A photographer working for a Trinity FM web project captured the following shot of a Garda clearly removing the ID number from his shoulder. This is the first of a set of photos captured by our photographer that back up many of the allegations made on this site and elsewhere. read full story / add a comment

As a regular party-goer, I couldn't wait to reclaim the streets, though I was surprised that there was no real political agenda behind it - at least that was the opinion of the average, run-of-the-mill person who turned up. I enjoyed the dancing, and the different types of music, and the costumes and colour. And when the time came to move along, I went with the crowd - after all, it was just a good laugh, and the Gardai seemed pretty mellow about it all. Here I document the unexpected and unjustified police brutality suffered by the partygoers at the hands of Ireland's police force. read full story / add a comment

The Palestinians want their own country. There's just one thing about that: There are no Palestinians. It's a made up word. Israel was called Palestine for two thousand years. Like "Wiccan," "Palestinian" sounds ancient but is really a modern invention. Before the Israelis won the land in war, Gaza was owned by Egypt, and there were no "Palestinians" then, and the West Bank was owned by Jordan, and there were no "Palestinians" then. read full story / add a comment

as i was walking from the damn street massacre to the civic offices i saw a number of people who had been wearing "casual" clothes - trainers, jeans, etc (male and female) put on pig jackets and get their radios out. there was a clear undercover element there from the very start yesterday ; critical mass was tailed by two pig vans - while usually they only pick up on it from about half way on and tag along to the end. SO watch out in future, this is going to cause the pigs some serious hassle (anyone hear joe duffy today?) [their own fault of course], and they'll be looking to infiltrate what is obviously one of the most threatening political movements to emerge in years. read full story / add a comment

As a peaceful participant at the RTS protest I stood at the top of Dame street and did a headstand in the road in protest at what I had just witnessed, a young man being battoned on the head for no apparent reason. I was subsequently arrested(and assaulted in the police van) and the following is one of my official charges; "you the said accused....did an act to wit:engaged in the act of a handstand in the middle of a junction so as to cause or was likely to cause the traffic through such place to be obstructed." I wonder will it literally be laughed out of court, or could i catch them on a legal technicality as I was actually "engaged " in a headstand. So you are all welcome to join me at district court 46 on the sixth of June at 10:30am for a yoga demo/display of evidence! read full story / add a comment

Hi Folks, Eileen Whelan in the Newsroom in RTE wants to get in touch with 'organisers' and participants in RTS yesterday. You can contact her by phoning 01 2083111 and asking to be put through to the newsroom. Think it is worthwhile to tell 'our' side of the story. IMC here have provided them of footage of guards batoning with numbers off. They seem to be on a stick wicket so I don't think we should hold back in telling RTE what went on. Anyone know about hospitalised people? read full story / add a comment

The Irish Times' Maria O'Halloran spins this one as hard as she can for the boys in blue: "A number of people were injured in the clashes, though none seriously"; "He rejected suggestions that some protesters provoked gardaí. However, some 250 participants remained in Dame Street during the clashes [...]" "One of those involved said the car was owned by a participant and it was a symbolic "anti-car" demonstration [...] However, a Garda spokeswoman said it was a public disorder offence" What's the logical import of all the however's Marie? If I'm charitable I can assume that you don't understand what "however" implies in that context. I hope that you're just incompetent and not corrupt. read full story / add a comment

The IT has a reader's poll (look in the right hand column for the question and a yes/no button) which shows that so-far the greasy-fingered fumblers believe that this new legislation is A-OK. http://scripts.ireland.com/newspaper/breaking/regularvote.cfm After you vote, you get to read the comments by these depraved psychopaths and add your own! ;-) read full story / add a comment

I worked with other IMC volunteers today in covering the Dublin RTS event. My area was audio; this will be uploaded later tonight. What follows is my personal account of sun, samba, and, unfortunately, violence - some of it directed at Indymedia reporters wearing highly visible identification. read full story / add a comment

DemocracyNow! (Resistance Radio, Live from Ground Zero) is one of the best radio shows on the planet. Carried on the Pacifica Network (KPFK-LosAngeles, KPFA-Berkeley, WBAI-NewYork, KCRU and others) it is hosted by Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez. They carry reports from around the world about the struggle for Freedom and Democracy. Mary Kelly was interviewed on May 6th, live from inside the Church of the Nativity. She spoke about how one man had been killed by a sniper's dum-dum bullet (I thought they were banned by the Geneva convention?) and the detention of Peace Activists by the IDF. read full story / add a comment

FEATURED ARTICLES Travellers and activists to protest new Public Order Act Activists have often criticised the restrictions placed on protests and direct actions under the Public Order Act - and prosecutions under the Act have increased in recent years. Now they have been joined by Traveller groups in calling for a protest on May 2nd against a set of amendments to the Act pushed through the D*°il last month that create, for the first time, a crime of "trespass". This featured article takes a look at the current offences that have been used against political protesters, and the changes that the Government made under the anti-Traveller amendments Under these new laws, tagged onto the end of an otherwise normal housing bill, it's now a crime to enter and occupy or bring any object onto property (private or for the use of the public) where doing so would (among other things) damage, read full story / add a comment |
