Rosemary Nelson Reminder

Today, March 15, is the fifth anniversary of the murder of human rights lawyer Rosemary Nelson. Rosemary was a good friend of the PFC and a fine and brave human rights lawyer. Her loss was felt acutely across Ireland and beyond but nowhere more so than among her immediate family. We remember Rosemary today.

In the High Court this morning lawyers for the British Government announced that Judge Cory's reports into the murder of Rosemary Nelson, Pat Finucane, Robert Hamill and Billy Wright will finally be published by the end of March.

In a series of co-ordinated atacks on commuter trains, without any none warnings, terrorists have killed more than 85 people in Madrid.

It is believed at the current moment that the ETA were behind the attacks.

Will it be possible now for those political party who support the political wings of ETA, to dissassociate themselves from ETA terrorism?

In particular Sinn Fein. It was widely assumed that Sinn Fein would sit with the representatives of ETA within the European Parliament if they had any MEPs elected. Hopefully, they'll condemn the attacks and acknowledge that the murder of innocent commuters going to work achieves nothing, and cannot be considered part of any 'struggle'. ... read full story / add a comment
