4 IRISH WEST PAPUA ACTIVISTS ARRESTED AT DUTCH EMBASSY on the 40th anniversay of the New York agreement. They called on the Dutch Government to abide by the agreement, which promised mineral rich West Papua a free and fair say on its future. That never happened. With a history similar to East Timor, Papua has since suffered a brutal occupation, mass human rights violations, massive ecological destruction by BP, Shell and Freeport MacMoran, and over 100,000 of it's people have been killed. ... read full story / add a comment

With a history similar to East Timor, Papua has since suffered a brutal occupation, mass human rights violations, massive ecological destruction by BP, Shell and Freeport MacMoran, and over 100,000 of it's people have been killed. This followed the UN monitored 1969 Act of 'free' choice where 1025 hand picked Papuans voted for integration into Indonesia. Former UN under-secretary general has since noted “Nobody gave a thought to the fact that there were a million people who had their fundamental human rights trampled”. Today governments around the world, including Ireland, contend that the territorial sovereignty of Indonesia must be respected. And this despite the murder ... read full story / add a comment

There is no capitalist escape route for the working class and rural poor in the Middle East out of their plight. Only by creating independent workers' organisations with a socialist economic programme of nationalising industry under democratic workers' control and fighting for an internationalist solution to the problems of nationalities, can the enormous oil wealth be redistributed poverty eliminated and wars banished. ... read full story / add a comment

Until the last few years of the 1990s Ireland had the reputation of being the most sexually repressed country in Europe, where women were second class citizens and the Catholic church ruled virtually unchallenged. But things have changed fast. A national survey in 1973-1974 found that three out of four people thought sex outside marriage was always wrong. A survey in 1997 found that 21 to 24 year olds had, on average, had 13 different sexual partners.1 In 1990 Dublin's Virgin Megastore was fined £500 for selling condoms. In 1999 the Dublin government spent £500,000 promoting the use of condoms.2 While Gordon Brown felt it necessary to get married to enhance his chances of becoming prime minister in Britain, the Irish taoiseach (prime minister), Bertie Ahern, lives openly with his (unmarried) partner who accompanies him on state visits as 'first lady'. ... read full story / add a comment

"Resources and reform must go together."

I spotted this article on the Press Association newswire. The author's name was not included. And before Ray goes for the jugular, I couldn't find any mention of the story on PA's website (www.ananova.com)... The story is pretty watered down by PA's refusal to use language critical of Israel, but the facts are intact. ... read full story / add a comment
