marking the airport perimeter and initiated a mass Trespass on the
grass beside a runway. read full story / add a comment

We are celebrating today the victory of Mexican farmers and Civil Society in their recent conflict with the Mexican Government. read full story / add a comment

The new offences have the potential, if used in a certain way, to further curtail civil liberties and the right to protest. They are directed towards members of the Traveller community - who have called a protest on May 2nd read full story / add a comment |
