Arts Against Extradition

I really like this site http://artsagainstextraditions.tumblr.com/about

You can support it by sending them a postcard design on the theme “Extradite Me I’m British.”

Arts Against Extraditions

Arts Against Extraditions is a creative campaign promoting democratic and human rights, plurality of voices, equality and peace.

We promote and document artistic acts that call for an end to the unfair UK-US extradition treaty that was amended in 2003 in the panic, spin and diplomatic pandering surrounding the war on terror.

AAE are a group of artists, designers and illustrators who witnessed how British families were being torn apart and individuals lives left in limbo because of the extradition act. We asked in official letters what of ‘Habeas Corpus’, what of ‘innocent until proven guilty’, what of ‘the right to a family life’ and are still waiting for answers.

When miscarriages of justice are taking place, time waits for no-one. We aim to use our creative freedom to highlight the destruction of essential civil liberties.

Arts Against Extraditions is not aligned to any political persuasion and we seek to work with campaigning, cultural and political organisations from across the spectrum who promote tolerance, justice and equality.

 

I have just found out that the work that artists have sent to Arts Against Extradition will be exhibited as part of the,

“This Is Not A Gateway Festival 2013”,

which takes place on the 26h/27th of January, 

at the Bishopsgate Institute, 230 Bishopsgate, London EC2M 4QH.
