Police attack anti-Bush protestors


Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

bush-protest.jpgBy Stewart Office | The ban on the demonstration down Whitehall to protest the visit of war criminal George Bush was enforced with violence by the Metropolitan police. Two protestors were hospitalised by baton weilding police. Stop the War Coalition have organised over 20 national protests all of which have been peaceful. We have written a letter of protest to the Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith.

GeorgeGalloway MP, a vice president of the Stop the War Coalition, has also written a letter of protest to the Commissioner of Police, Sir Ian Blair. Images of the demo can be found here and here.

Police Brutality

Two protestors were hospitalised after police batoned those who approached the security fence around the protest free ‘green zone’. The image below shows one hospitalised protestor being pulled towards the police before being struck on the head and back.

Civil liberties another casualty of war

Prominent supporters of Stop the War Coalition condemned police violence. Human rights campaigner Bianca Jagger said, “Our civil liberties are becoming another casualty of the ‘war on terror’. I was born in a dictatorship and look with great concern at recent erosions of our liberties. At the demonstration today all I wanted to do with others was to peacefully deliver my letter to the Prime Minister. I was prevented from doing so and instead witnessed brutality towards the demonstrators.”

Andrew Murray, Chair of StWC, said, “We condemn the decision of the British government and police to deny the British public the right to peacefully demonstrate while acting on behalf of the criminal administration in the USA. We also denounce the brutal conduct of many police officers towards demonstrators in Whitehall. This evening’s events highlight both the growing menace to freedoms in Britain and also the fear that George W Bush and Gordon Brown have of being held to account for their disastrous war policies.”

    It good to know policing is still done professionally in the UK and is now controlled by “Common Purpose” graduates.

    go to goggle video and type in “Common Purpose” to understand what is going on.

    go to the 5th vid down first re Plymouth council.
