoreline, owned by the King. The aristocratic class control the economic and political aspects of life against which the people have been resisting for years. The protests and riots are part of the struggle against the feudal system which is oppressing the Tongan people for years.

20-11-2006 19:08

Local newpaper editor Danny Lockwood is being sued by Dewsbury Labour MP
Shahid Malik.
Lockwood has decided this matter is all about freedom of speech and has decided to start a fighting fund to pay his legal team.
However he has enlisted the help of resident BNP "folk" band "Red Claire"

Red Claire consists of BNP councillors Colin Auty and Paul Cromie along with BNP candidate Frank Atack.
Red Claire played at this years BNP Red,White and Blue festival.
They are playing at the Park Public House in Batley,a pub that regularly holds BNP meetings and has even had Nick Griffin speak there.

This isn't the first time Lockwood and the Press have shown support for the BNP.
But this has been the most open and blatant.

Please register your polite protests with the Dewsbury Press.

OAXACA: MEXICO’s WATERSHED.

09-11-2006 18:36

Mass protests against fraud in the wake of the Mexican
presidential elections this summer and a
six-months-old standoff in Oaxaca between the
authorities and protesters have converted Mexico into

may have underestimated populist power buoyant today
on mass communication techniques and encouraged by the
swing to the left on the Latin American continent.
