Efforts stepped up to persecute and arrest Julian Assange

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Wed, 01/12/2010 - 6:25pm

Two days after Wikileaks released thousands of embarrassing U.S. secret diplomatic cables, Interpol has had added Julian Assange to its "most wanted" list. The timing is supposedly coincidental as the "red notice" is supposedly about him be being wanted for questioning in Sweden over rape charges. These rape charges themselves arose two days before Assange's application for citizenship were rejected in Sweden, which would have given him protection as a whistleblower under Swedish laws.

Coverage of UK student protests on London Indymedia

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sat, 27/11/2010 - 10:55pm

London Indymedia has been playing a very important role in bringing to light police brutality against students protesting against cuts to student assistance and massive hikes in tertiary fees. Many of the people assaulted were in fact children. London Indymedia were among the first to reveal footage of police using a toxic fire extinguisher on the crowd and to show footage of police charging the crowd with horses - something they had publically denied.
