I may be a pensioner, but I won’t stop protesting | John Catt | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/feb/11/john-catt-protesting-civil-liberties
Having listened to arguments for and against my judicial review against the Association of Chief Police Officers and the Metropolitan police on Thursday – who branded me a “domestic extremist”, placed me on a database and secretly recorded my activities merely because I attend demonstrations and make sketches – I feel more resolute than ever about safeguarding our civil liberties.
I am 87 and have been protesting for some 70 years or more. I am retired and live in Brighton not far from where I grew up in Shoreham. Right from my formative years, I stood up against oppressive and unjust behaviour. When I was 14 I worked as a farm labourer in Coombe, Sussex. Most of the workers were elderly; the younger ones were off fighting in the second world war.
The workers were not being paid on time, and one day we were made to wait in the pouring rain for a very long time for our wages. I demanded that the farmer paid up straight away; it was the first time I spoke up for the rights of others and I have been doing so ever since.

High Court allows Israel to mine, take resources from Palestinian Territories
http://972mag.com/high-court-allows-israel-to-mine-use-resources-in-palestinian-territories/31384
Who owns and is allowed to use the sand and rocks of the West Bank? This question was at the center of a petition to the Israeli High Court of Justice, submitted by Israeli human rights NGO Yesh Din in 2009. Yesh Din asked the court to stop the operations of eight quarries under Israeli ownership, claming that they take away valuable resources from the Palestinian people and from a future Palestinian state.
Some 94 percent of the materials produced in the Israeli quarries in the West Bank is transported to Israel, accounting for the needs of more than a quarter of the market.
The petition relied on an article in the Fourth Hague Convention of 1907, allowing an occupier to use the resources in the occupied land only for the needs and benefits of the occupied people.
«Art. 55. The occupying State shall be regarded only as administrator and usufructuary of public buildings, real estate, forests, and agricultural estates belonging to the hostile State, and situated in the occupied country. It must safeguard the capital of these properties, and administer them in accordance with the rules of usufruct.»
Yesterday (Monday) the Israeli High Court rejected the petition, allowing the quarries to continue their work.
