This is an interview conducted by Peter Tatchell with Mark Fischer and Yassamine Mather . There is also some commentary below in which Peter Tatchell makes clear the case against US aggresion towards Iran Neither Washington nor Tehran. A war against Iran would be another disastrous neo-imperial adventure, which would strengthen the Tehran dictatorship. The overthrow of the clerical regime by the Iranian people - not US military intervention - is the best way to resolve the nuclear crisis and prevent a needless, unjustified war. Peter Tatchell interviews Mark Fischer of Hands Off the People of Iran and Yassamine Mather of Workers Left Unity Iran, 21 September 2007. read full story / add a comment

For those without a subscription, here's the text of the long article in last Saturday's IT about the Corrib Gas dispute. It makes interesting reading, and gives a fairly balanced account of the recent history of Shell's scheme. Sadly, the lie that the project will provide 700 jobs is repeated as if it was a fact. Careful readers will notice that Shell never commit themselves to this (or any) figure, instead using meaningless phrases like "up to 700 jobs in the construction phase", etc. The Shell PR machine now seems to think that if it repeats the notion that the majority of the people in Erris actually support the scheme then it will become accepted. The company's plan, to install a high pressure pipeline and a huge refinery in a area of bogs which is prone to landslides, has never enjoyed local support, but Shell says the people of the local communities have "moved on". The coming months will show how much support Shell has. read full story / add a comment

The democratic aspirations of the Nepalese people have been betrayed by the current regime. It is no longer possible for the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist)-CPN (M)- to remain in government. This government was formed under the premiership of Nepal Congress leader Koirala. It was set up following the struggle against Nepal's autocratic monarchy in April 2006. This government, which included Nepal's eight main parties, was meant to hold elections to a Constituent Assembly. However, the continued existence of the monarchy is putting these elections under serious threat. The monarchy is spreading violence and disorder, in order to undermine democracy. The continuing failure of the government to declare a republic has left the Maoists with no choice but to declare a nation-wide people's movement to fight for a republic and the other just and democratic demands of the people, from the streets. read full story / add a comment

The largest protests in twenty years in Burma have seen a reported 10,000 bare foot monks march today as part of a crowd estimated at up to 20,000 people. Some of the monks had greeted Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the pacifist Nobel Peace laureate and house-arrested leader of the Burmese democracy movement at the gates of our prison-home at 54 University Avenue, Bahan 11201 Yangon, Myanmar (Burma) Saturday. In contrast today "the Hindu News" based in neighbouring India reports "A crowd of about 400 people led by monks peacefully gave up their attempt after being turned back at two different approaches, where police had placed barbed wire barricades". But everyone knows where that house-prison is............. .........."The only real prison is fear, and the only real freedom is freedom from fear." : Aung San Suu Kyi read full story / add a comment

It's difficult to succinctly represent the emotions in Peru today as the former president Fujimori returns from Chile on an extradition order to faces charges of corruption and human rights abuses. But when both the newspaper of the establishment "El Commercio" and the local (((i))) indymedia node coincide in minute by minute coverage of the event, it surely merits our attention & a passing reminder of at least some of the chapters of Peru's history which may soon see appendices of justice written. read full story / add a comment

The preamble to 'V':- "My Father still reads the dictionary every day. He says your life depends on your power to Master words" Arthur Scargill, Sunday Times, 10th January 1982. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Scargill 'V', by Tony Harrison is no means his definite statement on or deconstruction of the systems of power that mitigate against people, that would involve a look at his entire work, which include his use of the Leeds vernacular in 'The Mysteries', his Translations of Seneca, which informed the 'Theatre Works', his defence of ordinary people in Bosnia, Bradford, northern ireland and his television collaborations which are collected in 'The Shadow of Hiroshima and other film poems' But in the last week the bogeys of the Thatcherite era have been re-surfacing in photo and press and contemporarising for the neo-cons..
