Sat 26 June protest against Army Show Room: withdraw troops from Afghanistan
SHUT DOWN THE ARMY SHOWROOM
BRING THE TROOPS HOME FROM AFGHANISTAN
PROTEST
1.30pm SATURDAY 26 JUNE
KINGSLAND SHOPPING CENTRE, KINGSLAND HIGH ST, DALSTON E8
(opposite Dalston Kingsland station)
********************************************
Ten Nato soldiers, including seven Americans, were killed on 7 June 2010, the day Afghanistan overtook Vietnam to become the longest war in US history.
The US has spent over $300 billion on the war in Afghanistan, where it currently has over 100,000 troops, at a cost of a million a year for each one.
Britain is spending £6 billion on close on 10,000 troops, who, at an escalating rate of deaths and injuries, have no other purpose than to bolster failed US war policies and to save the face of the politicians who took this country into an unjustified and unwinnable war.
Most people in Britain, according to the opinion polls, want the troops withdrawn. President Karzai's government is thoroughly corrupt. The continuing occupation only makes terrorist outrages more likely.
26 June is Armed Forces Day. We don't want any more soldiers being recruited or being sent to kill and to die. Young people should not feel forced to join up to escape rotting on the dole. Instead of cuts in public services, end the spending on the war in Afghanistan and on nuclear missiles. Put the money into education and jobs.
**************************************************
Please join us at our protest outside the Army Show Room in Dalston and tell the Con Dem government to bring the troops home.
If you can help publicise the protest please contact me for leaflets.
**************************************************
There will be similar protests outside army contact points in Hounslow and Bromley.
Justice Not Vengeance is organising other activities, including a peace walk between 25 June and 1 July from London to Colchester in support of soldier Joe Glenton, who is being held in military prison in Colchester for refusing to return to Afghanistan to fight in a war he longer believes in. For details of this, and other activities, go to http://unarmedforcesday.wordpress.com or ring Maya on 01424 431088.

Demonstration Against Israeli brutality, Saturday
Israel’s unprecedented massacre of peace activists on the Gaza flotilla has produced an outrage around the world.
On Monday London saw a magnificent protest called at just a few hours’ notice, as did many other towns and cities across the country.
This Saturday there is another emergency demonstration, which we need to make a big as possible.
Attached to this email is a flyer. Please print or photocopy some copies and spread them around your workmates, your trade union and community groups and your streets.
Hackney Stop the War activists will be leafleting stations and shopping centres between now and Saturday, but everyone can play apart in making this the demonstration a big as possible.
GAZA FLOTILLA NATIONAL DEMONSTRATION
ASSEMBLE 1.30PM DOWNING STREET LONDON
Stop the war is also holding a conference on Islamophobia on Saturday. This was to have been an all-day event, but has now been shortened so that people can go on the demonstration.
Although only half a day now, the conference is important. The intensification of the EDL racist marches have highlighted the extent to which Muslims are demonised in our society and the Stop Islamophobia conference will bring together an impressive list of speakers to lead the discussion on how this can be countered.
Anyone who wishes to attend can still do so.

since the start of the year.
As the general election approaches, Stop the War groups will
be campaigning to force the issue of Afghanistan onto the
political agenda.
On March 27 there will be a Troops Out of Afghanistan day of
action. Local Stop the War groups will be organising protests
and petitioning local MPs. Many local groups are organising
hustings debates and public meetings in the next few weeks.
Contact the Stop the War office for details of events in your
area: Email: office@stopwar.org.uk. Call 020 7801 2768.

3) PALESTINE PROTEST AT MAYOR OF JERUSALEM VISIT
Despite international pressure, the Israeli government
continues its persecution of the Palestinians, making a
mockery of any talk of a peace process. Not only did they
announce a huge new settlement in East Jerusalem last week,
but the Israeli police have been brutally attacking people
protesting against plans for a new synagogue right next to the
Al Aqsa Mosque. In addition, four Palestinian youths have been
shot dead by Israeli soldiers in the last few days.
On Monday 22 march, Nir Barkat -- the Mayor of Jerusalem
directly responsible for the new settlements -- is visiting
London. We are urging all our supporters in London to join the
protest outside Chatham House, where he is speaking.

More than 20 of the 78 people charged have been sent to prison
in an unprecedented campaign by the police. Almost all of
those charged are Muslims. The campaign to defend the
protestors has resulted in some good press coverage, and one
of the first defendants to plead not guilty was acquitted last
week.
Please sign the petition in defence of the protestors, which
will be delivered to the Home Office at a protest on Tuesday
30 March, 4.30pm.

