Adolescence, the new teen drama, is pro-censorship propaganda, partly paid for by the state, that is now being seized upon by Labour MPs as ?evidence? that we need more online censorship.

Western Sahara Urgent Action

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Monday May 15, 2006 23:21author by Gar Fitzpatrick Report this post to the editors

EU to legitimize Morocco's illegal occupation of Western Sahara with fisheries agreement.

The International Court of Justice and successive United Nations resolutions have made clear that Western Sahara is Africa’s last colony, with a right to self-determination. For the past 30 years Morocco has occupied the territory and many of the Saharawi people have been forced into exile in Algeria.

Tomorrow the European Parliament votes on a fisheries agreement with Morocco. The proposed agreement will allow EU boats to fish in the waters of Western Sahara, strengthening the Moroccan occupation.

Please email your MEPs to express your concern.
National governments still have several weeks to decide so there is still time to lobby them aswell.

A Draft letter to MEPs and national governments is online at: http://www.fishelsewhere.org/action.htm

You can find contact details for MEPs at:

MEPs today voted in favour of a Fisheries Agreement that will allow European ships to fish off the coast of illegally occupied Western Sahara, despite claims that this violates international law. Amendments by Green and left-wing GUE groups were voted down, despite support from campaigners and members states like Sweden, Finland and Ireland, and rebellions from within the Socialist (PES) and Conservative (EPP) groups.

The agreement still has to pass the Fisheries Council made up of national government representatives.
Keep up the pressure by contacting the minister responsible for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, Dermot Ahern:

Noel Dempsey, not Dermot Ahern, is the minister. Oops.
