Hollman Morris is a familiar name in Colombia, both for his TV programme Contravía (Counter-current), which he has been directing for many years and represents a unique window to glimpse into the realities of the Colombian conflict, and also for the accusations and harassment which he has suffered from the State intelligence agency (DAS) and by the very president Uribe. read full story / add a comment

Symbol of the resistance and intifada and leader of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades the formidable but affable and thoughtful Zakaria Zubeidi readily agreed to be interviewed on the 12th November at Jenin's Freedom Theatre. Not for him the hypocrisy of paying lip service to the PA Quisling regime in Ramallah but forthright condemnation and contempt: In June 2004, he kidnapped the corrupt Israeli collaborator, then PA governor of Jenin, Haidar Irshard to "beat the shit out of him." . He also burnt down the local office of the Palestinian Legislative Council. Alleged by the Israelis to be the chief strategist of suicide bombing he was ruthlessly hunted for extermination - in one botched attempt, in 2004, an Israeli death squad killed five other brigade members, including a 14-year old boy, in a jeep carrying him, in another, nine Palestinians were killed in Jenin including four civililians on a IOF murder expedition. read full story / add a comment

When it comes to the public meeting, Arthur Scargill is one of the best performers around. He has it down to fine art. Perhaps this is down to his political up bringing as a member of the Young Communist League, where great stress was placed on the importance of making inspiring speeches. Or perhaps it has something to do with that fact that much maligned figure like Scargill needs the medium of the public meeting more than most to get across his points, and has thus has a particualr understanding of how to use public meetings to maximum effect. read full story / add a comment

This year the Ahmadinejad regime gave even more importance to the anniversary of the U.S. embassy takeover than usual so as to claim anti-imperialist credentials. The imperialist media influential in Iran also emphasized this day as the anniversary of the takeover and ignored the memory of the student movement. So two opposing celebrations were held, one by the regime in front of the U.S. embassy and the other all over Tehran and other cities, especially those with universities. The regime’s TV used edited film footage from previous years to inflate the number of pro-government forces, but they did it so unskilfully that this became a scandal. This first-hand report translated from the Iranian student newspaper Bazr details some of the day's events. A June 2009 edition of BAZR in English is available at http://www.peykeiran.com/userfiles/file/bazr-EN.pdf read full story / add a comment
