http://www.wsws.org/articles/2008/feb2008/spai-f06.shtml The first abortion rights issue that I was involved in was a press-statement forwarded by some polish activists who asked for dissemination of a petition to do with an amalgamation of three far right parties which included the LPR, PiS and another group. They had hoped to change the Polish constitution (article 38) to 'protect life from the moment of conception'. During the ensuing parliamentary debate and rucus, the tri-partite union who had attempted to force the issue down throats split ;and Poland was found in breach of Human Rights Articles in relation to the Alicia Tysiac case. read full story / add a comment

Below is a recent letter from US Anarchist prisoner Harold Thompson to a member of Belfast Anarchist Black Cross, who maintains regular contact with Harold and his struggle as a ‘Jail House Lawyer’ defending fellow prisoners against the repressive prison regime.
