Another Iranian journalist, Abdolreza Tajik , is imprisoned without charge and is being mistreated. The International Federation of Journalists have issued this statement. Full text and more details at link.

The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) today called on Iranian authorities to release journalist Abdolreza Tajik who has been in detention for 50 days without being charged. His family claims he has been ill treated in jail.

"The failure to produce evidence that he has broken the law and the fears that he is being abused in jail should be enough to indicate that there is a terrible injustice here," said Aidan White, IFJ General Secretary. "If there is no case to answer he should be freed immediately and all the allegations of ill treatment must be investigated." read full story / add a comment

New Scient interviews Phil Jones, director of the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, UK. Full text at url.

Do you feel that climate science and policy should be separate?

PJ I think there should be some separation. What we say about the science should be treated separately from what's happening with the policy. There should be an acceptance that the climate has warmed since measurements began. OK, there's then debate about what caused that warming. But I do find it difficult engaging with people who deny the evidence and say the world has not warmed. read full story / add a comment

A ban on trade union donations to the Labour Party will not benefit anyone other than the enemies of the working class and the organised working class in particular.

The Green Party leader John Gormley has announced that the ban is to be introduced, alongside a ban on corporate donations, so much for the Green Party’s veneer of radicalism. This “radicalism” has become very stale and particularly mouldy also. Of course the proposed legislation is designed to appear even handed.

But the truth of the matter is that the link between Labour and the working class is potentially very important and the bourgeois understand that very well.
