Tony Durant who is her Member of Parliament, has gone to great trouble on her behalf. I am bound to say that from the published information, Mrs Sheikh has brought most of her troubles upon her own head. But we will do all we can to help her. Yours (illegibly) Gerry Vaughan MP Footnote: A recent House of Lords decision places the burden of proof of illegal immigration on the Home Office. Hopefully this means that 'suspects' will no longer be 'guilty until proven innocent'. - - - HEYFORD PEACE CAMP This notice is to inform all you uninformed people of the occupation camp situated around the perimeter of one of Britain's strongest nuclear missile bases: Upper Heyford in Oxfordshire. There are roughly 30 people occupying the 30 acres of M.C.D. land onto which the Americans intend to extend their bomb base in the near future. In order to stop this occurring, we must build a stronger wall of people who will commit themselves to the camp as permanent or temporary occupiers on site. If this is impossible but you are sympathetic to the cause, then please send any donations you can. They will be put to good use on improving the site and the cause. Visitors and Donations are welcome to: Upper Heyford Occupation Site, Camp Road, Oxon. XFN. - - - PEACE WOMEN IN COURT On Tuesday, Feb 15, I went to Newbury Magistrates' Court to show my support for the women who were there charged with causing a breach of the peace. There were 200 people present, including a number of members of the Socialist Wankers Party. Women from the Fallout band were playing their instruments on the steps of the court and many of the women present were singing along. The women in court occasionally appeared at the windows, opening them and calling out greetings. When they came out for the lunchtime recess we learnt that there was a new charge of forcible entry. "Fred" the policeman recognised the two women who had knocked him over and described what they had been wearing. Strange - as these two women had not actually been together during the invasion of the base. It seems that the charge was later dropped. On the whole, the atmosphere was good except the SWP wanted to use this as yet another occasion to sell their newspaper and shout the same old boring slogans. These attempts were greeted with derision from many of the women present. By lunchtime many women had gone to the base to blockade it, followed by gangs of police. (The Police Station is next to the court) As this was an occasion to support the Greenham women in the action they had taken, the presence of the SWP was contradictory. Although they agree with the women's aim, they support neither Non-violent Direct Action, nor the women-only camp. Caroline 17/2/83 - - - EL SALVADOR This time last year the fact that there was (and still is) a war taking place in El Salvador was obvious to anyone who read newspapers or watched T.V. with any regularity. However, shortly after the elections there on March 28th El Salvador was pushed out of the news, firstly by the Falklands/Malvinas conflict, and then by the Israeli invasion of the Lebanon. This two-part article is an attempt to fill in the gap of the media coverage of the last 12 months. The March Elections The need for elections to take place in El Salvador, was most clearly felt by the U.S. which was increasingly finding it difficult to justify internationally its increasing support for military government with an appalling, record in terms of both human rights and the poverty of much of its people. For Washington therefore it was essential to have a government in El Salvador which could present at least a semblance of a democratic facade to western opinion and thus be a 'deserving' recipient of military assistance. International scepticism over the nature of the poll was reflected in the fact that out of 60 countries invited to send observers, only 20 sent representatives and of these 20 the majority were ruled by military men whose only knowledge of democracy was how to eliminate it, and, of the EEC countries, only Great Britain sent two observers, who arrived the day before voting took place and spent most of the time in their hotel, emerging for brief visits to the polling stations under the guidance of the military. There were six parties which contested the elections but only three played any real role. Firstly, there was the Christian Democrats (PDC) who were the most 'left' of a right-wing field, being the only party which still maintained a reformist posture with both land reform and rationalisation of the banks in its programme. Its campaign however suffered from the fact that it had remained the public face of the military-civilian Junta of 1979-82, despite the increasing terror campaign of the army and right-wing death squads. This had eventually led to a split within the PDC and the formation of the Popular Social Christian Movement which became part of the opposition forces in the FMLN - FDR (Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front - Democratic Revolutionary Front) as the left within, the FDC saw itself rapidly losing credibility as the popular organisations such as the Revolutionary Peoples Bloc (BPR) demonstrated their ability to mobilise massive support on the street against the government. The two main parties to the right of the PDC were the Party of National Conciliation (PCN) which was the traditional party of the oligarchy, and the newly formed ARENA party headed by Roberto d'Aubuisson, former head of Military Intelligence in the National Guard, whose flamboyant electioneering style and use of American media campaign techniques combined with his promise to defeat the guerrillas in three months brought him increasing popularity with the right, especially within the military, which despite its supposed neutrality in the elections openly campaigned for him. ARENA'S overall policy could be summed up in one of D'Aubisson's speeches. "We will win the military fight, first we will adopt a revolutionary(!) constitution with articles that give us the force of law to deal with the state of crisis that we are living in now. Right now we are fighting blindfold, and with treason in certain government spheres," - referring to the Christian Democrats whom he regarded as crypto-communist. "Once we have good military intelligence and a government which does not give cover to subversives we can go ahead." ARENA's platform therefore was for 'peace' within the country on the basis of a military defeat of the FMLT-FDR. ARENA'S peace was referred to by the PDC leader Jose Duarte as 'the peace of death' quite correctly, since one of ARENA'S campaign slogans promised 'El Salvador will be the tomb where the reds end up.' The outcome of the elections under conditions of civil war and intimidation with all the popular organisations excluded was that the PDC ended up with 26 out of 60 seats in the Constituent Assembly, but was prevented from forming a government by the coalition of the five right wing parties who made D'Aubisson president of the assembly and consolidating the power of the extreme right who could now be assured of almost unconditional backing from the U.S. The Coalition however is by no means unified, being split largely between those who wish to push forward modest land reforms in an attempt to undercut the support fox the guerrillas in the countryside, and those members of the oligarchy who are determined that their lands remain untouched. Part 2 of this article will deal with the military situation and the international aspects.

