Indymedia - Activists: Know Your Rights
Vital legal information is now readily available for Australian activist networks, movements and individuals on the internet thanks to 'Activist Rights'. The new website was launched by the Fitzroy Legal Service at the SKA TV Activist Awards on Wednesday 6 October 2004.
Spending nine months in development, the site is a unique tool for anyone seeking information about their rights. Information available includes: police powers, arrest and imprisonment, common charges used against activists, how to make a complaint about police misconduct, responding to legal threats and the new raft of anti-terrorism legislation and powers.
Downloadable guides and information sheets are also available. 'Activist Rights' is funded by the Reichstein Foundation and the Victoria Law Foundation.
