transit blocks cell phones to hinder protest PAUL ELIAS AP Aug 13, 2011. Transit officials blocked cell phone reception in San Francisco train stations for three hours to disrupt planned demonstrations over a police shooting. The tactic drew comparisons to those used by the former president of Egypt to squelch protests demanding an end to his authoritarian rule. Authorities there cut Internet and cell phone services in the country for days earlier this year. http://news.yahoo.com/sf-transit-blocks-cellphones-hinder-protest-073230984.html |

raiding houses over UK riots LONDON (AP) Police in London raided houses to round up more rioting suspects Thursday as Britain's big cities remained largely quiet after four days of rioting and looting that drew thousands of police officers onto the streets. Prime Minister David Cameron issued a stern warning that order would be restored by whatever means necessary. Deputy Assistant Commissioner Stephen Kavanagh said the raids to round up suspects began overnight, and more than 100 warrants would be executed. Police have already arrested almost 900 people in London since trouble began on Saturday, and 371 have been charged Hugh Orde, head of the Association of Chief Police Officers, said there would be "hundreds more people in custody" by the end of the day. Riots started after a "police shooting in London's Tottenham neighborhood" more |

Tell the FCC: Government Agencies Cannot
Censor Communications When San Francisco's mass transit agency BART shut down cell phone service in its stations to interfere with a protest against BART police, the agency violated a central tenet of our democracy, that the right to free speech is paramount. Pulling the plug on cell phones and the internet is the wrong response to political protests, whether it's in China, Egypt or San Francisco. Tell the FCC to conduct a thorough investigation and insist that government agencies must not censor cell or internet communications, even if it doesn't like the content of those communications. TAKE ACTION |

| Anonymous hacks BART website, calls for
Monday protest in San Francisco August 14, 2011 | Meghan Kelly Hacker group Anonymous hacked San Francisco’s BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) website today, calling for a protest Monday at the Civic Center station. Anonymous attacked myBart.org (originally reported by TheNextWeb) and released user information in response to shutdowns in cell service Thursday. The shutdown was an attempt at mitigating potential protests around BART police shootings. Currently, myBart.org says it is “under renovation”. A statement released by BART states that the attacks occurred today between noon and 6pm, but a tweet posted on @YourAnonNews states that the site was actually compromised as early as Friday. According to another tweet posted by the same user, the group e-mailed over 120,000 people on a BART mailing list to spread word of the protest. Anonymous does not condone violence, in a video released by the group.“Anonymous does not support violent action and it is discouraged,” said a computerized voice on the video. Cameras are encouraged, however, to “legitimize” the occasion and capture what Anonymous assumes will be police brutality. more http://venturebeat.com |

| Activists
and university students say politicians rather than protestors
involved in the recent unrest that engulfed Britain over the past
week are thieves and looters. In a meeting at the venue of University of London Union named “Riots, Recession, Resistance”, campaigners said the unrest is the result of public anger that has heated up to boiling point due to government policies especially the austerity measures. Participants in the meeting, called by campaign group Black Activists Rising Against Cuts, said the roots of the recent turbulence that began last Saturday and spread across Britain in a matter of hours cannot be traced back to the simple cause promoted by officials: opportunism by a group of 'thugs'. Participants argued that the sentiments fueling the unrest were building up for months due to a host of factors including brutal austerity measures, spending cuts hitting public services, rising unemployment, attacks on education, police tactics on demonstrations and the increased use of police stop and search powers against innocent members of the public. more http://www.presstv.ir/detail/193720.html |
| British people's anger never gone
away Fri Aug 12, 2011 An award winning British novelist believes the recent unrest in the UK has been a time-bomb ticking for a long time and an anger that has never gone away. Alex Wheatle, who was imprisoned after the 1981 Brixton unrest told the Socialist Worker that the British communities are, again as in 1981, facing with a huge economic crisis, public spending cuts, mass youth unemployment - and racist policing that has gone out of control. The novelist said that the policies adopted by the coalition government have created a situation worse than the last decade, in a country whose young people, black youths in particular, are living in total despair, according to the paper. “The youths know that all the things that the middle classes take for granted-a nice home, a secure job, and a pension-are things they will never have”, said Alex Wheatle. more http://www.presstv.ir/detail/193584.html |
| It is sad to say that the United Kingdom is heading down the
road of tyranny to be a complete police state like the United States
and Prime Minister David Cameron has announced just that today. Cameron is under the impression that the riots were caused by a “slow-motion moral collapse” without entertaining any other theories which might be a bit more accurate. It is much more convenient to blame the problems on the powerless citizens than the bankster overlords that Cameron happily serves or the police’s actions. Cameron thinks that Britain is now broken and in reaction he has said that he is going to wage “an all-out war” against what he called “gangs” but what others might call “rioters” or “protesters” depending on their motives. Prime Minister Cameron said that the riots have come out of failures of British culture to make people take responsibility for their actions. This is a bit ridiculous given that is an unfortunate reality in today’s culture around the Western world and there are not violent riots breaking out in every city on a daily basis. more http://theintelhub.com |

| The police in north London Tottenham area shot dead the
29-year-old father of four last Thursday in an incident that
triggered the worst civil unrest in Britain for decades while the
media were quick to label Duggan a gangster that first fired at
officers before they killed him. However, the Independent Police Complaints Commission said in a statement that the police fired all the shots and that a bullet lodged in an officer's radio, formerly reported to have been fired by Duggan's gun, was a “jacketed round” and police issue. "Analysis of media coverage and queries raised on Twitter have alerted us to the possibility that we may have inadvertently given misleading information to journalists when responding to very early media queries following the shooting of Mark Duggan by Metropolitan Police Service officers on the evening of 4 August," the IPCC said. "However, having reviewed the information the IPCC received and gave out during the very early hours of the unfolding incident… it seems possible that we may have verbally led journalists to [wrongly] believe that shots were exchanged,” it added. more http://www.presstv.ir/detail/193718.html |
