The killing of poor Dawn Sturgess was much the most serious of the events in Salisbury and Amesbury that attracted international attention. Yet nobody has been charged, no arrest warrant issued and no inquest held. The inquest for Dawn Sturgess has today been yet again postponed, for the fourth time, and for the first time no new prospective date has been given for it to open. Alarmingly, the coroner’s office are referring press enquiries to Scotland Yard’s Counter Terrorism Command – which ought to have no role in an inquest process supposed to be independent of the police.
A new chapter is added to the complex scenario recently configured in Latin America with the anti-neoliberal popular rebellions in Ecuador, Haiti and Chile, in which the right-wing forces that govern in those countries have responded with the most brutal repression: the disregard of Evo Morales’ resounding electoral triumph by the Bolivian and international right-wing, backed by the planet’s media power and the US economic and political power elite.
