Eoghan Harris attacked Manus O’Riordan in his Sunday Independent column of February 11, after a February 4 letter from O’Rordan: Memories of an Irish Waffen SS man, by Manus O'Riordan . http://www.unison.ie/irish_independent/stories.php3?ca=...15221 O’Riordan wrote after Harris attempted to link Irish republicanism with fascism in successive columns. O’Riordan pointed to a fascist he had come across, who was a member of a party Harris was in (SF the Workers Party, the one he was in longest). O’Riordan’s father, Communist Party General Secretary, Michael O’Riordan warned SFWP of the connection. The warning was ignored. ... read full story / add a comment

On 21 February, the Italian coalition government fell when the Prime Minister, Romano Prodi, resigned. This crisis came just four days after the magnificent 200,000 strong demonstration in Vicenza against the government's decision to approve the expansion of the US base in that town. The government did not get an overall majority in the Senate for a motion outlining its foreign policy, including keeping troops in Afghanistan and maintaining 'good relations' with the US. ... read full story / add a comment

Jesús Mari Zabala Mugira is reported as having begun a hunger strike on the 16th of February. His protest which seems without indications to the contrary to be his own decision has been reported quite speedily by the Basque "political prisoner support network" who yesterday sent out the word to various media organisations only 7 days after he began what is still technically an extended fast. Zabala is about to finish serving a sentence in Saint Martin de Re prison in France (on the 8th of March) whereupon he will most likely be extradited to Spain to face other charges. His hunger strike is aimed at evading that transfer. He was detained in the French Basque in 2000 as part of an operation against the logistic structure of the terrorist organisation. ... read full story / add a comment

Northern Ireland Minister Peter Hain has announced details of a joint ceremony before Ireland's crunch game against England in Croke Park on the 24th February. The significance of the game is not lost on GAA followers and republicans who remember the infamous shooting of 14 players and supporters by the British Army on the 21st November 1921. However according to GAA spokesman Ulick Magee a plan being devised by the GAA and the Northern Ireland office, will attempt to draw a line under the incident. "We've spoken to the British government and they understand the significance of the event back in 1921. Back then 14 people were killed by British forces so in the spirit of the peace process and friendship we're proposing that we shoot 14 of their lot before the match. Then maybe have fireworks afterwards or something." Said Mr Magee. ... read full story / add a comment

On Saturday the 17th February, members of the Irish Basque Committees organised two events in Dublin highlighting the plight of Basque hunger striker Iñaki De Juana Chaos. Iñaki should have been freed on October 25, 2004 but was instead sentenced to an extra 12 years and 7 months in prison for writing two newspaper articles. He has now suffered 103 consecutive days without accepting food. Although his sentence has since been reduced, he is determined to maintain his fast until he receives justice and is freed. ... read full story / add a comment
