Of them, a hundred and eight are immigrants who where arrested between the 6th and 17th of December 2008.<br /><br />So far forty-five people are thought to already be behind bars awaiting trial (with twenty-five of them being immigrants). Fifteen of them have already been confirmed:<br /><br />• Ten people are being held at Koridalos prison in Athens<br />• Four people at Avlona, and<br />• One person at Diavata<br /></div><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-size:85%;">(Source: Open assembly for Solidarity to the Arrestees of the Greek Uprising after communication with the legal representatives of arrestees)</span><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">It 's worth noting that nineteen of the people arrested in the city of Larissa are being prosecuted under the new anti-terrorism laws, something that has initiated a wave of solidarity actions and protests in that city and elsewhere.<br /><br />In an attempt to rise money/show solidarity to all arrestees of December’s social apprising, a series of solidarity events including concerts have and are still taking place all over Greece.<br /></div><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Edinburgh financial aid to those arrested </span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Half of the money raised during January’s gig here in Edinburgh has already reached Greece.

One main reason is that a considerable amount of the cases has not reached the court yet. It is expected, however, that in the forthcoming months, there should be a clearer view on the number of those arrested, the charges they face, as well as any courts’ decisions.</div>alexisedinburgh2008http://www.blogger.com/profile/12964466130266289639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3155782996211625742.post-82559962050916068652009-01-31T12:12:00.003+00:002009-01-31T12:13:34.080+00:00!

The organization called on governments to limit their deployment to life-threatening situations or to suspend their use.<br /><br />The call came as the organization released one of the most detailed reports to date on the safety of the stun gun. The report "USA: Less than lethal?" is being published as the number of people who died after being struck by Tasers in the USA reached 334 between 2001 and August 2008.<br /><br />"Tasers are not the 'non-lethal' weapons they are portrayed to be," said Angela Wright, US researcher at Amnesty International and author of the report. "They can kill and should only be used as a last resort.<br /><br />"The problem with Tasers is that they are inherently open to abuse, as they are easy to carry and easy to use and can inflict severe pain at the push of a button, without leaving substantial marks."<br /><br />Amnesty International’s study – which includes information from 98 autopsies – found that 90 per cent of those who died after being struck with a Taser were unarmed and many did not appear to present a serious threat.<br /><br />Many were subjected to repeated or prolonged shocks – far more than the five-second "standard" cycle – or by more than one officer at a time. Some people were even shocked for failing to comply with police commands after they had been incapacitated by a first shock.<br /><br />In at least six of the cases where people died, Tasers were used on individuals suffering from medical conditions such as seizures – including a doctor who had crashed his car when he suffered an epileptic seizure. He died after being repeatedly shocked at the side of the highway when, dazed and confused, he failed to comply with an officer's commands.<br /><br />Police officers also used Tasers on schoolchildren, pregnant women and even an elderly person with dementia.<br /><br />In March 2008, an 11-year-old girl with a learning disability was shocked with a Taser after she punched a police officer in the face. The officer had been called to the school in Orange County, Florida, after the child had become disturbed, pushing desks and chairs and spitting at staff.<br /><br />Existing studies – many of them funded by the industry – have found the risk of these weapons to be generally low in healthy adults. However, these studies are limited in scope and have pointed to the need for more understanding of the effects of such devices on vulnerable people, including those under the influence of stimulant drugs or in poor health.<br /><br />Recent independently-funded animal studies have found that the use of these kinds of electro-shock weapons can cause fatal arrhythmias in pigs, raising further questions about their safety on human subjects. It was also recently reported that nearly ten per cent of 41 Tasers tested in a study commissioned by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, delivered significantly more current than the manufacturer said was possible, underscoring the need for independent verification and testing of such devices. <br /><br />Although most of the 334 deaths nationwide have been attributed to factors such as drug intoxication, medical examiners and coroners have concluded that Taser shocks caused or contributed to at least 50 of these deaths.<br /><br />"We are very concerned that electro-shock weapons such as Tasers have been rolled out for general use before rigorous, independent testing of their effects," said Angela Wright.<br /><br />article <a href="http://www.amnesty.org/en/news-and-updates/report/tasers-potentially-lethal-and-easy-abuse-20081216">source</a>alexisedinburgh2008http://www.blogger.com/profile/12964466130266289639noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3155782996211625742.post-22108465452158231562008-12-19T13:05:00.001+00:002009-01-14T23:22:46.719+00:00Contact with Greenpeace for Legal SupportHello Group<br /><br />The police will uphold and protect the right to peaceful protest. If<br />your protests are peaceful and nonviolent (no shouting, throwing things,<br />waving fists, rude language and aggressive and illegal behaviour) then<br />you should be fine. Article 11 of the European Convention on Human<br />Rights (to which Scotland is a signatory) states<br /><br />ARTICLE 11<br /><br />1. Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and to<br />freedom of association with others,<br /><br />including the right to form and to<br />join trade unions for the protection of his interests.<br /><br />2. No restrictions shall be placed on the exercise of these rights<br />other than such as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a<br />democratic society in the interests of national security or public<br />safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of<br />health or morals or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of<br />others. This article shall not prevent the imposition of lawful<br />restrictions on the exercise of these rights by members of the armed<br />forces, of the police or of the administration of the State.<br /><br />This means that if you cause an obstruction, or cause harassment, alarm<br />and distress to others, or commit acts of violence the police have the<br />right to stop the protest ie impose lawful restrictions.<br /><br />So the best thing (and what every organisation who wants to organise a<br />legal protest<br /><br />does) would be to go in person to the police and explain<br />what you are planning to do, where and for how long and ask for their<br />advice and support. They should then treat it as a legal demonstration<br />and be there to ensure there is no violence and the laws of peaceful<br />protest are being obeyed. There may be streets or areas in Edinburgh<br />where they do not wish you to go, or there is a risk of<br />obstruction/congestion. They usually film and photograph protesters on<br />illegal protests. So establishing a polite and reasonable dialogue with<br />the police is a really good idea!<br /><br />Good luckalexisedinburgh2008http://www.blogger.com/profile/12964466130266289639noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3155782996211625742.post-8786746269016691222008-12-17T12:58:00.005+00:002009-01-14T23:23:16.489+00:00Acropolis Solidarity Banner<div class="entry-date"><abbr class="published" title="2008-12-17T13:32:36-0800">Wednesday, December 17, 2008</abbr></div> <div class="entry-content"> <p class="small">Radio reports this morning that the ballistic examination is out and the “ricocheting” scenario is now official.

