Friday vigils for David Hicks

Friday, January 19, 2007 - 11:00

It's been more than five years since the first hooded, shackled men were brought to the US prison at Guantanamo and although not a single prisoner has been tried or convicted of any crime, more than 400 still remain, including David Hicks.

The Australian government is under increasing pressure to bring Hicks home. Civil Rights Defence is holding
a vigil outside the department of foreign affairs offices in Melbourne, every Friday, until Hicks is brought home.

Please come along from noon-1pm to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Casselden Place, at the corner of Lonsdale and Spring streets, Melbourne.

about GLW - the need for alternative media

In these days of growing media concentration, Green Left Weekly is a proudly independent voice committed to human and civil rights, global peace and environmental sustainability, democracy and equality. By printing the news and ideas the mainstream media won't, Green Left Weekly exposes the lies and distortions of the power brokers and helps us to better understand the world around us.

Green Left Weekly, launched in 1990 by progressive activists to present the views excluded by the big business media, is now Australia's leading source of local, national and international news, analysis, and discussion and debate to strengthen the anti-capitalist movements.
