IPP meeting tonight 7pm http://redandblackumbrella.squat.net/?p=1631 http://redandblackumbrella.squat.net/?p=1631#comments Tue, 24 Feb 2015 16:43:57 +0000 rb http://redandblackumbrella.squat.net/?p=1631 Meeting tonight at the Brolly of local campaign Smash IPP – a group against ‘Imprisonment for Protection of the Public’ sentences, which are out-dated, used unfairly, and not benefitting anyone.

“IPP is a law that means that prisoners can be kept in jail after their sentence is over for the ‘protection of the public’ and even though this law has now been abolished, thousands of people are still locked up because of it. These people have no idea when they will be released, and some could potentially be in jail the rest of their lives.”

Jail Break – All Day Fundraiser http://redandblackumbrella.squat.net/?p=728 http://redandblackumbrella.squat.net/?p=728#comments Mon, 10 Jun 2013 19:29:35 +0000 rb http://redandblackumbrella.squat.net/?p=728 j13 a5On saturday the 13th of july, cardiff abc has organised a one day anti-prison event at the red and black umbrella. The event aims at creating a wider awareness and critique of the ever expanding prison society and people’s struggles against it.

The event will run from 1-11 and is split into two distinct parts.

From 1-6 there will be space for meetings, discussions, talks, workshops and skillshares, for the most part the discussions will be relatively informal and structureless so as to not stifle creativity and originality. We are asking attendees to not bring alcohol to this portion of the event
to discourage all day drinking and encourage clear, sober and respectful interaction.

From 6-11(ish) there will be a variety of music and poetry being
performed. There is a suggested donation of £5 for this portion of the
event with any excess after costs going to cardiff abc to distribute to
various prisoners/defendants that we are in contact with (for more info on
this just ask.)

There will be hot vegan food available from the beginning of the event, as
well as a variety of relevant zines; all for donation.

Hope to see you there.

Free Bradley Manning 1,000 Days in Prison http://redandblackumbrella.squat.net/?p=575 http://redandblackumbrella.squat.net/?p=575#comments Fri, 22 Feb 2013 19:35:26 +0000 rb http://redandblackumbrella.squat.net/?p=575 On February 23, 2013, the Bradley Manning Support Network is asking supporters to take action internationally in protest of Bradley’s 1,000 day imprisoned without trial. Enough is enough.

For following his conscience and standing up for truth, through exposing the brutal reality of state intervention in Iraq and elsewhere, young whistle-blower Bradley Manning has spent three birthdays in prison. His legal defence continues to fight hard against a government prosecution that hinders access to important evidence at every turn.

In addition to aggressively persecuting Bradley with the Espionage Act and an egregious “aiding the enemy” charge, the military subjected him to unlawful pretrial punishment and has denied him his Constitutionally mandated right to a speedy trial. Bradley’s pretrial treatment has been wholly barbaric. It’s up to us as individuals to show solidarity with those who propagate truth and transparency and to ensure that the military isn’t given a free pass for their heinous acts against Bradley and people all over the world.

Join us on Saturday, February 23, in protesting Bradley’s 1,000th day in prison.

@ The Hayes (Behind Central Market) from 11am.
