Waħda mid-dikjarati perekwiziti tad-dinja liberali hija l-liberta tal-espressjoni li kull gvern neo-liberali jiftaħar biha. Anke hawn Malta, li huwa pajjiz li miexi fit-triq lejn in-neo-liberaliżmu qiegħed iħaddan dan l-idejal? Bħal ma qal Eugene Godheart f''Skeptic Disposition' "Meaning need not be constructed to signify merely propositional sense.

19th June 2005 Moviment Graffitti on Nuclear Disarmament

Moviment Graffitti is very worried on the current situation of nuclear weapons and of the stockpiling of weapons of mass destruction. Right now the biggest nuclear-armed power in the world and the only state which used nuclear bombs on citizens and people is pressuring minor states not to arm themselves with a nuclear device. The US which is the purveyor of this pressure is in possession of at least 70,000 nuclear warheads, and these alone have the potential to destroy our world many times over.

July 26th 2005. IMC Malta has just learned that the hunger strike by detainees at the Floriana detention center has been suspended. Detainees who have been long waiting for their humanitarian protection started the strike last Sunday. The government has a policy of detaining for up to eighteen months all those who are picked up by police officers in Maltese waters and apply for asylum, a system which is discriminatory against those who apply for asylum while already in Malta.
