Public Meeting: Can Human Rights Survive?

The war on terror has had many victims, many of them unseen, some of them here at home.

British Ambassador promises: "We will not deport Pegah Emambakhsh"

Unfortunately the case records would leave us to doubt it. The
impression we get is that it is an attempt to demonstrate the absurdity
of the situation, that is, that Pegah will not endure any form of persecution
in Ahmadinejad’s Iran and the ruthless Islamic courts!

Who wants Pegah’s Blood?

Roberto Malini - Matteo Pegoraro - Gruppo EveryOne | 21-08-2007 23:50 | Migration | Repression | Sheffield

The case of Pegah Emambakhsh is the umpteenth case of violation of human rights by our governments.
The EveryOne Group, the activists and the politicians who have joined the appeal for her life have obtained a postponement until 28th August. But we must not be deceived, the government is just waiting for public opinion to be distracted by other events in order to force Pegah up the plane steps and send her to her death.. Similar deportations have already taken place, even in recent times, in the United Kingdom and other countries which like to be defined “democratic”. If we abandon Pegah, we will surrender our humanity and “they” will win.

Cimate camp and terrorism

It should come as no surprise that police are applying draconian anti-terrorism ´legislation´ to combat eco-protestors at the Climate Camp. For the authorities networks of dissent are the real terrorists.

DO IT YOUR FUCKING SELF:

project sheffield | 26-07-2007 09:21 | Sheffield

You know if you desire something to happen, make it happen yourself. Of course if there was more space in Sheffield then we might just see more of what we desire. This was in part what made

http://www.matilda.aktivix.org/ happen over 2 years back. So where do those people who helped put on over 120 events find themselves in the present? There seems to be a lot happening here in Sheffield, but it ain't my thing and to be frank, white man can not do the funk.
