Bernardos really are the wrong people to be around children. Not content with being a big player in one of the biggest, but mainly unheard of, scandals of the late nineteenth and up to mid-twentieth centuries, the forced migration/deportation of over a hundred thousand children to Australia, Canada and other places, they now get involved in yet more child deportations through this disgusting collaboration with the government. They clearly have no conscience and no shame.

Comment on Manchester demo “Abolish Immigration Prisons” Sat 21st March by Howard Dent

What makes you think the BNP or Woolas are “xenophobic”? The fact of not wanting people of a substantially different race or culture in the UK does no prove hatred of such people. Do those who don’t want daffodils in their garden necessarily “hate” daffodils?

MJPC blames the Congolese Government for Deteriorating Situation in East Congo

“There is no excuse for missing to pay salaries to soldiers in lawless eastern Congo for six months”

Following the deteriorating situation in east Congo, the MJPC called for the Congolese Government to pay the salaries of thousands of soldiers who have not been paid for over six months in east Congo, take swift action to enforce the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) warrant against Bosco Ntaganda and to hold accountable perpetrators of sexual violence against women for their acts.

“Faillng to hold accountable individuals who commit war crimes and crimes against humunity continues to be the leading cause of widespread and systematic sexual violence acts against girls and women in the easten Congo” said Makuba Sekombo, Community Affairs Director of
the Mobilization for Justice and Peace in the DR Congo (MJPC). Mr. Sekombo again criticized the government of Congo for not only the continuing failure to protect women and young girls from sexual violence, but also for “encouraging conditions that create opportunities for sexual violence to occur”. “There is no excuse for missing to pay salaries to soldiers in lawless eastern Congo for six months” said Sekombo.

The MJPC has also renewed its call for the Congolese government to take urgent needed action to end human rights abuses in east Congo, hold perpetrators accountable and ensure reparation for the victims of sexual violence. The MJPC has been urging the Congolese government to compensate the victims of sexual violence in order to also help combat impunity in eastern part of Congo where sexual violence against women and children has been widely used as weapon of war for more than decade.MJPC online petition calling for for help to put pressure on Congolese Government to compensate victims of sexual siolence in Eastern DRC can be signed at http://www.gopetition.com.au/online/26180.html

MJPC is a nonprofit organization dedicated to working to add a voice in the promotion of justice and peace in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in particular in the East where thousands of innocent civilians, including children and women continue to be victims of massive human rights violations while the armed groups responsible for these crimes remain unpunished.

Comment on Calais No Border Camp 23-29 June 2009 by Mrs Merton

Posted from Boulogne on Friday 19th June
The French police are certainly taking next week’s event seriously. There are large numbers of Gendarmes posted in hotels in Calais and Boulogne, apparently for the next ten days to a fortnight. I saw them arriving earlier this afternoon. The hotel I am staying in (courtesy of a booking made some time ago) is full (with perhaps two thirds of the rooms occupied by police) and they say there is difficulty getting a bed in the Pas-De-Calais region.
