I can only speak truthfully and accurately concerning my own case, where the Irish Government have failed to implement the Good Friday Agreement,i.e. their decision to arbitrarily exclude me from the early release scheme. The scheme was set out in the GFA, for the phased release of all Political Prisoners, and a completion time scale of two years meant that any POWs remaining after June 2000 would be automatically released. The Irish and British Governments passed appropriate laws to facilitate the releases and began processing the POWswhich basically went on the lines of 'first in, first out'. ... read full story / add a comment

Vigil at Netherlands Embassy, 1.00pm - 2.00pm Thursday August 15th *** PLEASE FORWARD *** There will be a vigil outside the Netherlands Embassy from 1.00pm to 2.00pm (please note time) on 15 August 2002, the 40th anniversary of the New York Agreement concerning West Papua. The Netherlands Embassy is located at 160 Merrion Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4. The Netherlands signed an Agreement at United Nations Headquarters in New York with the Indonesian Government (the West Papuans weren't involved in the Agreement), where they agreed, inter alia, that an "act of self-determinaton in accordance with international practice" would take place within six years in West Papua. It never happened. The Netherlands government did nothing, and continue to remain silent, 40 years later. It is time for the Netherlands to call publicly as a matter of urgency for a proper act of self-determination in West Papua in accordance with international practice as they ... read full story / add a comment

THE BATTLE of Lewisham, which took place 25 years ago this month, was a decisive turning point in the fight against the Nazis in Britain. On 13 August 1977 over 10,000 people-black and white, old and young, women and men-joined together to physically confront the Nazis and stop them from marching. The battle showed how the Nazis could be driven off the streets and it marked the beginning of a mass campaign to smash the Nazis. ... read full story / add a comment

OF ALL THE ‘ISMS’, militarism is the most poisonous, destructive and dangerous. When active it destroys people, cultures and rational thought. When relatively passive (though it is never truly passive), it enters the minds and value systems of society in a way that reinforces conformity and obedience. Military values require uniformity, not only of appearance but also of attitude and values. The armed forces expend considerable effort in ensuring that soldiers at al levels accept without question the inherent and unquestionable superiority of their methods, aims and ideology. In the heat of battle there is no scope for questioning the validity of the campaign or particular action. Robot-like acceptance is paramount. Militarism, the glorification of military values and methods, has a long history. In Europe, Asia and South America that undoubted symbol of militarism, the military uniform and with it social prestige, has existed for thousands of years, as witness Assyrian... ... read full story / add a comment

In recent weeks there have been articles appearing to suggest that the death toll of civilians in Afghan was in the low hundreds.These articles were never backed up with detail or method of collection of data.There is however an authoritive report by a US academician,Marc Herold which is well researched with full methodolgy which give the above total of civilian deaths.The article by Prof.Herold is from The Guardian August 8 and also details on the above links. It is important to debunk the myth of accurate 'smart weapons' which will be recycled by the mainstream media in the current pyscho ops. to prepare for US invasion of Iraq. ... read full story / add a comment |
