The Outer Limits of Solitary Confinement --Herman Wallace and Albert Woodfox

Angola 3 News | 04-17

The event marked 40 years of solitary confinement for Herman Wallace and Albert Woodfox of the Angola 3, by exploring the expansion and overuse of solitary confinement, mobilizing support for the Amnesty International Petition to remove Wallace and Woodfox from solitary confinement (being hand delivered to LA Governor Bobby Jindal on Tuesday, April 17) and support for the California Hunger Strikers.

The video features solidarity photos from Philadelphia, where the first experiment in solitary confinement in the United States began.

Living as a 'Sub-Human' in Sweden
Ritt Goldstein | 04-12

Times change, and so do countries, with ongoing events suggesting Sweden's return to the kind of state which few even realize it once was. Government reports highlight devastating 'structural discrimination' against those of foreign origins and other minorities, a recent headline charging "Swedish society forces immigrants to emigrate". Notably, a report by the government's statistic bureau revealed that more Swedes emigrated in 2011 than at any other time in the nation's history.

Boycotting Israel: Mustafa Barghouti vs. Rabbi Arthur Waskow on BDS Movement, Palestinian Solidarity
phillyimc editors / DN! / The Shalom Center | 03-27

Philadelphia's Rabbi Arthur Waskow appeared yesterday on Democracy Now! to discuss "BDS" (Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions) and policy towards Israel and the Palestinians. Waskow feels that the manner in which BDS is framed makes it excessively indiscriminate and that it appears to be anti-Israel as opposed to anti-Israeli actions. BDS appears to Waskow to be a cannon where a pistol is needed.
