As the siege enters its sixth week Shell to Sea campaigners continue to maintain their morning pickets of Shell’s refinery site. Security outside the gates has been stepped up with the erection of a six-foot tall sheet metal fence around the main site entrance late last week. Around the same time Shell to sea signs were removed and defaced by Gardaí including one reading “community under siege”. Gardaí also ordered that the Shell to sea H.Q. trailer be moved. The trailer was moved a nominal few feet down the road and the picket continues. ... read full story / add a comment

Over recent weeks there have been a number of confrontations between Niall Harnett and Sgt. Conor O’Reilly & Gardai, at the proposed Shell Corrib Gas Refinery Site, Bellanaboy, culminating last week in the breaking of Niall's driver’s window in order to forcibly remove him from his van, and the theft under ‘colour of law’ of that van by O’Reilly on Tue 31st Oct. In the High Court on Tue 7th Oct, Mr Justice Michael Peart granted to Niall an injunction against O’Reilly from further damaging or disposing of his van, which O’Reilly had threatened, and leave to seek an order for it's release without condition. Other ‘reliefs’ applied for are a ‘declaration’ by the High Court that the van was held unlawfully and that O’Reilly and An Garda Síochána have acted ‘Ultra Vires’ - the legal term for 'exceeding their powers granted by law’, which in this case would mean simply that they broke the law. ... read full story / add a comment

ETA prisoner José Ignacio de Juana Chaos has commenced another hunger strike. He did so on the eve of his sentancing in protest against the expected term of 12.5 years, which has been handed down by the Spanish court this sentance is for promoting terrorism , [ de Juana Chaos authored a series of articles calling for the continuation & escalation of ETA's armed campaign. ] The Spanish prime minister Zapatero has said in a statement that he expects the sentance (by the independent judiciary) will further complicate the nascent Basque Peace Process. Already most observers recognise that the process is in crises, the internal ETA magazine only a week ago threatened a return to violence if political progress in not seen to be made by late Autumn.

The ongoing Omagh civil litigation has been listed for 16th April 2007 when the case is expected to finally get under way. Even at this early stage, many observers in the legal profession consider it, as being prejudiced, deeply flawed and under the present format it can only return an unfair and dishonest judgment. The British authorities have the case structured in such that it will deny the defendants any hope of defending themselves in the case. ... read full story / add a comment

A Gay Pride demo will be held in Jerusalem, on 10 November, against a background of vicious incitement and homophobic propaganda by reactionary Jewish and Arab organisations. This follows a similar campaign running up to the June 2005 Gay Pride demo, which lead to the stabbing of three demonstrators by an ultra right-wing settler (who was sentenced to 12 years in prison). These groups are attempting to whip up hatred and intimidation in to prevent people from attending the demonstration. ... read full story / add a comment |
