Members of the Vol. James Sheridan Ogra Shinn Fein Cumann in Jordanstown University recently toured the site of Long Kesh outside Lisburn.
The cumann were privlidged to be accompanied on the tour by South Derry Republican, Paul McGlinchey who was incarcirated in both the cages and the H-Blocks during the 1970's and 80's. Pauls personal accounts and recollections on the republican history of the prison gave the cumann members a more indepth and real sense of the struggle fought by republican soldiers especially during the time of the no wash protest and the hungerstrike. read full story / add a comment

In the 1990s Polish anti-fascist activist Tomasz Wilkoszewski was sentenced to 15 years in prison for killing a neo-Nazi in self defence after he was attacked by the neo-nazi.

Tomek Wilkoszewski was jailed in March 1996. He's been deprived of his freedom for more than ten years. According to the verdict of the local court he must spend five more years in prison.

He has now served almost 10 years of his sentence, which means he is now eligible for parole, and he has a hearing coming up to decide if he will be released early or not.

More Info@ http://prisonersolidarity.blogspot.com/2006/03/time-to-....html

We also ask you to sign and distribute a petition available @ http://tuba.obin.org/obin_org/video/wawa/innepliki/tome...k.pdf

Tomek would also love to get letters from people, to break the isolation of prison. He can understand some English, but finds it difficult to write, so don't necessarily expect a reply...

His address is as follows:
Tomek Wilkoszewski,
Zaklad Karny,
ul. Orzechowa 5,
98-200 Sieradz,
Poland

The film had a complicated gestation but heavily involved the majority of the original Indymedia Ireland gang. We came back from working with Indymedia Italy in Genoa all fired up and determined to start an Indymedia in Ireland. Almost five years ago that was now.

The Protests against the G8 in July 2001 in Genoa Italy were the biggest and most significant protests in Western Europe since the Poll Tax riots in the UK. Italian Prime Minister Sylvio Berlusconi, wanting to impress his new best mate George W. Bush, orchestrated a brutal Media/Police preemptive strike on the Anti-Capitalist Movements' biggest First World mobilisation to date. When the weekend of protests ended Carlo Guiliani was dead and a school full of sleeping activists had been attacked in what is popularly referred to as the 'Chilean Night'.

The film traces the events of the three days of protests in detail and poses the question - Was it all a setup? If Seattle was 'Star Wars' then this is 'The Empire Strikes Back'. It is made from a combination of footage of the Genoa protests against the G8 shot by 10 members of IMC Ireland, material from the Italy IMC Archives and material from various other sources. This compelling footage combined with on the spot interviews and reenacted voiceover commentary and analysis from various websites which were active during the protests provides a in-depth blow by blow retelling of the story of the three days of the Genoa protests against the G8.

The film will be available on DVD in the run-up to the fifth anniversary of the Genoa protests. Watch this space for details. read full story / add a comment
