REPUBLICAN PRISONERS ACTION GROUP The organizers of the Hunger Strike Commemoration at Casement Park on Sunday August 14th snubbed the prisoners currently in Maghaberry Gaol and their families. RPAG had approached the organizing committee earlier this week with a statement setting out the conditions of Republican prisoners in Maghaberry. The organizers confirmed this morning that the statement could be read, but refused to let the mother of the prisoner read it herself. Despite the promises when it came to the event this afternoon no statement was read out. RPAG is therefore asking the media to publish the statement. Geraldine Taylor of Republican Sinn Fein said: “The prisoners and the families are outraged at how they have been treated. The families have shown solidarity with the families of the Hunger Strikers and believe that they have much in common. However the sacrifice of today’s prisoners’ and their families has been virtually ignored by those organizing this event.” For further details please contact 028 90319004 or 07921973328 read full story / add a comment

Israeli violence against the people of Lebanon and Palestine has continued unabated today. This afternoon, Anti-War Ireland issued the following statement calling for an extension of Irish solidarity with those suffering in this conflict. More specifically, AWI believes that this is an instance when international solidarity is essential between the working class of Europe, and elsewhere, and workers and their families in the Middle East.
