Rabad Hamar deportation campaigner to appear TONIGHT on radical radio show

Article published: Thursday, July 29th 2010

Local activist radio show Under The Pavement will feature Sally Hyman from the ‘Don’t deport 16 year old Rabar Hamad’ Campaign tonight from 11pm-1am on the South Manchester community radio station ALL FM 96.9.

The campaign aims to prevent the forced repatriation of Oldham-based GCSE pupil Rabar Hamad, who through a series of Home Office blunders has been told he could face deportation to Iraq after having been erroneously assessed as 20 years old. Recently the group has been promised help from Oldham MP and former Immigration Minister Phil Woolas, adding to the a wave of public support which has so far seen over 900 signatures collected on the online petition.

Sally will be talking about the campaign, with an update on the progress on Rabar’s appeal and letting listeners know what they can do to show their support.

Under The Pavement has been broadcasting for over six years now, with regular guests and interviews covering the frontline of direct action and grass roots resistance in Manchester.

Halloween creatures invade Manchester early: chance to win two tickets to the Illuminaughty Halloween party!

A heavy mist suddenly falls on a darkened Manchester hiding from sight unspeakably hideous creatures. Drums can be heard in the distance lulling you into a hypnotic trance, the work of witches and daemons no doubt. Or perhaps Voodoo ring masters, descending onto the city streets armed with psychedelic beats banged out by their armies of musical Goblins possessed with the desire for mischief and fun. It must be that time of year again; it can only be the Illuminaughty Halloween party.

Science Slam: a synergy of science and poetry transcends expectations

Poetry and science are two things generally not associated with each other, in fact if you joined the two in a word association test you would be one step closer to a chemical cosh and your very own padded cell. However the audience attending the Science Slam at the packed out Nexus Art Cafe Thursday night will never again doubt the validity of the two pursuits being combined; though I can’t rule out they may end up bouncing of the walls of a padded cell at some time in the future.

Review: Greater Manchester Fringe Festival – A Dream Play

We were outside Nexus Art Café in the Northern Quarter, queuing, when a car raced up, the driver shoved a woman to the pavement and the performance began. This was the introduction to the character Aggie in A Dream Play by the Déjà Vu Ensemble, daughter of the gods, who has come to our world to learn what it means to be human.
