Gerry McGeough was convicted last month of attempted murder of a UDR soldier in 1981 and faces up to twenty years in jail. There is a widespread concern that his arrest is as a result of his campaigning against the Northern Ireland Police Force and about Sweden's release to the British authorities of an application for political asylum to that country in 1981, the contents of which were used to convict him. ... read full story / add a comment

Its not just in Libya that civilians are being slaughtered, its also happening in Iran. At least 150 prisoners are dead or injured after bloody clashes erupted in Karaj’s Ghezel Hesar prison on the night of March 15th. Thousands of prisoners from units 2 and 3 launched a protest after hearing the news of plans to execute ten inmates. Approximately 3,000 prisoners attempted to break the doors of their cells while chanting, “Executions must stop.” Security forces attacked the prison cells, resulting in bloody clashes and the transfer of some prisoners from their cells. Reports indicate that prison guards used live ammunitions to control the protesters. Consequently, nearly eighty prisoners were seriously injured or killed, but the number of those shot is at 150 or higher. A handful of officers along with the deputy warden of the prison, Mr. Safakhil suffered leg injuries during the clashes. The prisoners who protested are either serving a heavy sentence or facing imminent execution. ... read full story / add a comment

Last night I went to see Ken Loach/ Paul Lavety's latest effort, the film "Route Irish". I was invited along by a friend, Ben Griffin, who is an Iraq S.A.S. combat veteran. For most of my anti- war activist life the word "veteran" would conjure images of older guys from my town who had fought in WW2 in New Guinea and also recenlty returned Vietnam Veterans. I grew up sharing a back fence with the second largest military base in Australia - "Gallipoli Barracks"/ Enoggera, Brisbane, Australia. ... read full story / add a comment

The UN tonight has just passed a resolution on a no-fly zone over Libya. The resolution was pushed by France and there were 10 votes in favour and five abstentions. Tonight Gaddafi is saying he will enter the last stronghold of the rebels the city of Benghazi to the East of Tripoli. It is being reported that he says his forces will show no mercy for the enemy. The question now is how fast will the no-fly zonet be implemented and how fast will Gaddafi move? ... read full story / add a comment

Mr. Gates' visit—intended as a show of support for Bahrain's beleaguered royal king—was instantly complicated by the protests, in which police fired tear gas and rubber bullets to break up tens of thousands of protesters. Hundreds were injured. During his visit to the Gulf monarchy, the defense secretary is expected to take on an unusual diplomatic role, delivering a message of support to the ruling family while encouraging leaders to engage in dialogue with the opposition. Now with the invasion of Saudi Arabia the occupation forces are asked to play the role of suppression against the uprising challenging al khalifa ... read full story / add a comment |