Hackney Stop the War is pleased to present a showing of Winter Soldiers II.
This film, released in 2008 and not previously shown in Britain, also predicts continuity in US foreign policy - something the Obama regime has confirmed in respect of Afghanistan.
This is a rare opportunity to hear powerful and moving testimony by US soldiers condemning the occupation of Iraq and the part they played in it. We also hear from analysts and Iraqis about the motives for the occupation and the resistance to it.

************************************
1) JAILED FOR PROTESTING AGAINST ISRAELI WAR CRIMES
Young people who took part in the mass demonstrations against
Israel's attack on Gaza in January 2009 are being handed down
jail sentences for minor offences. A protest has been called
this Friday 26 February at Isleworth Crown Court and there
will be a public meeting, open to all, in Parliament next
Tuesday 2 March (details below).
Friday's protest and Tuesday's public meeting will be in
support of those now being treated so harshly by the courts,
and to defend our democratic right of protest.
Israel's barbarism -- which devastated Gaza and left 1400 dead
-- brought tens of thousands on to London's streets, including
the demonstration of over 100,000 on 10 January 2009.
Numerous complaints were made about police aggressive
behaviour on the Gaza demonstrations. Thousands of protestors
were 'kettled' -- illegally held for hours and only released
after the police had obtained their names and addresses.
In the months that followed the demonstrations, over 90
protestors were arrested -- most of them Muslims, many of them
teenagers, often in intimidating dawn raids. More than seventy
of those arrested were charged with disorder offences.
The courts are now hearing these cases. The defendants
pleading guilty are being tried first and the sentences have
been draconian. The judge has made clear that he is issuing
deterrent sentences.
We are seeing first-time offenders receiving two and a half
years imprisonment for minor offences which would not normally
face custodial sentences.
It is hard not to conclude that this is a concerted attempt by
the police and judiciary to criminalise protest, intimidating
in particular young Muslims.
Meanwhile, there has been no investigation into the aggressive
and often violent policing on the Gaza demonstrations, despite
the high level of complaints.
And while these young people are facing years in prison for
protesting against Israel's war crimes, no one is being held
to account for those crimes, which have been fully documented
by reports from the United Nations, Amnesty International,
Human Rights Watch and others.

2) GORDON BROWN APPEARING AT IRAQ INQUIRY
Stop the War has called a protest at the Iraq Inquiry on
Friday 5 March when Prime minister Gordon Brown appears to
give evidence on his role in the run up to the Iraq war.
Our protest when Tony Blair appeared on 29 January received
world wide media coverage (SEE http://bit.ly/avPIQP ). Gordon
Brown has as much blood on his hands as Blair for an illegal
war that slaughtered around one million Iraqis. As chancellor
of the exchequer, he bankrolled the war and never publicly
distanced himself from plans as they were hatched for the
invasion of Iraq.
Since becoming prime minister, Brown has been zealous in
continuing the war policies of his predecessor, not least in
his support for the unwinnable war in Afghanistan, which the
latest BBC poll shows is opposed by two thirds of the British
public (SEE http://bit.ly/9meRQf ).

Hackney Stop the War Public Meeting CRISIS IN THE 'WAR ON TERROR': home and abroad
1) Please come to our next public meeting (which is also our AGM).
The new year brings a worsening of the situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan as a result of increased military intervention in that area. Iran is under renewed threat and the Yemen is now under attack. Most people want the troops brought home. The government is desperately attempting to regain the initiative by banging on about the threat of terrorism.
That means that our next public meeting will be a chance to discuss the situation and debate what we do.

Gordon Brown's international conference on Afghanistan is part of a concerted effort to revive the brand Afghanistan as "the good war". In reality the warmongers are gathering for a war council masquerading as a peace conference, which is why Stop the War has called for a blockade. Blockade Gordon Brown's War Conference | |

Queen Elizabeth Conference Centre, Westminster, London SW1P 3EEOn Friday 29 January, Tony Blair try to explain to the Iraq Inquiry the lies he used to take Britain into an illegal war. Stop the War will hold an all-day protest outside the inquiry, which will include a naming the dead ceremony, street theatre, poetry readings, music and other performances.Many military families will be there for the appearance of the man responsible for the deaths of their loved ones.It is time for the voice of the majority to be heard. Over 60% of the British public opposed the invasion in 2003. Today 52% say Blair deliberately misled parliament and the country. One in four say he should face trial for war crimes. On 29 January we will demand no whitewash by the Iraq Inquiry. Join us from 8.00am onwards |