They are looking at closing hospitals: at reducing the number of hospital beds: at ceasing to operate for varicose veins and other conditions affecting the elderly in particular; at offering only 24 hours in hospital for childbirth; at cutting back on family planning services and on health education. At failing to meet your needs. The Workers Educational Association Reading Industrial Branch has been asked to organise this teach-in both so as to inform as many people and groups as possible about the threat to the NHS in Reading and so as to allow them to discuss how that threat can be countered and the NHS defended. The introductory speakers will include Dr Peter Fisher, Homerton Hospital Ruth Reid, Secretary Oxford Health JTUC Alec Welch, Member West Berks District Health Authority Colm Lyons, Secretary Reading Voluntary Services Council followed by Five Action Workshops: Hospital closures Privatisation in the NHS Women's services Services for the old and the handicapped The private sector Wednesday 2 March at 7.30pm Centre for the Unemployed (Sponsored by Reading Trades Union Council) - - - CLOWN COURT For a while Red Rag will be offering a regular column on the goings on in Reading's Crown and Magistrates' courts. Our erstwhile reporter (me) will be dropping in on occasional cases at Artillery House, and reporting back with information on how our local justices deal with crimes such as rape, theft, and assault. I also hope to provide statistical information about the frequency of various crimes in and around Reading. If anyone going before the judge wishes me to report on their trial please contact me through Red Rag. Names of people on trial or convicted will not be mentioned unless for a specific reason. Luke - - - AT THE CONTROLS - A REVIEW A startlingly well produced and ambitious first issue, xthese people are aiming high, with provokative & honest interviews (Paul Gambochinni and Denis Greaves) and a regular space for poetry and creative writing - something that is very valuable and rare even among 'fanzines'. The issue was dramatically successful, with very good sales and a mention on the Oxford Road Show by John Peel (also to appear in the next issue - in about a months time), Hopefully they can continue at this strength, free from pretentious and the 'new pop' crap, encouraging the local scene and in the end restoring some life to Reading. KCL - - - MONEY Dear Readers, Thanks for all the loot!! I think I can say that I'll get on better with the bank manager now. See you in a fortnight..... xxx Red Rag - - - PEACE LETTERS? IN THE BIN! Is anyone else, like me, surreptitiously chucking away their "chain letters for peace" ? I must admit I felt less guilty throwing away the fifth one than I did the first! Has the peace movement gone mad? What a waste of writing time - and all for what? To send each other postcards! I hate the pressure tactics of these chain letters and feel convinced that people send them on unwillingly. If each of us is going to write six letters for peace, for God's sake at least let's use the time to write to our MPs, councillors, the local and national press and the Minister for Defence - or to send messages of support to the women at Greenham. Yours, Penny Henrion. - - - PREGNANCY TESTING The service at the Women's Centre might gradually fizzle out, unless... We need two women per session to do the testing which is a very straightforward process. If there were just eight women, it would mean only being there once a month. We open from 7-9 on Tuesday evenings but even this is difficult to maintain at the moment. There's definitely a need for the service. Doctors are more an wore advising women to buy kits - which aren't within everyone's means - and to do the tests themselves. Now that we have stickers advertising the service and [some] doctors are referring women to us, we must stay open at least on Tuesday evenings. [At one time we were open in the daytime on Wednesdays too - maybe we could reinstate this.] If you can spare two hours a month to help, please get in touch via the Women's Centre, basement of Old Shire Hall, Abbey Street, or phone 666324, 861582 or 667517. - - - WRITE FOR RED RAG - OR PHONE! * Anyone can write for Red Rag, and we will print articles providing they are not sexist, racist or supportive of oppressive religious views! However, other factors must be considered - like time, money and available labour. Recently we have agreed, as a collective, to edit articles, preferably after consulting the authors. * So, what do we want? Most importantly we need NEWS - local, fresh and relevant. If you know some but don't want to write yourself, then contact Red Rag via ACORN, 662302, 666324, 61257 or 666681. * Type your article, if possible, in 12 cm columns, and put a name and contact point - even if you wish to remain anonymous. * Articles can be left at ACORN or contact us to collect or, preferably, deliver. But at least a day before we print. (Pete) - - - THE WOMEN'S CENTRE is open from 10.30 - 2pm Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.
