Canberra: KIDNAPPED, TORTURED, GAGGED.
National Day of Protest for David Hicks
Canberra Saturday 21st April, 10 am. Meet between Commonwealth Avenue Bridge and Regatta point and march to Parliament House at 11 am. David Hicks may have been gagged but we have not. He may have been tortured into 'confession' but we remember the abuse of process which preceded his plea. He may have been kidnapped but we are not going to be incarcerated by the Howard spin doctors. David Hicks is not the only victim of the 'War on Terror'. This war has fundamentally compromised our basic rights and liberties. We no longer live in a 'democracy' free from arbitrary detention. We no longer insist that prisoners should not be tortured. We are willing to see our fellow citizens kidnapped. The truth is that the 'law' David broke was only created years after he was locked up. He cannot be tried in Australia because he has not broken any Australian law. How far will they go - and what will not be justified in - the name of 'National Security'? The Howard Government has done a deal for the election year. They are trying to cover up 5 years of shameful inaction over the abuse of an Australian citizen. Don't let Howard off the hook. Join us as we tell the government that WE ARE STILL NOT HAPPY JOHN. No gag orders. No secret deals. Close Guantanamo Bay. Free David now! Organised by the Concerned Canberra Citizens Political Organisation. contact Libby 0429 496 208 Judith 0418 628 811 **************************** Darwin: Contact 0419 807 175 10am 21 April National Day of Protest -Sat 21st April, 10.00am outside the main gates and under the Fannie Bay Gaol sign ***************************** Terrorism is the war of the poor.
