Why we are anti-capitalist. Why we are fighting the G8.

We are anti-capitalist because we do not believe that capitalism can be consistent with democracy, social justice, environmental sense or the fight against AIDS: an argument, via Starbucks and Bill Gates, for why the South is all of us. Read more >>

G8 press accrediation refused to freelance journo

London based freelance journalist and film maker with an assignment to cover the G8 summit in Scotland has been refused press accrediation after vetting by police. No reason or justification has been given for the refusal which could easily been seen as state interference in freedom of expression under article 10 of the human rights act.

The journalist involved has no convictions and is a full member of the NUJ who had applied for official press accreditation to attend press conferences at the G8 summit over a month ago.

Around 3,000 journalists are expected to attend the G8 summit where they will out number delegates by two to one. The journalists who will attend have been hand picked by the state.

Stay tuned to indymedia for something other than corporate state sanctioned celebrity obsesed press coverage of the G8. Read more >>
