The European Civil Liberties Network (ECLN) was launched in Brussels on Wednesday, 19 October 2005. The launch was marked by the publication of a collection of fourteen essays especially written for the occasion. Contributors include A. Sivanandan, Paddy Hillyard, Phil Scraton, Tony Bunyan, Deirdre Curtin, Thomas Mathiesen, Heiner Busch, Aidan White, Liz Fekete, Lorenzo Trucco and Ben Hayes: Essays for civil liberties and democratic standards in Europe (link)

Tony Bunyan, joint coordinator of the ECLN, called on groups and individuals to support the ECLN: “if the everincreasing demands of law enforcement continue to go unchallenged in the name of the “war on terror”, the face of liberty and democracy in Europe will be changed for ever”: press release
