More observers arrested at Shannon warport

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Tuesday February 25, 2003 15:01author by Andrew - GNAW Report this post to the editors

What is the state trying to hide

Todays Evening Herald reports that "gardai arrested three UCD students at the airport yesterday near the perimeter fence. Gardai belive they were on a 'fact finding' mission."

At the very least this is the second such arrest of observers at the airport as the Irish state tries to hush up the volume and nature of military traffic. The other arrest I am aware of was apperently of a TV film crew making a documentary. There may well be others we are not aware of.

This shows the depth the state and its forces are going to in order to support Bush's war effort. What laws are they arresting people under (I'm unaware of 'fact finding' being a criminal offence).

It is now clear that Bertie and co plan to ignore the fact that nearly 80% oppose refuelling at Shannon. They plan to ignore the 100,000 who marched. If they won't listen to us then it is time to act.

Join the direct action at Shannon on March 1st and make them listen.
