The trial saw leaders of groups engaged in media support & internalisation of support for the Basque armed struggle independence tradition sit together in the dock in a process described by some as a "macro-trial". In the statement read to the court at sentancing the presiding judge Angela Murillo commented ......"KAS and EKIN are "much more than satellite organizations"; KAS "was ETA's media organization" and "EKIN is not any other thing than KAS in an apparent legal disguise..." read full story / add a comment

Seomra Spraoi is a large and vibrant social centre, just off Capel St in Dublin. It is used by small campaign and informal groups for meetings, workshops and is also a place where arts, crafts and children's activities take place. For a community of people engaged in seeking positive social change, it is a point of contact, a source of resources and information and a base for skills and knowledge sharing. Recently, the gardai have succeeded in having the place temporarily shut down, presenting the collective that runs the centre with a complex legal and bureaucratic situation. Maybe you can be of some assistance. read full story / add a comment

Well apparently they weren't all Grannies, ......but they were definitely ragin' in the best nonviolent sense and it certainly was an interesting demographic that kept knocking on the London Catholic Worker (LCW) door the previous night. Knocking for a meeting that was down at the Catholic Worker cafe. So my humble role of redirecting more militant traffic in the direction of the last fine tuning meeting remained constant. read full story / add a comment

- Stephanie Clare's photo of 11 year old Ghulam a girl in Afghanistan sitting next to her 40 year old husband on their arranged wedding day ( as in the marriage was arranged against her wishes - not that they should really come into it anyway - your 11 year old wants to get married to anyone - you say no ) won the 2007 UNICEF photo award today at a ceremony in Berlin (Europe). Many people will remember that one of the most admired & thought provoking photographs in the late 20th century was also of an Afghani girl Sharbat Gula who at 12 years of age was photographed by Steve Mc Curry and made th egfront cover of "National Geographic" to celebrate the end of the Taliban in 1995. It moved us all to take action. The americans went into to sort it out. The rest is the history of how the Taliban came back. read full story / add a comment

It has been announced that the Salthill Air Show for 2008 has been cancelled. Organisers attribute the cancellation to difficulties in raising commercial sponsorship, something they blame on the campaigning of the Galway Alliance Against War (GAAW). Potential business sponsors, evidently, do not wish to be associated with something as controversial as this air show. read full story / add a comment
