Members of a brave Christian Peacemakers team, hoping by their sleep-in to prevent the threatened eviction of the orphans in an Orphanage in Hebron, were helpless this morning as about 40 Israeli soldiers raided the workshop of the Orphanage, terrorising the children there and carrying away all of its equipment worth about €28,000. ... read full story / add a comment

Over recent months, there’s been endless talk about the Lisbon Treaty. Most political parties advise us that we’ll be embarrassed and economically ruined if we don’t vote ‘Yes’. Groups advocating a ‘No’ vote tell us that we will lose our democracy and sovereignty if we do vote ‘Yes’. ... read full story / add a comment

Good article in Irish Times today. Not much has changed since the Rossport 5 were imprisoned 4 years ago, except that now the Kilcommon community are more determined than ever to say 'no raw gas, refine at sea'! Support them before it's too late. A Victory for Shell to Sea is a victory for the people of Ireland. Unite to fight the raw gas pipe.

This year the Iranian government's repression of workers has started before the 1st of May with the arrest of a number of labour activists in the last week of April . Two of the leading members of the newly found 'Free union of Iranian workers' ( who despite its unfortunate choice of name has declared its intentions to work within the confines of the current regime and avoid 'political' opposition to the regime) were arrested ahead of plans for a May Day demonstration in Kurdistan. The government followed the arrests by banning unofficial May Day celebrations in various parks in Tehran. ... read full story / add a comment

Fuel and medical shortages, unbridled Israeli military attacks, trade embargoes, travel restrictions and now the food crisis has brought Gaza to the edge of an all out humanitarian crisis: out of a population of 1.4 million, the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), last Thursday, due to the Israeli fuel blockade has halted food aid to 700,000 refugees and the World Food Programme to another 127,000. Michael Jansen in last Friday's Irish Times http://www.ireland.com/newspaper/breaking/2008/0306/bre....html states that: "Due to the grounding of its vehicles, UNRWA also reduced operations at 214 schools serving 200,000 children and 19 health centres as well as refuse collection in eight refugee camps housing 500,000" ... read full story / add a comment

The Irish advocate for peace, who completed a mammoth 4,000 mile walk across Australia in 2007, is now back home in Ireland. His next walk starts this summer, a route from Dublin to Belfast - Edinburgh - Cardiff ending in London. He is accompanied by his imaginative friend Harvey, sitting in a orange wheelchair, bringing his popular message, that peace is everywhere right now, it is only a matter of perception to say that there is not. ... read full story / add a comment

Paradoxically the music of Beethoven seemed more youthful in last night's concert than the music of Górecki - a contemporary composer born in 1933. However the program which presented an interesting contrasted juxtaposition was a triumph for conductor, orchestra and soloist who, all, appeared to me to be young and energetic with admirable team spirit and exemplary seriousness of purpose. ... read full story / add a comment

Indymedia had a pretty good write up recently which I enjoyed on the history of Irelands social centre’s and radical bookshops of which I don’t think there are enough of these days. The topic itself was titled 'A Hidden History of Social Centre’s In Ireland' (http://www.indymedia.ie/article/87044) and of course the North West once again seemed to have slipped peoples minds, apologies Darren. ... read full story / add a comment

Ireland has not yet implemented the EU Directive on data retention, a set of measures full of controversy and conflicting interests. The latest draft towards an Irish implementation expands Garda powers to request data on subjects charged with offences attracting a MAXIMUM sentence of 6 months, as opposed to the previous draft in which a MINIMUM sentence of 5 years. Such a broad power would include activists charged with public order offences (obstruction, refusing to move on, placarding), permitting access to the time, number and duration of phone calls and lists of websites visited and IP addresses of data packets sent. ... read full story / add a comment

This day, April 17, 2008, marks Prisoners' Day, a day of respect, honor and support and solidarity for Palestinian and Arab political prisoners imprisoned for their commitment to their cause, their homeland and their people. Today, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine bows in salute to these brave prisoners - men, women and children, from the newborn babies of women prisoners to Said al-Atabah and his decades of imprisonment - who today number more than 11,000, inside the torture cells, interrogation rooms and the prisons of the occupation. ... read full story / add a comment
