Yesterday, on rain soaked Shop Street awash with bargain hunters, Galway IPSC did an awareness stall on Israeli Blood Diamonds in a continuing effort to persuade people not to purchase gemstones crafted in Israel and thus strenghtening the economy of a rogue state that, in regards to human rights, shamelessly exults and behaves like a mad dog off the leash. Israel, the dominant and alpha player in the cut diamond business, unlike Canada, doesn't mark the diamonds it crafts and the UN, true to form, exempts these conflict stones from the Kimberley Process thus leading to purchasers unwittingly buying the ordure of Zionism. read full story / add a comment

It is not so easy to build a time line on the issue of Tara and all that this entails. For starters the issue began many years ago and the campaigns have largely evolved with new people coming on to help as was necessitated, however, the General Election of 2007 provided a useful focus and of course saw a corrupt Minister for Environment replaced by one who is morally inept and constitutionally Hamstrung.. but I will give it a go. http://www.savetara.com/articles/2007/122707_contractor....html read full story / add a comment

Benazir Bhutto was shot in the neck and then in the head. The asassin then blew himself up and killed 16 people. President Musharraf has appealed for calm. He has not stated that the planned January 5th election will go ahead. George W Bush has condemned the attack, as has Gordon Brown. Both of these leaders are experiencing political difficulties at home with Brown embroiled in an Afghanistan scandal. read full story / add a comment

Today is the third anniversary of the Great Sumatra- Andaman Earthquake and a lot of help is still needed, unfortunately the links to the Isis site are not working so I cannot offer a Grassroot perspective of what has been achieved and what is still needed. read full story / add a comment

The area of linguistic rights and access to education from grassroot mobile library services through to prisoner's rights has always been a concern of the International Pen Union. Often the media, expecially in Ireland, would tend to ignore many of the press releases which along with Reporter's Sans Frontieres, IFEX, and other NGO groups have consistently attempted to highlight the dangers to the lives of writers in War regions and to those who advocate basic human rights to dignity and right of access to education. read full story / add a comment
