[IMC-UK-Features] proposal: G8 Hokkaido feature

[Jeff Parks]

Hi,

I'd like to propose this as a feature for UK, Globalisation, Migration
and Social Struggles:
http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/07/402308.html

<<Against the G8 Summit 2008

The G8 2008 will take place on Hokkaido, Japan from July 7th to July
9th. As in the last years, people from all over the world will protest
this summit and the capitalist system it represents, both in Japan as
in many places around the globe.

On Saturday the 5th of July 2008, the international Day of Action
against the G8, people all around the world will protest against the
G8 summit 2008 in Japan. People will be out on the street in
Sapporo/Japan, in Berlin to demand Freedom Of Movement, in Amsterdam
to fight Fortress Europe and in London several groups (despite being
harrased the London police) are calling for a Day of Action around the
UK Borders Agency (Home Office) in Croydon to protest for Freedom Of
Movement and Freedom to Protest! There will be also a Critical Mass to
Croydon starting in Brixton at 10am.

On the Friday before there will be a solidarity protest with japanese
activists , as the protest in japan has already begun at 12pm at the
Japanese Embassy, Picadilly.
