Who are real terrorists?
By Fern Lane
It is now nearly two years since the fatal shooting of Volunteer
Diarmuid O'Neill by the Metropolitan Police. Every basic question
about this murder remains unanswered and the British Government
steadfastly refuses to hold an independent public inquiry into
the killing. An inquest has yet to be held.
In the light of this, and of the killing of black teenager
Stephen Lawrence - whose murderers have gone free because of
incompetence, racism and alleged corruption within the
Metropolitan Police - the London-based Institute for Independence
Studies, which has a long record of conducting independent
inquiries into state criminality and which has worked for some
years with the former US Attorney General on issues of state
terrorism, is hosting another of its regular seminars entitled
Who are the Real Terrorists? on 6 August.
The conference will hear from a number of campaigns concerned
about police terrorism, including the Justice for Diarmuid
O'Neill campaign and the Stephen Lawrence Family Campaign. The
main speakers will be John McDonnell MP and a representative of
the Stephen Lawrence Family Campaign.
For more information on this meeting, which takes place at 7.00pm
in Conway Hall, Red Lion Square, London WC1,telephone 0171 436
