"Last September in a makeshift camp outside El Jeniena in Darfur, Sudan, I listened to a woman describe the attack on her village by government-supported militia. So many men were killed that there were none left to bury the dead, and women had to carry out that sad task"I listened to young girls who had been raped by the militia and then abandoned by their own communities. I listened to men who had lost everything except their sense of dignity. These were ordinary, rural people. They may not have understood the niceties of “human rights”, but they knew the meaning of “justice”. They could not comprehend why the world was not moved to action by their plight. "It was yet another example of the lethal combination of indifference, erosion and impunity that marks the human rights landscape today. Human rights are not only a promise unfulfilled, they are a promise betrayed." :- Irene Khan, Secretary General, Amnesty International. ... read full story / add a comment

On night of May 5th, alone, axtivist Mary Kelly insinuated herself into Shannon Warport and, praise the lord, for the past two weeks, mysteriously unhindered, she has been chopping 'n dicing a U.S.A.F. Globemaster into 100,000 pieces - her "cead mile failte" to the war criminals pissing on our neutrality. Tonight, job well done, she is in deep hiding, safe from the hue and cry and sipping a bottle or two of Bucky in modest celebration at the completion of her herculean and saintly task. Tomorrow, in Eyre Sq and Abbeygate St, Galway, she will be selling R.C. plenary indulgences, little plastic axes and figurines of her good self. ... read full story / add a comment

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 |
