Peace campaign anecdotes from Helensburgh Court |
|
|
|
|
In December last year the Helensburgh District Court sat for the last time.
Here is one anecdote from a court case arising from the campaign to shut down the Faslane Nuclear Base:
The time when JP Stirling, presiding over a Trespassing charge at Faslane Base, was interrupted from the public gallery by Sylvia Boyes who appealed for‘Common Sense’ to prevail and that she and the accused should be tried together as they had been arrested together. “Sit down madam” commanded the JP, “Common sense plays no part whatsoever in these proceedings!!!”

Challenging Penalty Notices to stop racism & criminalisation |
|
|
|
|
Penalty Notices (PN) are increasingly being used by the police against people accused of offences ranging from “littering” to “harassment”. Arrested and taken into custody, people are offered the option of accepting a PN and paying a fine under threat of being charged and taken to court, not realising that in many cases not only they are innocent but there is insufficient evidence for them to be prosecuted.
Black Women’s Rape Action Project and Legal Action for Women recently got a penalty notice withdrawn. It had been issued against the son of one of our volunteers, a young man who suffers from severe trauma and has been picked on by police on a number of occasions. We record below how we did it.

Heckler & Koch shut down 18th Feb 2010 |
|
|
|
|
The international sales office of arms manufacturer Heckler & Koch was shut down on Thursday 18th February by anti-arms-trade activists.
The six activists arrived at H&K's Nottingham warehouse building before any employees turned up. Using D-locks and arm-tubes, one pair locked themselves to the staff entrance while another pair blockaded the goods gate. Meanwhile the other two gained access to the roof and hung anti-arms-trade banners on the front of the building.

Raytheon news...a message of hope |
|
|
|
|
Just a quick message of hope...
Yesterday, US arms manufacturers Raytheon, made a formal announcement that they will pull out of Derry city before the end of next month. While I am quite confident they will spin the story to make it look like it is part of their global restructuring plan.....the power of protest and persistence can not be underestimated on this one. For years, people in Derry have continued to campaign against the plant and at least twenty one people have been hauled before the courts with a raft of charges against them including trespass, criminal damage etc. etc...

Home Education under threat: please sign the petition |
|
|
|
|
Please consider signing this petition in support of the right, that parents have always had, to educate their children at home
Click here
In particular, the government should ensure :-
• No right of access to the family home without evidence of a crime
• No right to interview a child alone without evidence of risk of serious harm
• No CRB checks or registration for parents to look after their own children, or to informally look after those of their friends, family etc
• No licensing / registration / assessment / monitoring of methods by which parents fulfil their duties without evidence that they are failing to do so, and with specific recognition that education “otherwise” than at school is a perfectly legal option to fulfil their duty regarding education
• No undermining of parents as being in the best position to determine how to meet their child’s needs, according to their age, ability, aptitude, and any special needs they may have
• Greater focus on applying existing resources and procedures to cases of children known to be at risk, rather than dilution of these resources by routinely monitoring whole sections of the community
• Compliance with the fundamental presumption of innocence unless there is specific evidence to the contrary

A brief word about the Luton affair (from Peace News) |
|
|
|
|
Since the 7 July 2005 attacks, the great and the good of British society have been urging British Muslims to engage in the usual channels of political action, to vent their anger at British foreign policy without exploding bombs or shooting guns.
Yet when a group of angry Muslims does just that, protesting in the time-honoured way, albeit in an unusual location, the home-coming parade for the 2nd Battalion The Royal Anglian Regiment (British soldiers returning from Iraq), they have been vilified.
Those who have condemned the demonstrations so harshly should reflect on the conclusions that disaffected Muslims might draw from this incident.
