With mounting concern over policy brutality I hope that this protest is well supported. New Labour has presided over a situation where we are rapidly becoming a police state.
PROTEST: STOP POLICE BRUTALITY
DEFEND THE RIGHT TO PROTEST
THURSDAY 16 APRIL 5.00PM
NEW SCOTLAND YARD
10 BROADWAY, LONDON SW1
Called by Stop the War, CND, Palestine Solidarity Campaign and
British Muslim Initiative.
More video evidence has emerged of the unrestrained brutality
of the policing on the G20 demonstrations. Stop the War has
experienced the same kind of policing on the Gaza
demonstrations in January this year and also at the George
Bush demonstration in June last year.
In one incident on the 3rd January march, police attacked
marchers in the Hyde Park underpass, creating a situation
which could have led to serious injury and death. Many
complaints were made to the IPCC [Independent Police
Complaints Commission] but that body chose not to proceed with
an investigation. The IPPC is now discredited and must be
replaced.
It is clear that there is now a co-ordinated attempt by the
police to criminalise peaceful protest in this country. This
is a conspiracy against our democracy which requires serious
investigation. We will be protesting outside Scotland Yard on
Thursday 16 April to make this point.
