prisons

NO $$ NO JUSTICE NO LOBBY, NO US SENATE ASSISTANCE !

The NSW ALP under Morris Iemma should be very proud of itself
today with a new study showing this state is a WORLD leader.

A world leader in sending people to JAIL!

Ivan Milat has lodged a new 474D application, which is an
application to a judge for a review with a view to allowing an appeal.

He
is currently not eating, as he has been refused a request to transfer
to the mainstream gaol population on the grounds of his outstandingly
good behaviour. Ivan has been on the highest level of trust for years
in the notorious H.R.M.U. prison in Goulburn, which does not conform to
international human rights standards. Ivan Milat has always treated prison officers with respect and has never been violent.

Anarchists against prisons

Following the uprising in prisons all over Greece during April (http://athens.indymedia.org/features.php3?id=463),
due to the poor living conditions which was sparked after the beating
of anarchist prisoner Giannis Dimitrakis, disciplinary measures and
prison transfers are a daily routine to those prisoners who still dare
to speak up.

Star Crown Prosecutor Mark Tedeschi Q.C. has had another victory:
Bruce Burrell has been found guilty of murdering an elderly lady.

Channel 10 News reported, “What the jury DIDN’T know was that Mr Burrell had already been convicted of another murder…..”

This is my edit of the front page article for the next 'Just Us', the Justice Action newspaper for prisoners and their communities, which will be published soon. Watch the website for your downloadable, PDF copy.

I took a screen shot of the offending page at 6.23am and submitted a comment on the story, drawing attention to the error, at 6.33am. By 3.53pm, the offending story had been replaced by an alternative story (with a different URL) on the "National | Federal" page. But the offending page had been neither pulled nor corrected.

In 1994 Phuong Ngo was wrongfully convicted of the murder of John Newman: yet another innocent man framed by N.S.W. police with the connivance of the N.S.W. government and its judiciary. Mr Ngo remains in gaol: in fact he is in the HRMU (High Risk Management Unit) in Goulburn, with a lot of other political prisoners of N.S.W. Why are they in a 'high risk management' unit when they are model prisoners?

David Hicks

AS DAVID HICKS’ legal team prepares David for a trip back to Australia, Terry Hicks travels to Sydney to speak out against the ‘war on terror’.

If we look at the people arrested on suspicion of terrorism offences, the figures are rather disproportionate; about half of them arrested were Muslim. In plain English: Muslims are a group causing very little terrorism in Europe, while at the same time much more likely to be arrested on suspicion of it. The constant media coverage of Muslims being arrested creates the false image of a serious threat in order to benefit the imperialist world-view Washington wants us to adopt.
