International Conference on Military
Tax Resistance.
Delegates from India, Nepal, and countries from Africa and South America will be attending a conference held
at the University of Manchester on Friday 5th September
this year, to meet, discuss and learn from one another ways of resisting
payment of taxes levied for use by the military. KPN readers will be aware of the
British group Conscience, which supports conscientious objectors here. In other countries much more severe penalties
are meted out to such objectors (including the death penalty). Paula Hollings, of Conscience, has called
for donations, to be used to finance travel and other costs of delegates. Cheque payable to: `International Peace Tax Conference' and post
to the Conscience office address: Archway Resource Centre, 1b Waterlow Road, N19 4RN
