Two more prisoners lose name supression
, 07.11.2007 00:10
The Court Of Appeal has rejected an appeal against the lifting of name supression for two more of the prisoners arrested in the October 15th raids. Tuhoe Francis Lambert , 58, and Whiri Andrew (Rangi) Kemara , 38, both of Auckland, had had name supression lifted by the Auckland District Court on Thursday November 1st, but their lawyers had immediately sought leave to appeal that decision and therefore interim supression orders were granted until the appeal could be heard. In total, 6 of the 16 arrestees have bail, with the other 10 remanded in custody at Auckland Central Remand Prison and Auckland Region Women's Correctional Facility. Of the 16, only 4 still have name supression. On bail: In custody:

Stop the Sea Lion Slaughter on the Columbia River
, 06.11.2007 19:08
This morning, news came that a federal task force is recommending the death penalty for sea lions on the Columbia river, in order to hide (for a little longer) the real and terrifying fact that humans are causing the extinction of the salmon. Ron Wyden has said he does not care. Earl Blumenauer, David Wu, and Senator Smith all say they do not care. MAKE them care. If we do nothing, then a colony of sea lions will pay the ultimate price for our apathy.

South West - A New Option When Uploading Articles
, 06.11.2007 15:08
summary Bristol Indymedia have now added South West as a new option when uploading articles. This is an ongoing part of the remodelling of Bristol Indymedia. Earlier updates can be found here: Bristol Indymedia ‘Future Directions’ Document 2007 | Redesign Update : Now Accepting Dorset, Devon, Cornwall (Kernow) | For an ongoing debate about the future of Bristol Indymedia, see: Sustaining Alternative Media - Bristol Indymedia to Bristol Social Forum | Since the closure of West Country IMC we have attempted to fill that gap as best we can, with the limited resources and volunteer time available. As a category South West can be used for those articles which do not exactly fit any of the regions already listed. All of these regions will be shown in full, and easily linked to, in our redesigned site, to be unveiled and launched hopefully sometime before New Year.Here are some suggested uses for the South West Category:1.) Articles with a clear South West content, such as articles about South West development agencies, South West transport plans, etc. 2.) Calls for solidarity events, or actions, from one region to another. Posting these events at a South West level will give them a higher, and more inclusive profile (on our new site) than simply reposting into one of the other regions. 3.) South West level Conferences, Demonsrations, etc. 4.) While we do hide, and will continue to hide, posts not of a South West relevance, we do informally accept occasional keynote articles from areas just beyond these borders, or some international calls for solidarity events, where the effort has been made to make it relevant to the regions. Please Note: We reserve the right to hide such postings, especially general cut n paste articles more suited to UK Indymedia.

Aktywistka Viva-Palestyna aresztowana na Zachodnim Brzegu Jordanu
, 05.11.2007 22:39
Wioska Bilin na okupowanym Zachodnim Brzegu Jordanu słynie z protestów i oporu wobec muru apartheidu, budowanego przez Izrael na terytoriach okupowanych. W nocy z wtorku na środę (29/30 października 2007) wioska została zaatakowana przez izraelską armię. Podczas przeszukiwania miejsca przez wojsko, aresztowana została aktywistka z Polski, redaktorka serwisu Viva Palestyna, wieloletnia działaczka Międzynarodowego Ruchu Solidarności (ISM).
Palestyńskie źródła opisujące atak na wioskę Bilin podają, że działaczka międzynarodowa została zatrzymana po próbach uniemożliwienia izraelskim żołnierzom dokonania ataku na rodzinę Burnat, związaną z Ludowym Komitetem Przeciwko Murowi i Osiedlom.