*********************************
1) WARS IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN ON PUBLIC TRIAL
The Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are on public trial in the
next few weeks. In January we will have the opportunity to
give high profile expression to the opinion of the
overwhelming majority of people in this country, that these
wars are wrong and that they have to end. Stop the War is
calling demonstrations at both Gordon Brown's International
Conference on Afghanistan and for the day Tony Blair gives
evidence to the Iraq Inquiry. See below for details.
*********************************
2) BLOCKADE GORDON BROWN'S WAR CONFERENCE
THURSDAY 28 JANUARY
LANCASTER HOUSE, STABLE YARD, ST JAMES'
LONDON SW1A 1BB
Gordon Brown has called a conference to discuss the
Afghanistan War. It will be attended by leading players,
including Hilary Clinton, stooge Afghan President Kharzai,
President Sarkozy from France and Chancellor Angela Merkel
from Germany.
The conference aims to parade support for Obama's second troop
surge and to boost Gordon Brown in his general election
campaign, for which the lives of Afghans and British soldiers
are being cynically used .
Stop the War and CND are calling for the biggest possible
protest to attempt to blockade the conference. We will be
protesting as near as possible to the conference before it
starts, probably in the morning. The government has not
announced timings yes, so book the day off now and look out
for update mailings or check our website:
http://www.stopwar.org.uk
********************************
3) TONY BLAIR'S JUDGEMENT DAY
QUEEN ELISABETH CONFERENCE CENTRE
WESTMINSTER LONDON SW1P 3EE
Stop the War is calling a protest at the Chilcot Iraq inquiry
from 8am on the day Tony Blair gives evidence. He is due to
appear within the two weeks following 25 January and he will
be questioned all day.
Stop the War is planning a "judgement day" for Blair, which
will include protest, politics and performance. We aim to
involve all the groups and individuals that came together to
oppose Blair's criminal war, and which culminated in the
demonstration by two million people on 15 February 2003.
Many military families who lost loved ones because of Blair's
lies will be attending the Inquiry and joining our protest
outside.
There will be a naming of the dead ceremony when Blair first
appears at the morning session, followed by readings,
speeches, music and performance throughout the time he is
giving evidence.
Appearances have already been confirmed by by playwrights
Caryl Churchill and David Edgar, the band King Blues, rapper
and poet Lowkey, novelist A.L. Kennedy, actor Tim
Piggot-Smith, Bruce Kent from CND, Lancet editor Richard
Horton and many more.
We welcome more suggestions for activities to dramatise the
need for Blair to be brought to justice for his war crimes.
Student and local Stop the War groups are already calling
activist meetings to build support for Blair's Judgement Day
and to discuss proposals for activities. Please contact the
Stop the War office if you would like to be put in touch with
your local or college Stop the War group.
Please spread the word about these protests. Publicity will be
available soon. In the meantime please use every means you can
to publicise these events by forwarding this e-mail, texting
or tweeting your contacts etc.

4) L/CPL JOE GLENTON'S COURT MARTIAL HEARING
Lance Corporal Joe Glenton, the only serving British soldier
refusing to fight in Afghanistan, was released from the
Military Correction Training Centre in mid December and is now
awaiting the legal hearings prior to his court martial. The
initial legal arguments will be heard on Friday 29 January.
The army has decided that the hearing will be held at Bulford
Camp , about 10 miles from Andover, probably because it thinks
holding it in Wiltshire will diminish media coverage.
Stop the War will be organising transport to go to Bulford to
give support to Joe on the day of his first court martial
hearing. If you would be interested in going, please inform
the Stop the War office: Call 020 7801 2768 or email
office@stopwar.org.uk.

*********************************
5) BRITISH GAZA PROTESTORS IMPRISONED
It is outrageous that while the United Nations Goldstone
Report -- which listed Israel's war crimes in its attack on
Gaza and called for those responsible to be held to account --
has been ignored, those who demonstrated against these crimes
at the time are being imprisoned for their protests.
Over 60 protestors who joined the major demonstrations in
January 2009, which brought over 100,000 on to London's
streets, have been charged with 'violent disorder' offences.
Prison sentences are now being handed down by the courts.
To help those that have been charged we need film footage,
photographs or video of any of the protests outside the
Israeli Embassy or of the demonstrations on the 3rd, 10th or
17th January 2009.
If you can help, please contact Joanna Gilmore who is helping
with the defence of the protestors who have been charged:
