Description
The New Feature Documentary Film, by Fourman Films. Shot Edited and uploaded on Valentines Weekend 2009. Covering the Valentines Day London Departure of a massive convoy of trucks ambulances and millions in Humanitarian Aid all gathered by thousands of ordinary people from Great Britain in the past fortnight.Most of the media did not cover this event prefering to cover the arrest of 9 people under anti terror legislation. All but three of them have so far been released. there has been hundreds of thousands of British people searched under this legislation.Only one in every 400 stop and searches carried out under sweeping anti-terrorism laws leads to an arrest. While almost all of those arrested are Muslims, the majority of those so far convicted appear to be non-Muslims.Only three Muslims have actually been convicted under the 2000 Act and two of them have been given leave to appeal their convictions. Six of those convicted under the Terrorism Act 2000 are white and were convicted for offences such as wearing a ring or carrying a flag with the symbols of banned Loyalist organisations.The 2000 Act makes it illegal even to wear a T-shirt supporting a banned organisation. A further two non-Muslims have been convicted under the Anti-Terrorism Crime and Security Act 2001, one for sending a racist letter containing white powder to the office of Mohammad Sarwar MP.The Timing of these new arrests the night before Viva Palestina and the subsequent non reporting of the amazing actions of the Humanitarians featured in this film raises questions about the manipulation of the press by taxpayer funded government agencies.
