We Will Not Be Silenced

Rosie Kane and Tariq Ali

Supporters of G8 Alternatives again lobbied the Scottish Parliament demanding the right to demonstrate at Gleneagles when the G8 leaders visit.
Tariq Ali (pictured above with Rosie Kane MSP) was among the speakers at the protest.

Perth and Kinross council, controlled by the Scottish National Party, have refused permission for a rally unless insurance cover of £5 million is provided.

Frances Curran MSP pledged that she, and fellow MSP's, would join other protestors in defying the ban.
