Diego Garciams at High Court tomorrow, Mon-40 odd homeless at Gatwick airport, N

40 odd British 'nationals' from our colony of Diego Garcia - Chagos archipelago/British Indian Ocean Territories - have been camping out at Gatwick airport for several weeks since some were kicked out of Sussex council BandB. On Monday they are in the high court in London, something to do with demanding the right to be sent home I think!
What can you do to help them??? Read more >>

Fairford Coaches at Court of Appeal - Photos of 14 October 2004

See below several photos of the support demo outside the courts on the first day of the Fairford Coaches hearing at the Court of Appeal.

Blunkett legislates to silence lone protester at Westminster

His home is a roll of green plastic sheeting, his possessions no more than necessary to make coffee, keep warm and roll the occasional cigarette.

'BUSINESS ACTION ON HUMAN RIGHTS CONFERENCE', Oct 26/27, London

It's sham time. Thought you should know what bullshit is bubbling in the seething toxic cauldron that is 'Corporate Social Responsibility'. Shame in particular on:
*Founder-Chair of the Amnesty International UK Business Group, Sir Geoffrey Chandler:

information@amnesty.org.uk
*International Alert, Project Director, Jessica Banfield:

general@international-alert.org
*Humanist Committee for Human Rights, Holland, Marina d'Engelbronner:

info@globalreporting.org
*Danish Institute for Human Rights, Christina Schultz:

*Oxfam , Health policy advisor, Mohga Smith: 01865 312610;

msmith@oxfam.org.

*Amnesty, Campaign coordinator Economic Relations and Human Rights, Alessandra Masci
These organisations are part of the problem in the way that they help to provide companies with a smokescreen to continue business as usual. Let them know how you feel, especially if you have any links with them. Read more >>

Chavez, TNCs revolucionary

The August 2004 elections legitimized Hugo Chávez's presidency, approved by the multinational powers-that-be, despite the opposition's claims of electoral fraud. We, at El Libertario (issue 39, September/October 2004), presented an indepth analysis of the consecuences of the referendum, as well as proposals for action in the new circumstances. We shall now quote a couple of notes from that issue that express the essence of the venezuelan anarchists' perspective. Read more >>
