Since about 3 month half of all universities are occupied and on strike.

That of Thessalonica was more local and gathered students from the city itself and north of Greece. The protests become more and more militant, as repression by state escalates. ... read full story / add a comment

The year was 1993 or perhaps 1994, I lived in Zimbabwe and the past time that I most enjoyed was horse riding in the Veld near Sunset. On this occasion....I was being brave. I had learned to canter so it was time to jump. An arena, an enthusiasm, the taste of speed and miscalculation and there was change, I went over the horse and under the horse. Outcome: private emegency ambulance - a team who I will never know who most likely saved my life. There was only one elderly man as Neurosugeon in Zimbabwe at that time. From there life became a pilgrim path of exploration and many bumps and turns on the road. Welcome to Brain Awareness Week. Let us all take the opportunity to learn about the brain, about acquired brain injury, about diseases of the brain, about mental health implications, ... read full story / add a comment

Marco Camenisch has his sentence reduced by half this morning by a court in Zurich whose decision respected that of the jury. Thus the 17 year sentence which Camenisch began in 2004 is reduced to 8 years. Camenisch will be 66 years of age should he serve the complete sentence for the murder of a Swiss border guard.

Over the past three years under Mr Justice Morgan the one sided preliminary hearings have continued and preparations for the civil case have been ongoing with an input from the plaintiffs only. The sole evidence against Michael McKevitt is that of informer David Rupert. However, on this occasion his evidence is conditional on whether he is to face cross-examination or not. Mr Rupert received an assurance that as Mr McKevitt will have no legal representation he will not face a rigorous cross-examination and he will have a free run to give whatever evidence he wishes. The assurances given to Rupert may ring hollow and it is possible that the issue of legal aid will be resolved in McKevitt’s favour, no other conclusion could be reached in the interest of fairness. Under renewed circumstances, Mr Rupert may not be as enthusiastic to face cross-examination by McKevitt’s legal team. ... read full story / add a comment

Two weeks ago, Hugh Mc Laughlin (artist and comic-maker) was handing out little Tara Vigil Leaflets on the streets of Dublin. He was approached by a member of Dublin City Council Litter Service 'Operatives' and asked to move on or he would be prosecuted and/or fined under litter laws. He gave out the leaflets and refused to be bullied. The gardai were called. The Gardai did not prosecute nor did they take his name. Cos he wasn't doing anything wrong. ... read full story / add a comment |
