highlighted by SACC and his appeal was eventually successful and he walked free from the High Court in February 2010. The alleged CIA Aircraft flying into Scotland that were linked to extraordinary rendition has been other of SACC's campaign issues. Together with Andy Worthington, Omar Deghayes and Aamer Anwar, SACC showcased the documentary film by Polly Nash 'Outside the Law' in March 2010 in Edinburgh and Glasgow. The next Scottish Census in 2011 involves contract for work by CACI Ltd and SACC hosted an online petition that called for the contract to be cancelled as CACI Ltd's parent company CACI International has ongoing litigation in the United States by Center for Constitutional Rights based around torture allegations in relation to a former interrogation contract at Abu Graib prison in Iraq. Two SACC members received a threatening letter from the lawyers of CACI International to remove the allegations that the company was involved in torture in Iraq from the SACC website. SACC mad no change to their statement and no legal action followed. CAMPACC (2005) states that: 'The ‘War on Terror' promotes a racist culture of suspicion towards migrant and Muslim communities. It generates and manipulates public fears to justify a perpetual state of war.'. In particular, according to SACC, the banning of organisations, such as the Kurdish Workers Party (PKK), in UK can only foment discontent within communities like the British Kurds and so, in December 2009, SACC appealed to the Scottish Justice Minister, Kenny MacKaskill to write to the Turkish authorities to ask them to allow Mr Ocalan, the ex-head of the PKK to act as an intermediary for a peaceful resolution to the problems of the Kurdish population in Turkey. In January 2010, over 150 Kurds from civil society were arrested in Turkey and their trials began in October 2010. Lord Carlile's review of the definition of terrorism for the UK government in 2006 received a submission from SACC. Subsequently, Arun Kundani from the Institute for Race Relations (IRR) produced a research report on the UK government's Preventing Violent Extremism policy and SACC produced a briefing of the UK Prevent strategy from a Scottish perspective. More recently, the new UK Government (Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition) called from submissions to its review of some aspects of the terrorism legislation and SACC submitted a response on 5 October 2010.
