Top Camden councillors "held secret meetings" with MRC / NIMR in lab proposal

The Camden New journal reports rumours of secret meetings between Camden council top brass and the MRC / NIMR / Wellcome Trust consortium.

Syrian Embassy profiling Kurdish protesters

Some 100 Syrian Kurds from across the country held a protest yesterday (Wednesday, March 12th) at the Syrian embassy in London to commemorate the so-called Qamishly Uprising in 2004, where tens of Kurdish rioters were killed and thousands arrested by the Syrian police and army. The demo was again restricted and 'penned in' but one protester, wearing traditional Kurdish cloths, was allowed to deliver a protest letter to the embassy.

A digital video camera was seen in the embassy's windows filming protesters, presumably to profile and punish them, either directly, if they ever returned to Syria, or by proxy, through intimidating their families back home. Read more >>
