The Oxford Indymedia collective has decided to start writing a weekly round-up feature every Wednesday, summarizing the news of the week posted in the newswire. Hope you will enjoy! :-)
OCSET still alive!
After being evicted from its previous location, OCSET has temporarily moved to 47 Cowley Road and transformed this dreary dump into a magic cave! The project is still very much alive!

Chinese PM met by protesters
The Chinese Prime Minister was greeted by a banner, tibetan prayer flags and leaflets when he came to look at the Oxford Chemistry lab on May 10th. One protestor attempted to run out in front of the cars as they drove in, but was brutally jumped on by the police almost right away.
Report
Another GM victory!
Monsanto dropped plans for GM wheat, partly because of consumer resistance. Many Oxford activists are involved in the anti-GM campaign; well done!
Report
No Oxford animal lab!
The campaign against the building of a new vivisection lab in Oxford University and for the release of two rhesus macaque monkeys that had brain surgeries is very much active. Get involved!