Anti-Trident Protest looses direction but continues to sing along

In a slightly weird, but entertaining, "People and Parliament against Trident" protest over a thousand marched from the Scottish Parliament to Princes Street Gardens. Though it was unclear whom the lovingly hippy-esque, socialising parade addressed its opposition to, it was good fun and meaninglessly co-incided with the "We love the NHS" demonstration in London.
9� homenaje a Aitor Zabaleta
, 05.11.2007 11:09
El 8 de diciembre de 1998 un grupo neonazi de Madrid asesin� a un vasco. Aprovechando que la Real Sociedad jugaba un partido en la capital de Espa�a, el grupo de ultraderecha Basti�n, con el violento Ricardo Guerra a la cabeza, atacaron a los aficionados y lograron rodear a uno de los vascos. Entre seis personas lo redugeron y estando de rodillas en el suelo, Ricardo le propin� un navajazo mortal en el coraz�n, raj�ndoselo de parte a parte. �Cual fue el delito imperdonable del pobre Aitor? Simplemente ser vasco. Se realiz� el juicio pero con resultados penosos: la juez se neg� a imputar el delito de asociaci�n il�cita a los integrantes de Basti�n, los 11 bestias que atacaron a los donostiarras salieron en libertad sin cargos y a Ricardo s�lo le cayeron 17 a�os de carcel. Luego, la Audiencia Provincial impuso penas tambi�n a los complices del asesinato. En cualquier caso, tan s�lo 8 a�os despu�s de los sucesos, el violento asesino de Aitor comenz� a disfrutar de frecuentes permisos penitenciarios. Cada a�o se le hace un homenaje a Aitor Zabaleta para recordar este asesinato que puede repetirse cualquier d�a y para exigir que no vuelva a ocurrir. Este a�o tambi�n se van a realizar gran cantidad de actividades y como no, t� tambi�n est�s invitado.

COMUNICAT DE PRESA
Pana nu sunt toti liberi, toti suntem prizonieri!
Foarte multi oameni sunt constienti de faptul ca originea etnica/rasiala, sexul, orientarea sexuala, varsta, situatia materiala, etc. reprezinta obstacole pentru ca anumiti indivizi sa poata beneficia de dreptul la o viata decenta prin acces la educatie, la piata fortei de munca, informare, etc. Cei exclusi ajung sa fie judecati si condamnati la o viata mizera, fara a se lua in considerare resorturile care i-au adus in aceasta stare si care le-au ingradit din start posibilitatea de a beneficia de drepturi si sanse egale cu ceilalti. Astfel, marginalizarea si saracia sunt adesea considerate a fi responsabilitatea directa a celor care sufera de pe urma lor, pe cand in realitate exista un intreg ansamblu de cauze si efecte de care cu totii suntem responsabili si care ne afecteaza direct/indirect in masuri diferite, consecintele pe termen lung putand fi dezastruoase.

In a precedent-setting decision that will have repercussions statewide, the Oregon Employment Relations Board (ERB) — citing what it termed "egregious violations" of state law — has ordered Josephine County to reinstate with full back pay and benefits over 100 former county employees who saw their jobs contracted out to private providers in 2006.
The ERB ruled that Josephine County management officials released the employees from county employment in direct retaliation for a four-day strike in January 2006 by AFSCME Local 3694. The employees contracted out worked in county mental health services, and the majority of Local 3694's union leaders and activists were part of that department.

Remembering Brad Will
, 05.11.2007 04:38
(from the latest Indypendent) "Brad Will was a New York-based independent journalist who was killed on Oct. 27, 2006, while covering a teacher-led social uprising in the impoverished southern Mexican state of Oaxaca. Before his death, Will, a freight-hopping, guitar-playing activist, had spent years on the frontlines of countless movements from efforts to save squats and community gardens in the Lower East Side to engaging in “tree-sits” for weeks at a time high in the canopy of Oregon’s endangered old-growth forests." || Remembering Brad Will || A Murder Not Forgotten

Solar-Powered Smoothie Rally Calls on SF City Hall to Implement Climate Action Plan
, 04.11.2007 22:38
On Saturday, November 3rd, San Francisco hosted one of over 1,400 rallies across the country to call on political leaders to "Step It Up" by strengthening policies to cut carbon emissions. Step It Up has called the campaign "the largest coordinated climate change event in U.S. history." Step It Up San Francisco featured a carnival-like atmosphere complete with a Toss Out Fossil Fuel sock toss, sidewalk chalk, electric cars, and solar-powered smoothies. The crowd, which was eager for more government action around climate change, gave City Hall the "green finger" by stamping their fingers with green ink and symbolically pointing at City Hall.