It starts at Teviot , going at George square that all the university buildings are.

The protest yesterday was good i thought.<br /><br />However, the local press is not reporting the issues very well:<br />http://edinburghnews.scotsman.<wbr>com/latestnews/Riots-continue-over-police-shooting.4773695.jp<br />http://news.scotsman.com/latestnews/Havoc-in-cities-across-Greece.4773233.jp<br /><br />You should consider writing a press release in advance of this wednesdays<br />demonstration, and email it to the scotsman and evening news newspapers,<br />so that you can get some better press coverage. I have attached a file<br />with some press information that I use for demonstrations, that you might<br />find useful.<br /><br />I would recommend sending a press release today, so that it gets used in<br />2moro's newspapers, and potentially some reporters come to wednesdays<br />protest.<br /><br />Ill see you on wednesday!<br /><br />Solidarity,<br /><br />Jon<br /><br />PRESS ACTION.<br /><br />1. Call up before action to check contact details are correct, they go out of date fairly fast.<br />2. Press releases best sent night before, to get in next days paper.<br />3. Call them up to make sure they got it, and to remind them of its existence.<br />4. If it doesn't get picked up, call them and ask why, so that you can learn.<br /><br />Edinburgh Evening News<br />news_en@edinburghnews.com<br />0131 620 8734<br /><br />Scotsman<br />newsdeskts@scotsman.com<br />newsdesk_ts@scotsman.com<br />0131 620 8503<br /><br />Herald<br />0141 302 7000<br />news@theherald.co.uk<br /><br />Scottish press association<br />news@scottishpressassociation.co.uk<br />0870 830 6725 (Newsdesk)<br /><br />The Big Issue in Scotland, Editorial<br />0141 352 7260<br />editorial@bigissuescotland.com<br /><br /><br />We would like to thank him for his helpalexisedinburgh2008http://www.blogger.com/profile/12964466130266289639noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3155782996211625742.post-23687299790119068162008-12-09T11:41:00.000+00:002008-12-09T11:45:03.703+00:00DiscussionIn this topic please feel free to write your thoughts, or publish links and articles that you believe that are worth reading.<br /><br />Keep in mind that we have to think of some slogans in English, so feel free to post your ideas.alexisedinburgh2008http://www.blogger.com/profile/12964466130266289639noreply@blogger.com71tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3155782996211625742.post-29460271554926940652008-12-08T23:11:00.002+00:002009-01-14T23:25:39.629+00:00Photos By Chryssa<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0JJx3af0zCM/ST2p4M_KCWI/AAAAAAAAAAk/B3nC7bBj4TA/s1600-h/DSC_0035.JPG">Photos By Chryssa</a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0JJx3af0zCM/ST2x-cJA1LI/AAAAAAAAABs/sWpQJy73Vh4/s1600-h/HDSC_0057.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;
