police immigration swoop on camden tube station yesterday - is this legal?

immigration officers, police, and transport police blocked people coming on and off the tube at camden for more than two hours yesterday afternoon and randomly searched members of the public they didn't like the look of. this exercise of police state control must surely be challengable in the courts, and the erosion of civil rights must be stopped.

VENEZUELA WEEK OF SOLIDARITY 9th-15th AUGUST

PROGRAMME OF EVENTS

In Venezuela any elected official can be removed mid-term by a simple referendum majority. This extremely democratic constitutional right (imagine if we could've voted out Blair a year ago, before the war) was originally suggested by President Hugo Chávez, who ironically will be now the first person to face this test, on 15th August 2004.

Supporting him are the country's poor majority, who have seen their lives transformed with new schools, hospitals and housing, finally tasting their slice of the huge oil-revenue pie. Against him are the local elite who are used to owning Venezuela, and the Washington warmongers who are used to owning its oil.

In London we are holding a week of events in solidarity with the Venezuelan people, and to tell the US and UK governments, who've already backed one coup against Chávez, to keep their hands off Venezuela! Get involved now if you want to help or find out more about how power to the people is a reality and spreading throughout the world. Read more >>

Demo Against National Front/Al-Mhajiroun Rally in Trafalger Square

Sunday 25th July sees a rally in Trafalgar Square at 1pm, by the Islamic fundamentalist group Al-Mahajiroun.
The National Front have called a counter demonstration.

The new anti-fascist group Anti-Fa sees very little difference between the fascism of the National Front and the Islamic fundamentalism of Al-Mahajiroun.
Indeed their views on gay people, Jews, Women, Trades Unionists, Anarchists etc would appear to be virtually identical.

Meet outside the national Gallery at 12.30pm. Read more >>
