The prosecution of a man for burning the Qur'an shows how Islamic blasphemy codes are becoming embedded in criminal law. Coming up with a legal definition of 'Islamophobia' will accelerate this process, says Sam Bidwell.

As a peaceful participant at the RTS protest I stood at the top of Dame street and did a headstand in the road in protest at what I had just witnessed, a young man being battoned on the head for no apparent reason. I was subsequently arrested(and assaulted in the police van) and the following is one of my official charges; "you the said accused....did an act to wit:engaged in the act of a handstand in the middle of a junction so as to cause or was likely to cause the traffic through such place to be obstructed." I wonder will it literally be laughed out of court, or could i catch them on a legal technicality as I was actually "engaged " in a headstand. So you are all welcome to join me at district court 46 on the sixth of June at 10:30am for a yoga demo/display of evidence! ... read full story / add a comment

It was expected that this would be the largest Dublin Reclaim the Streets to date. What was not so expected was that by the end of the day 24 people would have been arrested and over a dozen hospitalised by a police riot on Dame street.

Hi Folks, Eileen Whelan in the Newsroom in RTE wants to get in touch with 'organisers' and participants in RTS yesterday. You can contact her by phoning 01 2083111 and asking to be put through to the newsroom. Think it is worthwhile to tell 'our' side of the story. IMC here have provided them of footage of guards batoning with numbers off. They seem to be on a stick wicket so I don't think we should hold back in telling RTE what went on. Anyone know about hospitalised people? ... read full story / add a comment

The Irish Times' Maria O'Halloran spins this one as hard as she can for the boys in blue: "A number of people were injured in the clashes, though none seriously"; "He rejected suggestions that some protesters provoked gardaí. However, some 250 participants remained in Dame Street during the clashes [...]" "One of those involved said the car was owned by a participant and it was a symbolic "anti-car" demonstration [...] However, a Garda spokeswoman said it was a public disorder offence" What's the logical import of all the however's Marie? If I'm charitable I can assume that you don't understand what "however" implies in that context. I hope that you're just incompetent and not corrupt. ... read full story / add a comment

DemocracyNow! (Resistance Radio, Live from Ground Zero) is one of the best radio shows on the planet. Carried on the Pacifica Network (KPFK-LosAngeles, KPFA-Berkeley, WBAI-NewYork, KCRU and others) it is hosted by Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez. They carry reports from around the world about the struggle for Freedom and Democracy. Mary Kelly was interviewed on May 6th, live from inside the Church of the Nativity. She spoke about how one man had been killed by a sniper's dum-dum bullet (I thought they were banned by the Geneva convention?) and the detention of Peace Activists by the IDF. ... read full story / add a comment
