The andolan (protest) was initially called for April 6th-9th, but in response to police violence it was extended indefinitely. Every part of society has held marches and demos against the king. Lawyers, journalists, doctors, women, old people, families of 'disappeared' people, professors, schoolkids, tourists, government workers, NGO workers, students and families of police have taken part. Police have attacked all of the above, perhaps with the exception of their own families!

(T)he People's Kifah (an Iraqi humanitarian group), involved hundreds of academics and volunteers in a survey conducted in coordination with "grave-diggers across Iraq." The group said it also "obtained information from hospitals and spoke to thousands of witnesses who saw incidents in which Iraqi civilians were killed by U.S. fire"...The project was abandoned after one of the researchers was captured by Kurdish militiamen and handed over to U.S. forces. He was never seen again. But in less than two months' work, the group documented about 37,000 violent civilian deaths up to October 2003.

"Yesterday, (Ontario Provincial Police) representative Monte Kahoko was at the site to inform the People that we are running out of time. Last night 2 van loads of men in army gear were spotted headed down Blossom Ave. in Caledonia toward 54 Hwy. Co-incidence???

In May 2005, three stunned and traumatized Yemeni men emerged from a covert network of US-run prisons scattered across continents. They had been transported from site to site on secret flights and detained since 2003 without any contact with the outside world. Amnesty International went to Yemen to interview them and the men's gruelling stories shed a glimmer of light on the murky system of captures, transfers and secret detention that has been developed by the USA in the "war on terror".

"Absolutely no regrets because, in the end, we got poor people in this town 2.7$ million dollars - put directly into their pockets - and we all see how much hope and relief this brought! If someone had asked me if netting 2.7 million was worth six months in jail, obviously I'd (have) answered "yup".
