Don't rely on second hand reports of the situation in Colombia. Ask your student union or political party to participate in the youth delegation trip to Colombia. Trip organised by Justice for Colombia Campaign, which sent a trade union delegation to Colombia last November, involving Irish and British trade unionists. The Colombian authorities tried vainly to exclude some delegation members. They failed, after street protests and confrontation with Colombian authorities forced them to back down. ... read full story / add a comment

Hundreds or maybe even thousands of people from Ireland will be travelling to Gleneagles, Scotland in early July to join others from all over the planet in protesting against the G8 Summit there.

In a dangerous attack on civil liberties, Tayside Police have decided to prevent the Wednesday 6th July march against the G8 demonstrating in front of the Gleneagles Hotel. In the same way that the G8 mafia want to control the world, Tayside Police believe they can control our streets and stop us having the free access that generations of Scots have fought for. "This is the 21st Century and we are in a democracy, we should be able to take to our own roads in Scotland and march past the hotel and have our voices heard." Campaigner Rose Gentle, whose soldier son Gordon died in Iraq last year, added: "We are not animals or terrorists - we just want our voices to be heard." ... read full story / add a comment
