It's almost unheard of for any mainstream media organisation to give positive or honest coverage of direct action, action camps etc, so on the rare occasion that it does happen, it's worth seeing.

Heres an English translation of a story which got little attention in the mainstream media, what was published was sketchy and confusing. Kathlyn Stone provided the translations for the statements and wrote the main story. The full story is at the link. On the 4th of July, U.S. military and Iraqi national guards opened fire with bullets and grenades on the Baghdad home of Abdel-Hussein Saddam. The severely wounded Abdel-Hussein was taken away and his 18-year-old daughter was left alone, injured and bleeding on the floor. Abdel-Hussein’s beaten body turned up at the Yarmouk morgue on July 6. The murder of Abdel-Hussein was the most devastating of four attacks by the U.S. military on the Iraq Freedom Congress in the past 10 months. The IFC is comprised primarily of trade unionists, community leaders, women’s and children’s rights workers who are determined to look after their own. IFC’s goals are to salvage the lives of as many Iraqis as possible, and to end the occupation and sectarian fighting. read full story / add a comment |
