PROTEST IN BOURKE STREET MALL FRIDAY 16 DECEMBER
*CHRISTMAS AT GUANTANAMO BAY: SOLIDARITY WITH VICTIMS OF TERROR LAWS -
AT HOME AND ABROAD*
For most people, Christmas means the freedom to spend time with your
friends and loved ones. But for the inmates of Guantanamo Bay, and for
the victims of Australia's terror laws, this Christmas will be one of
injustice, isolation,uncertainty ... even torture.
After four long years, David Hicks - and scores of others - have been
onfined in steel cages in Guantanamo Bay, without trial or charge. Here
in Australia, draconian anti-terror laws abolish some of our most
cherished freedoms, and give ASIO and the Australian Federal Police
carte blanche to treat the Islamic community like criminals.
*Join A speakout against the terror laws*
*Friday 16th December 5pm*
Bourke St Mall, near Myers Christmas Windows.
at the Speakout:
- erect an alternative Christmas window display - Guantanamo-style
cages to remind us of the victims of the terror laws
- defy the new terror laws by signing a seditious petition
- hear performances by artists in opposition to the terror laws
- speak out against the laws yourself
- send a message of solidarity to the victims of terrow laws and their
families
