PUBLIC MEETING: ISLAMOPHOBIA: INNOCENCE BEHIND BARS
DATE: TUESDAY 2ND JUNE, 7.00PM
VENUE: TURNPIKE LANE MOSQUE, 389 WIGHTMAN ROAD, N8 0NA

There is now extensive evidence of collusion by the British secret
services in the torture of Muslims who were kidnapped and "rendered"
to countries where torture of prisoners is allowed. Following the
latest case to come to light, Britain's home secretary Jacqui Smith
faces legal action over allegations that MI5 agents colluded in the
torture of Jamil Rahman, a British former civil servant, by
Bangladeshi intelligence officers. (See http://bit.ly/RaB9P)

On Tuesday 2 June, MOAZZEM BEGG, former detainee at Guantanamo
prison, is speaking in Haringey at a public meeting on the issue
ISLAMOPHOBIA: INNOCENCE BEHIND BARS. The venue is Turnpike Lane
Mosque. The meeting is supported by Haringey Stop the War and is
open
to all.

MOAZZEM BEGG, a British citizen, was held for three years in
Guantanamo Bay. He was never charged with any offence and since his
release in 2005 he has campaigned tirelessly for the defence of
civil
liberties and against the Islamophobia which has led to the
demonising of Muslims as part of the so-called "war on terror".

Also speaking are ZACHARY KATZNELSON (http://bit.ly/wXnh9), senior
counsel for Reprieve, the charity that campaigns for prisoners
facing injustice, and IMAM HASSAN ALI.
