Update on campaign

Hi all,

Meeting at 11am outside Bethnal Green tube, so the plan is as follows

- Distributing flyers
- Spreading the word and meeting like minded concerned people
- Monitoring the police behaviour and encouraging people to demonstrate in a non- violent manner and avoid confontation - which would be counter-productive
- Providing a basic information pack on the objectives of the group and briefing media, political groups and other pressure groups who are interested in affliliating or undertaking their own activities and support our goals

On the subject of our goals and who we are:

We are a grassroots movement of ordinary people, with views across the political spectrum who are united by one common purpose - to protest our rights and fundamental freedom.

We want to be able to express our concerns and the medium of protest when constructively done is a legitimate way for people to air their greivances. It should not be suppressed in the way it was last week in a parliamentary democracy.

OUR AIMS

- LONG TERM REFORM – Reform of police tactics deployed and the overall management of the G20 operation. New guidelines based on police role to support and facilitate peaceful protest.

- JUSTICE - Independent investigation of all alleged assaults by individual police officers.

- INVESTIGATE IAN’S DEATH - Criminal investigation into the death of bystander Ian Tomlinson and his assault by police officers on Wednesday 1st April 2009.

- KETTLING BANNED - A ban on the use of the kettling technique against non-violent protestors. Legal recognition that used against peaceful protestors, this violates article 5 and 13 of the human rights act.

Your civil liberties are under attack, stand up for them!
