By Nicola Byrne Sunday June 18, 2006 The Observer Staff working at Shannon Airport are being pressed to report any evidence they see of trafficking of prisoners by the US military. It follows the discovery by a cleaner last Sunday of a manacled soldier on board a US civilian aircraft at the airport. The incident has proved highly embarrassing for the Irish government, which had always accepted assurances that no such traffic passed through its airports. Foreign Minister Dermot Ahern has now signalled that gardai may carry out random checks of US planes using the airport, but in the absence of any concrete decision human rights groups have asked staff at Shannon to report anything out of the ordinary. 'Only for the vigilance of one worker, we still wouldn't know for certain what we have long suspected - that prisoners are been transported through Ireland by the American authorities,' said Fintan Lane of the Irish Anti-War Movement. 'We are now depending on staff at Shannon to report more incidents. It's the only way we can find out what is being carried on US military aircraft at this point.' read full story / add a comment

Encouraging students to get involved in politics, representation, activism and campaigning is a funny business. In an ideal, perfect situation, you wouldn't have a division between encourager and encouragee; no-one should need to drum up interest among others or to have a position of 'managing' student involvement. But we don't live in that world, and it's perfectly usual to see students' unions, political 'youth wings', campaign groups and so on trying to encourage 'others' to get involved. read full story / add a comment

The right wing media in Britain reacted with predictable fury at Loach’s treatment of the Irish war of independence in his prize winning film ,The Wind That Shakes The Barley .The Times compared Loach unfavourably to Hitler’s favourite director, Leni Riefenstahl ;the liberal press - again predictably- took the view that the film was one-sided in its anti-British stance . In this Guardian interview Loach defends his film from liberal and tory critics alike . read full story / add a comment
