The Irish Penal Reform Trust has questioned why Justice Minister McDowell is privatising the prisoner escort service when a report produced by his own Department found that “privatisation of prisoner escorts is not a viable option”. The IPRT further asked on what basis the Minister has made this decision when he himself admits, “no detailed research was undertaken into the experience of privatised prisoner transport in other jurisdictions.” read full story / add a comment

Simon Chapman (English), Fernando Perez Gorraiz (Spanish), Carlos Martin Martinez (Spanish), Souleiman "Kastro" Dakduk (Syrian), Spyros Tsitsas (Greek) and two Greek juveniles are continuing to be denied justice, despite overwhelming evidence that they have been framed and despite solidarity protests around the world. On November 10th the hunger strikers began refusing liquids, they have already been on hunger strike over 40 days. read full story / add a comment

Despite the shocking history of East Timor and the unncessary massacres that the world's powers facilitated and watched, it's all happening again. Indonesia has brought over 11,000 troops to West Papua (its colony since 1969) in recent months and intimidation, torture and massacres are becoming increasingly common. The official Irish government stance is to respect the sovereignty of Indonesia and hope that dialogue between Indonesia and Papuan 'separatists' can resolve the inevitable turmoil. Ridiculous! read full story / add a comment

On Tuesday 4 November 2003, the United Nations voted for the twelfth consecutive time to oppose the US economic, commercial and financial blockade of Cuba. This year a record 179 countries (including Ireland and Britain) voted against the blockade, with only the US, Israel and the Marshall Islands supporting its continuation. The illegal, unjust and immoral blockade of Cuba by the US continues to create huge shortages and hardship for the Cuban people and must be lifted. Given increased threats from the US, including the real possibility of military invasion, a recent tightening of the blockade by George W. Bush (despite Congressional opposition) and increased hostility towards Cuba by the EU, international support for the Cuban Revolution and the country's right to national self-determination free from US interference has never been greater. The US government must be made to listen and act on the democratic and moral will of the United Nations. read full story / add a comment

On Monday, November 3rd, the five Catholic Workers, otherwise known as the 'Pitstop Ploughshares', are back in the Dublin Circuit Court for a pre-trial hearing. The five - Karen Fallon, Nuin Dunlop, Deirdre Clancy, Ciaron O'Reilly and Damien Moran - disarmed a US naval plane at Shannon Airport last February and are facing up to ten years in prison on charges of causing approximately 2.5 million Euros worth of damage to the plane. The five claim that they acted on the Hebrew Scriptural imperative to 'beat swords into ploughshares.' read full story / add a comment |
