Thomas Kennedy, an elderly Tipperary farmer is still in jail after over 40 days. He was put in jail for contempt of court by Justice Olive Buttimer when he insisted on reading his own sworn affidavit from the witness box. He has written records of the purchase of the farm from his late brother yet the court refuses to allow his evidence to be heard and sent him to jail. He refuses to be removed from his farm and therefore cannot purge the contempt. He needs the light of publicity to protect him. This is the role of Indymedia. ... read full story / add a comment

Activists from the Galway branch of the IPSC spent seven hours yesterday outside Lynch's castle in Shop st leafleting pedestrians and encouraging them to boycott Israeli Blood Diamonds and Woodie's/Atlantic Homecare DIY stores on account of their unethical selling of Israeli Keder plastic garden products, we've been at it outside Lynch's castle every Saturday for months now, because there's something more to our conscienses than the blind eye and repellent hypocrisy, not so, unfortunately, in the case of the passerby who, focused and full of hate slimed us with a "Sieg Heil" as he passed by. ... read full story / add a comment

People around the country and abroad have expressed concern at the news that Statoil are considering using the Bellanaboy gas refinery to process gas found in blocks they've licensed off the west coast of Ireland. Campaigners against the Irish government-backed pipeline and refinery scheme have always said that the huge amount of Coilte land that Shell got hold of indicated that the refinery site would grow. If the initial scheme is allowed to be forced through, then planning for a "brownfield" site would be easy to get , so expansion of the refinery, and addition of more dangerous pipelines, is inevitable. The article in the Mayo news below, finds that the no-one in the government, Shell or Statoil is refuting this anymore. ... read full story / add a comment

From 6-8 June 2007, the G8 Summit – the meeting of the heads of state and government of the USA, Canada, Japan, Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany and Russia – will take place in Heiligendamm in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern on Germany’s Baltic Sea. The Summit location is the Kempinski Grand Hotel. As there seems to have been a remarkable absense of discusion, debate and practical organising surrounding this years G8 blockade mobilisations in germany this june, ive attempted to collate some info that may be useful for readers. It is by no means comprehensive and apols of not having mastered HTML but hope it is of some assistance One thing is certain. This year is going to be big. Even though the traditional date have been moved forward a month to try to disrupt our 'disruptions', the unprecedented call, planning and actions will have an impact far greater than recent G8 manifestation. This will be part of making capitalism history. Check out the links below for more info. ... read full story / add a comment
