Alert: March on UEFA Annual Congress - Kick Israel out of UEFA, Free Palestinian Footballersinminds Join us on 24th May as we march on the UEFA Annual Congress to demand UEFA not hold the European Under-21 championships in Israel this June, and kick apartheid Israel out of UEFA and demand the immediate release of the Palestinian footballers Mohammed Sadi Nimer and Omar Abu Roweis who are still languishing in Israeli dungeons.  Omar Abu Roweis was the goalkeeper for the Palestinian Olympic Team, whilst Mohammed Sadi Nimer, a former player on the Palestinian National team, plays for a football club in Bethlehem. Both footballers were abducted by Israeli soldiers in February 2012 raids on their homes and have been tortured at Al Moskobiyeh interrogation centre in Jerusalem. Mohammed Sadi Nimer is currently held in the Negev at Ramon prison. Another Palestinian footballer Zakaria Issa, who was detained in Al Ramla prison, died soon after his release due to medical neglect during his incarceration. Football players Ayman Alkurd, Shadi Sbakhe and Wajeh Moshate, as well as over 1,400 other Palestinians in Gaza, were killed and the Rafah National Stadium was destroyed during Israel’s 2008-09 onslaught on Gaza. The stadium had previously been destroyed in 2006, and again destroyed just last year in 2012. Mahmoud Sarsak, a young footballer from Rafah refugee camp in Gaza, who had played professionally for the Palestine National Football Team, was abducted by Israeli soldiers at a checkpoint while on his way to join a football club in Balata refugee camp in the West Bank. He was imprisoned and tortured by Israel for over 3 years without charge or trial. He only won his freedom last July after 96 days of hunger strike. Upon his release he has called for a sports boycott of Israel: "I call on all those who spoke out for my release and the release of the Palestinian hunger strikers, to once again show their commitment to justice and equality by insisting that UEFA move their competitions away from Israel. The cultural and sporting boycott and other forms of boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) were vital in the fall of the South African apartheid regime, and similar initiatives will be vital to ending Israeli apartheid." We will be joining the European Football United Against Apartheid initiative, with the march starting at 12 noon outside St Pancras station and culminating at 2pm in a rally outside the UEFA Annual Congress at Grosvenor House Hotel on Park Lane. People coming from Jummah prayers can head straight for the rally which should continue till after 4pm.

The Palestinian Prisoners Campaign aims to raise awareness for the plight of Palestinian prisoners and build solidarity for their struggle and work towards their freedom. The campaign was launched by Innovative Minds (inminds.com) and the Islamic Human Rights Commission (ihrc.org) on the occasion of Al Quds Day 2012 (on 17th August 2012), since then we have held actions every fortnight in support of Palestinian prisoners, if you can spare two hours twice a month then please join the campaign by coming to the next action.

 [all videos (over 200)..] Featured MP3 Podcast  "Scalp bounties were the payment of a fee for proof of death of an Indian, any Indian, on a graduated scale. At the top of the scale they would pay the highest amount for proof of death by way of the production of a scalp, or bloody red skin - origin of the term 'red skins' - of an adult male Indian. Half that fee would be payed for proof of death by the same means of a adult female, quarter to be payed for proof of death of a child, child being defined as as a human being under 10 years of age down to and including a fetus.. every single colony on the east coast, every state of the Union and territory of the United States within the confines of the 48 contiguous states, had in place, in some period of its history, a scalp bounty - removed usually when there were no longer sufficient number of Indians left to kill to warrant its continuation..that's as absolutely clinical a genocidal policy as is possible to envision, they weren't interested in any particular Indians, any Indians would do and they would pay for proof of death - they wanted all of us dead."
