Protest Against HMS Ocean

category dublin | anti-war / imperialism | event notice author Thursday June 22, 2006 18:39author by MichaelY - iawm Report this post to the editors

IAWM Organises Demonstration Against UK Navy Ship

NO WELCOME FOR THE TERRORIST SHIP IN IRELAND
Lets March Together
Lets March Together

The British Navy warship HMS Ocean, due to arrive in Dublin on Thursday June 29th, should not be allowed into Irish Ports because of its role in the criminal war and occupation of Iraq. The Irish Anti-War movement, in co-operation with a number of anti-war organisations, will be holding a major protest to oppose the visit of the ship.

HMS Ocean is the largest warship in the British Royal Navy and played a leading role in the US/UK led invasion of Iraq. After the HMS Ark Royal, HMS Ocean was the second Royal Navy war ship to be deployed to Iraq in 2003 to participate in the invasion.

An estimated 150,000 Iraqis are dead and Iraqi society has been absolutely devastated as a result of the US/UK invasion and occupation. Any vessel that participated in the slaughter in Iraq or that is linked to the military machine responsible can only be described as a “terrorist ship”. It should not be allowed into an Irish port.

The decision to facilitate the war-ship along with the continuing use of Shannon by the US military is clear evidence that the Irish government is consciously providing support to US/UK led military aggression in Iraq.

Sickeningly, the HMS Ocean will host a “beer tasting” promotion with cocktails while in Dublin. This is not an innocent trading vessel. This is a ship that has been used to export death to Iraq and occupy an entire nation. We must protest at the obscene spectacle of the people toasting the murder and mayhem this ship has inflicted on innocent men, women and children.

While countries such as Italy and Japan are pulling their troops out of Iraq under public pressure, the Irish government is continuing its collaboration with the US/UK war machine. Not only is it facilitating this war ship to dock in Dublin. It is also complicit with CIA torture flights and openly allowing thousands of US troops to flood through Shannon, in a mockery of neutrality.
Join the protest on Thursday 29th June
Assemble at 6:00pm at the Famine Memorial, Irish Financial Services Centre, and march to the war ship.
