Anniversary of Resistance Day (27/03/2009)

First Demonstration

Burmese protest outside the Burma Embassy in London on Resistance Day, which marks the anniversary of the start of Burmese resistance to the occupying Japanese army in World War II.

Gen. Aung San, the Founder of today’s Burma’s Army said, "Our armed forces are not for tyrannizing the people, not for flaunting their power in reliance on weapons. The armed forces are the servants of the country and not the other way round." But in reality, the situation in Burma is other way round. Burmese held the demonstration in front of the military regime’s embassy to let the world know that they don’t want military dictatorship in Burma and will fight until they can restore the government of the people, by the people and for the people.

The Burmese reject the junta’s planned 2010 sham election, in which Aung San Suu Kyi is not even allowed to stand. Her party, the National League for Democracy won the 1990 elections with 82% of the vote, but the corrupt military junta did not honour their own election. The Burmese ask for the 1990 election result to be realised and for talks on national reconciliation. The referendum for the 2010 election constitution carried a 3 year jail sentence for anyone who campaigned for a No vote in the referendum and many Burmese did not even cast their vote as they found government officials had already voted for them. Corrupt military junta, corrupt constitution, corrupt election.

Second Demonstration (Europe-wide Day of Action)
Foreign Commonwealth Office (FCO)
King Charles Street London SW1A 2AH

Burmese demands include:

* The EU strengthens the Common Position, including banking and financial sanctions, and sanctions stopping European companies providing insurance in Burma,
* The EU does more to pressure the military regime to free all political prisoners in Burma,
* The EU rejects the military regime’s 2010 elections and sham 2008 constitution in the present form,
* The EU does more to encourage reconciliation and tripartite dialogue without delay,
* The EU does more to challenge the dictatorship to immediately stop all human rights abuses in Burma.

Please, do not let your voice be silent for Free Burma. It is great chance to speak out your voice for Free Burma.
Please, do show your liberty to promote Crisis in Burma.

Free Burma’s Political Prisoners Now petition

Will you make a stand for Burma’s Political Prisoners?
Thousands of people across the world are uniting with one voice demanding the release all of Burma’s political prisoners. They are taking part in a global signature campaign which aims to collect 888,888 signatures before 24 May 2009 the legal date that Burma¹s democracy leader, Aung San Suu Kyi should be released from house arrest

Over 200,000 people already have signed up to the campaign calling for UN Secretary General to make it his personal priority
to secure the release of all of Burma¹s Political Prisoners, including Aung San Suu Kyi.

Will you sign the petition now? Sign here:
www.burmacampaign.org.uk/fbppn.htm

The petition has a target of 888,888 signatures, symbolising 8.8.88, the day the junta massacred some 3,000 people who courageously protested in Burma¹s largest democracy uprising. We¹ve made big progress towards that target but need your help if we¹re going to make it.

Here are some facts about political prisoners in Burma:
* There are over 2,100 political prisoners in Burma.
* They are innocent: These prisoners have committed no crime. They have been
imprisoned for peacefully calling for democracy and freedom in Burma.
* They are subjected to horrific torture: Once in prison, democracy
activists face horrific torture, including electric shocks, rape, iron rods
rubbed on their shins until the flesh rubs off, severe beatings and solitary
confinement.
* They endure terrible suffering: Many prisoners are kept in their cells 24
hours a day, given inadequate food and are in poor health. However, the
regime appears to be systematically denying medical treatment to political
prisoners.

I apologise for what turned out to to be a misleading and inaccurate post.

On 16 October 2009 I got the email below from Stuart Young, Assistant Chief Executive in Haringey.
I read it as meaning that my Labour colleagues, "cabinet" councillors in the London Borough of Haringey, had overturned an officers’ decision to block Social Media websites for the borough’s staff.
So it looked as though our staff would again be treated as grown-ups and professionals.

Mr Young referred to a report at the Cabinet Advisory Board * (CAB) meeting on 15 October 2009 which approved a six-month trial giving all staff access to social media channels when this related to the Council’s work.

