http://radio.indymedia.org/After being offline for over a year, IMC-RADIO is back online. For a variety of TEK problems the amazing resourse that is IMC-RADIO was gone from us, that meant that people all over the world could no longer publish their audio, access and listen to old audio, click on the site to get quickly directed to audio nodes and news from all over our little planet. For those into audio it was a big big loss…….

On Fri Apr 11 in a mail on the [IMC-Audio] list entitled “thoughts re: radio.indy uploads”, it seemed behind scenes work was about to announce the return of IMC-RADIO. And then, later that day out went the mail “radio.indy back on line! “. So its back, please check it out, please get your hands on audio recorders and record whats going on, post it, tell us whats going on……For many we feel its an undervalued resourse, You can click on what interests you, listen at work, download to I-POD and listen on the bus on the way home…little by little we are starting to really listen more.

BE THE MEDIA
but also keep on pushing the boundries:
tell more stories
make them accessible by more

On Friday April 11th from 5-6pm CKUT and Kader will broadcast the 19th installment of RADIO SANCTUARY, a live hour-long remote broadcast hosted by Abdelkader Belaouni. This special edition is dedicated to the late Oscar Peterson with guest OLIVER JONES, renowned jazz pianist and Oscar’s friend. Oliver and Kader will discuss Oscar Peterson’s legacy, Oliver’s own music and career, growing up in the poor, black neighbourhood of Little Burgundy, the early jazz scene in Montréal, plus you’ll hear samples of their incredible musicianship. Kader and Oliver will be joined by other local musicians who have been invited to participate in the discussion. The show will take place on Kader’s 831st day in sanctuary at St. Gabriel’s Church. Abdelkader Belaouni (”Kader” to his friends) is a refugee from Algeria who came to Montreal via the USA. Kader is in sanctuary inside the St-Gabriel’s Catholic Church in his community of Point St-Charles — a mixed French-English poor working class neighborhood of Montreal, with a long history of community mobilization. Kader defied an order to be deported on January 5, 2006, and has remained in sanctuary ever since. CKUT is a community radio station proudly embedded in movements for social justice, particularly those of migrants in Montreal. Since Kader cannot leave the church, CKUT radio will join him inside the sanctuary of St-Gabriel’s Church, in the heart of Point St-Charles. Join us for this bilingual (English and French) program.

Jim is a resident of London, England, and a long-time organizer with the Advisory Service for Squatters, A.S.S. Here he speaks about the history of squatting in the UK, going as far back as the 1300’s. This interview looks at squatting’s relationship to the anarchist movement in the UK, the changing legal framework around squatting, and squatting within a framework of other social movements in the country. The Advisory Service For Squatters is a collective of unpaid workers who have beenrunning a daily advice service for squatters and homeless people since 1975. It grewout of the former Family Squatters Advisory Service, which was founded in the late 1960’s. ASS publishes The squatters Handbook, the twelfth edition of which is the current one, and has sold in excess of 150,000 copies since 1976. ASS offers advice on how to squat, legal help to squatters and helps fight evictions and challenge police abuse of the homeless.

Ostavke Odmah! Sarajevo Residents Speak Out Against Corruption Listen to a report on violence and government corruption in Sarajevo, Bosnia. –>To download or listen to this report, visit: http://www.radio4all.net/proginfo.php?id=26875 On Saturday, March 8, residents of Sarajevo, Bosnia, gathered in the center of the city in an interesting show of popular democratic pariticpation. For weeks, Sarajevo residents have been outraged at increasing violence on their city’s streets, but more so on the lack of action on the part of the canton government to rectify the situation. Tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets in recent weeks in demonstrations calling for the resignation of Semiha Borovac, the Mayor of Sarajevo, as well as Samir Silajdzic, Sarajevo Canton Prime Minister. In January, a 72-year-old woman was killed after she was set on fire. Three teenagers have been charged in that killing. Then, on Feb. 5, police say three teens attacked and killed a 17-year-old student on a tram in downtown Sarajevo. One of the three stabbed him to death. In response to these brutal killings, the Sarajevo Canton Assembly imposed a curfew on February 28 which forbids children and teenagers from being on the city streets after 11pm. If they are found outside after curfew, their parents can be charged with fines. But beneath the situation of violence lies another story, one that points to ongoing tensions stemming from the brutal war in Bosnia in the early 1990’s, as well as many Bosnians frustrations with the international community. They see international organizations like the European Union and CIDA, the Canadian International Development Agency, pouring millions of dollars into development programs, but few results. We visited Sarajevo to attend one of the demonstrations, and we spoke with members of Dosta, an organization which strives to combat militarism in the Balkans by empowering local residents.

Fighting FTAs: new publication and website on resistance to bilateral free trade and investment agreements launched by bilaterals.org, GRAIN and BIOTHAI. While global trade talks at the World Trade Organisation (WTO) stagnate, governments and corporations are busy spinning a complex web of bilateral free trade and investment agreements (FTAs). “Fighting FTAs” looks at what this FTA frenzy is really about, how social movements are fighting back and strategic learnings emerging from these struggles. As part of this international project, journalist Stefan Christoff has produced a series of interviews providing a global picture on the current state of free trade policy, focusing on regional and bilateral trade accords and their impacts on the environment, people, economies internationally.
