Peace in Ski Lanka, rally against death threats
|
Saturday 11am
27th January Sri Lanka Consulate 8 Sutton Place Box Hill North The Sri Lanka Consul in Melbourne has been openly supporting his government's policy of attacking socialists and all progressives who oppose a war in that country. Melbourne has been used as a base for cowardly death threat phone calls to Siri. Protest against Sri Lanka government and terrorist threats to kill United Socialist Party leader Siri. A web site has listed 27 people to be assassinated as 'traitors' to Sinhalese interests - with Siri being in the No. 1 target. Say no to a drift towards war in Sri Lanka and a killing off of anti-war, progressive leaders and activists. Background The United Socialist Party (USP) is the largest socialist party in Sri Lanka and organsies workers and urban poor from all ethnic backgrounds - Sinhalese, Tamil and Muslim. It is actively opposed to the drift towards civil war in that country and works with other parties in the anti-war coalition, the United People's Movement (UPM). more info: need transport ring 6399111 | bbc article | Yarra Councillor Stephen Jolly 0433113421 |

SHUT GUANTANAMO: FRIDAY VIGILS
|
VIGIL FOR DAVID
Friday 19 January 2007 12 noon - 1pm (and following Fridays) Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade Casselden Place (corner of Lonsdale & Spring Streets), Melbourne. It's been more than five years since the first hooded, shackled men were brought to the U.S. prison at Guantánamo and although not a single prisoner has been tried or convicted of any crime, more than 400 still remain, including Australia's David Hicks. The Australian government is under increasing pressure to act on David Hicks, and we need to make sure that we maintain that pressure. That why we're holding a vigil outside the Department of Foreign Affairs, every Friday, until David is brought home. We need as many people as possible to join us. Please spare two hours per week to attend the vigil and to help us try to get David out of Guantanamo. more info: http://www.civilrightsdefence.org | 0422 802 984 |
