binyam.jpgLast November we reported how Binyam Mohamed had been tortured with the enthusiastic participation of the British security services. 

Miliband has slapped a gagging order on the High Court to hush up the incident on the ground that it endangers national security. It is quite clear is all that is really endangered is the Miliband’s reputation How can the man possibly posture before the world as a democratic and defender of civil liberties if this shameful secret comes out?

 
Israel's massacre in Gaza - a balance sheet of the struggle Print E-mail

hamas.jpgIsrael has recently declared a unilateral ceasefire, bringing to an end one of its bloodiest military incursions into the Gaza strip. As the dust settles, the scale of the devastation becomes clear: over 1,300 Palestinians lie dead, with estimates of the number wounded topping 5000. Much of Gaza's infrastructure lies in ruins, with power stations, water networks and sewage systems destroyed; homes, mosques and even schools have been reduced to rubble. According to the UN, the cost of rebuilding Gaza could run into billions of dollars.

winterschool2009_4a.jpgOver the weekend, from the 9th to the 11th of January, the International Marxist Tendency organised the 5th Northern European Winter School in Berlin. The number of comrades and IMT sections participating was much greater in comparison to previous years. Around 20 to 40 comrades attended the Winter Schools in past years. That was already a success, but this year we had 150 comrades and sympathisers from Germany, Poland, Russia, Hungary, Slovakia, Serbia, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, Britain, France, Italy and Austria coming to a city with a great revolutionary history and tradition. We also had guests and speakers from Pakistan, Venezuela, Brazil, Canada and the United States. The attendance clearly exceeded our expectations and put a big question mark over the name "Northern European Winter School".

hs.jpg‘Shock therapy’, or rapid mass privatisation, in the former Soviet bloc 1990s was responsible for the early deaths of 1m people. This is the principal conclusion of a paper published in the medical journal 'The Lancet' (15.01.09). Not only did privatisation devastate the economy and the means of feeding, clothing and housing their people; it also shredded the social welfare system and all the social support mechanisms built up over decades. As a result unemployed, desperate people with no hope just went to pieces.
