Abu Baker Deghayes’ brother Omar has been in Guantanamo Bay prison for five years. The Irish Anti War Movement has organised a tour of meetings next week where Abu Baker will speak about the illegal kidnapping, detention and torture of his brother Omar Deghayes. Omar and his family left Libya 1986 after his father, a democrat and trade unionist, was assassinated by Colonel Gaddafi's regime. In 2001 Omar travelled to Afghanistan where he met and married his wife and had a son. When war broke out they moved to Pakistan. Omar was arrested by bounty-hunters and sold to the US Military. The only "evidence" for his arrest was a video from the Spanish authorities allegedly showing Omar. But experts have confirmed that the person in the video isn't Omar. While in prison Omar was tortured using pepper spray in his eyes, so much was used that he is now completely blind in one eye. The US authorities also allowed Libyan interrogators to interview him. They threatened him, saying, "In here I cannot do anything, but if I meet you later I will kill you”. ... read full story / add a comment

I attended last nights vigil outside the cathedral. While there I got a copy of what appears to be a statement from the Afghan's probably released near the start of the occupation as it refers to 33 Afghans (this number rose to 41 within hours). As this doesn't seem to be online I've typed it in below - it certainly nails some of the lies being told and it is important that there words are circulated. I've also included a couple of photos from last night. ... read full story / add a comment

"Interference by the major powers for more than two decades has plunged Afghanistan into being one of the most violent and disturbed countries on Earth. First the Russians and then the CIA and Saudi Arabia and the rest intervened with their national interests in mind. Latterly, the CIA and Saudi Arabia called both the jihad and the horrific Taliban, which has been a major source of the instability and violence, into existence." ... read full story / add a comment

on the first of May, Evo Morales, president of Bolivia nationalised the "sub soil" hydro-carbon resources of his state with his now historic "supreme decree" 28,701. Since then he went with all the other South American state leaders to meet with the leaders of the EU, & talk about - trade, commerce, business, economics, industry, finance, wrangling, wheeling & dealing, rackets, cartels, merchandising, traffic (all under one category we call "Capitalism") & other stuff like, human rights, poverty, ecology (carnival dancers), migration & development. He got to stand next to Chirac for the family photo, and then went home, feeling more secure than in the last weeks, (the mafia didn't do the expected hit on him in Vienna --- what with Bertie Ahern watching ) and decided to issue another "supreme decree".... ... read full story / add a comment |
