Police accused of breaching civil liberties of G8 campaigners
http://scotlandtoday.scottishtv.colo.ednet.co.uk/content/default.asp?page=s1_1_1&newsid=7976

Human rights campaigners have accused the police of breaching civil liberties as they gather intelligence on people planning to protest against the G8 summit. Scotland Today has learned that detectives visited the homes of two activists after learning of their involvement in protest groups.

A t-shirt brought detectives to Lesley Rogers' door. She was wearing it when she was stopped by traffic police in Glasgow. The discussion quickly turned to the G8.

"I'm a mother of two I would not wish any harm on anybody and I certainly wouldn't want to be caught up in anything."

Frances Curran MSP from the Scottish Socialist Party said: "I think it's a creeping attack on our civil liberties. Bush is coming here and all of a sudden we're finding our democratic rights under threat."

2. Just as they did to Sean Penn in Iran this weekend.
When will this madness stop?
