In Harreveld youth prison in the Netherlands children are raped. Inspection youthcare decided to investigate only after parents got this out in the news. They only decided that no new children should be put in this jail. . It is not just children that did something wrong that are placed in jail in the Netherlands. BJZ a company that keeps children after they take them from their parents and that are paid by the government, also places children in jail because it is a cheap solution and their goal is to make as much monies out of children as possible. Judges in the Netherlands look away and allways decide in favour of bjz and children are thus used as tools to get monies. ... read full story / add a comment

SEPTEMBER 2006. To show our support for the SHAC 7 in USA we destroyed over 70 advertising signs for the Courtney Vegas so called 'American' circus from Wexford in Ireland. This circus now in Balgriffin uses animals in its acts and we have vowed to continue removing their advertising until they stop dragging animals around Ireland. Two MEAT RETAILER directional signs were taken and butchered in retaliation for the dead animals slaughtered for profit and sold in his shop in Dublin. >>Till all are free... >Animal Liberation Front. ... read full story / add a comment

Over 500 people turned out today for a great march against the US/UK war on Iraq and Afghanistan. Starting in Parnell Square it made its way down O'Connell where the suppport of passers by was occasionally made clear by cheers of support, up Dame Street and back down to the island on O'Connell St where we were all corralled during the speeches. It isn't clear why the organisers agreed to this corralling because it meant that almost no-one could see the speakers. Speakers were generally interesting - great to hear the Raytheon 9 spokesperson - but mostly were the same people who speak at every IAWM march or variations of same. Overall a good demo and fair play to the organisers. Shannon next on October 28th for the demo called by Antiwar Ireland! ... read full story / add a comment

national / bin tax / household tax / water tax Friday September 22, 2006 - 00:23 by Joan Collins Cllr Ind Soc
The Drimagh Anti Bin Tax Campaign has organised very effective protests at Davitt Road Depot over the last two Saturdays. Over 250 people have turned up at the depot, wheelie bins in tow and have disposed of waste bags in an effective and organised fashion at the depot in protest at the non collection of our bins for non payment of the double tax of Bin Tax. These protests have served two purposes. 1. Solidarity and public protest at non collection and 2.a practical way for people who cannot dispose of their waste into the bin trucks on the mornings of the collection because of work. ... read full story / add a comment |