My original post on this page reported what seemed a welcome if nervous return by Haringey to the twenty-first century. But I was wrong. Thay report and the six-month trial both sank without trace. Haringey closed its eyes and snuggled back under its IT comfort blanket.

(* Cabinet Advisory Board is the ‘real’ cabinet where decisions are made, prior to the formal Cabinet.)


What’s This All About ? Some Background

I’m an elected councillor in Haringey. In September 2009 I was asked to take some photos urgently to show problems with a Haringey building project. To make these photos rapidly available to Peter Lewis, Director of Children’s Services (the department concerned), I posted them in a private Flickr folder and sent Mr Lewis an access password.

Neither the Director nor his P.A. were able to view the photos. At the time they did not know why.

I then discovered that a software block was in place. This prevented all Haringey staff from accessing not only Flickr but other social media websites. Neither councillors nor, it seems, Departmental Directors had been told about the block.

Click here to read further details. And for the helpful comments and suggested website links from Hugh Flouch, Liz Ixer, and Kake Pugh.

On 2 October 2009 I emailed a "Member Inquiry" – a formal councillor’s request – asking which websites were blocked, and for other information.

On 16 October 2009, Stuart Young, Haringey Assistant Chief Executive, sent me the reply below.
I got a second email email from Mr Young on 23 October, which is posted further down this page. As are my replies to Mr Young.

—– Original Message —–
From : Stuart Young, Assistant Chief Executive, People, Organisation & Development
To : Alan Stanton, Tottenham Hale ward councillor
Sent : Friday, October 16, 2009 10:58 AM
Subject : Blocked websites – Cost of business case for individual unblocking

Dear Councillor Stanton

I refer to your recent Member Enquiry regarding blocked websites and respond to your questions as follows:

The Council has an internet content filtering tool called “WebSense” that monitors over 36 million websites; hence it would not be feasible to provide you with a list of those sites that are blocked.

This tool has been configured to block web site categories (rather than specific sites) that are considered unacceptable by our Authority (as per the Council’s ‘Internet Acceptable Usage Policy’.) The blocked web site categories are listed below for your reference:

● Adult material ● Peer to peer file sharing ●· Personal network storage ●· Drugs ●· Gambling ●· Games ●· Illegal ●· Hacking ●· MP3 and Download ●· Social networking and personal ●· Militancy and Extremist ●· Racism and hate ●· Tasteless ●· Violence ●· Weapons ●· Web chat

In October 2007, there was consultation between Human Resources, Legal Services and Information Technology Services where a more relaxed stance to the Policy was agreed. Since that date only minor cosmetic changes have been made to the document.

In terms of line Managers monitoring the internet usage of their own staff via WebSense, unfortunately this would not be feasible. The tool cannot be configured to only allow Managers to review the usage of their own staff only. Giving administrative access to managers would allow them to report on the internet usage of all staff and Members, not just their own subordinates. In addition, administration of the tool is complex and would require implementation of an expensive Council Wide training programme. Therefore, where management have concerns over the potential misuse of the Council’s internet facility, referrals are made to HR, Internal Audit and IT Security management for investigation and to produce the reports.

Due to the vast number of websites monitored by WebSense (mentioned above) it is not practical to consult with staff regarding any possible consequence of singular sites being banned under the approved blocked categories. However, if a site is blocked and there is a valid business reason for the site to be opened, an officer only needs to complete a Harinet online change request form (which is free of charge) and takes approximately 5 minutes to complete and submit. Since the beginning of September 2009 there have been no requests made for access to social media sites.

A review of the policy is currently underway specifically focussing on business change and the use of social media and social networking channels. A report on this subject matter is due to be submitted by the Assistant Chief Executive – People, Organisation and Development to the Cabinet Advisory Board on the 15th October 2009. The report is seeking approval for a 6-month trial giving all staff access to social media channels for business related networking via the Council’s network. Such policy changes are the subject of consultation with Haringey trades unions.

I hope the above answers the questions raised.

Yours sincerely

Stuart Young
