Five SPSC members face absurd charges of
'racially aggravated conduct' for protesting the Gaza massacres during a
performance at the 2008 Edinburgh International Festival by the Jerusalem
Quartet, official cultural
ambasssadors of apartheid Israel and 'distinguished IDF musicians' whom
an admiring interviewer said were of the view that 'a rifle in one hand and a violin in the other is
the ultimate Zionist statement'.The defendents will present the facts of Israeli occupation,
apartheid, programme of ethnic cleansing and British government

Just after eight thirty this morning, several members of Trident Ploughshares blocked the entrance of the Edinburgh International Conference Centre for quarter of an hour as Parliamentarians from NATO countries met for the final session of the assembly. Foreign Secretary David Milliband and the Secretary General of NATO, Anders Fogh Rasmussen were due to speak following a minute’s silence.

The Edinburgh World Justice Festival (EWJF) was inspired by the massive Make Poverty History demonstration held in Edinburgh in early July 2005.

The Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT) works for the reduction and ultimate abolition of the international arms trade, together with progressive demilitarization.

TRIDENT PLOUGHSHARES BLOCKADE AT ALDERMASTON ON 15TH JUNE 2009

It was a glorious morning as 5 separate groups made their way towards Aldermaston. At 6.30a.m. the Muriel Lesters arrived at North Gate to find it had not been opened yet for the park and ride coaches so they further locked it with their own chains and some super-glue and arranged themselves as comfortably as possible in their lock-ons and hung their peace banners.
