Sedition Charter 2006

Human beings are born with inalienable human rights which include the right to food, shelter, personal security, freedom of speech, freedom of association, freedom of religion and freedom from the fear of arbitrary arrest, detention, interrogation, torture, imprisonment and execution.

Citizens have both a right and a duty to oppose and resist governments that attempt to legislate away their inalienable human rights. They have a right under the 1946 United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, and a duty under the principles that were outlined in the Nuremburg Trials that were conducted after world war two that found that obeying the law and following orders could not be used as a justification for denying people their inalienable human rights.

First protests against G20

15/11/2006

First protests against the G20 have included Guerilla gardening near the floral clock opposite the National Art Gallery, and a vigil of the Sedition Charter group who stood defiant outside Hyatt Hotel when approached by the police to move on or be charged with 'breach of the peace'. A Christian collective will set up camp at 7:30 am on Friday November 17th, outside the barricades that surround the G20 meetings at the Grand Hyatt hotel, demanding tickets on behalf of those excluded from the meetings.
