In 1982, a close friend of Kurdish freedom fighter Salah Ameydi was captured by the Mukhabarat, the Iraqi Secret Police. They brought him back to his village, and seized his wife and eight-month-old son. The new parents were then tied up and made to watch as their baby was burned to death in front of them with a hot iron. When the agents were finished with the child, they forced the husband to watch as his wife was brutally raped by four Iraqi soldiers. The husband was then dragged off to Abu Ghraib and tortured for years on end as a “political prisoner.” read full story / add a comment

Now we have it confirmed from the horse's mouth! Swiss teenagers smoke more cannabis than their peers in every other European country, a survey has said, casting a pall over the country's prim and wholesome image. One in three Swiss 15-year-olds has lit up a joint within the past year, while the number of teenagers regularly smoking or getting drunk rose 10 percent between 1998 and 2002, the Swiss Institute for the Prevention of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse said in their survey. read full story / add a comment

A petty dispute re. occupancy of a deer killing hide in Wisconsin, USA escalated into a bloodbath when animal abusers turned their guns on each other. 5 hunters slain and another three wounded "in the bag". This novel approach to hunting will hopefully be taken up by those denied the opportunity to torment small mammals when hunting ban comes into force across the water. read full story / add a comment

for their annual ibero-american conference, the President of Spain Zapatero accompanied by Don JuanCarlos Bourbó de Bourbon (like a bourbon) the King of Spain discussed Zapatero's idea of an "alliance of civilisations" which would shape future relations between the continent and those who varyingly trade with it, invest in it, and exploit it. The plan has been met with much enthusiasm not least from the popular "leftist" regimes. read full story / add a comment

TCD Law professor and Former EU Parliament candidate for Dublin Ivana Bacik will be visiting UCD on Tuesday the 23rd of November. prof Bacik will be talking to us about the Criminal Justice Bill. If approved the Bill will allow for Gardai to issue on the spot fines to people if they deem fit, without stating a reason and without the right to appeal. It also allows for the Gardai to hold people for up to 24 hours and to retain a suspects DNA sample for 12 months. This bill if passed will undoubtabley be flawed in its application and biased towards young people. Id recommend that anyone interested in civil liberties should come along. Ivana will provide expertise in this area Talk will take place in room B101 in the Arts block at 1pm. All are very welcome to attend read full story / add a comment

New Cork yahoo group To keep people who join the group informed about alternative and left-wing and events and meetings and demos in Cork, everything from The SWP to the Tibetan Buddhists to community arts. Its getting hard to flypost and hopefully this group will make it easier to publicise events. Anyone can send messages to the whole group, but anyone posting stuff -which isn't publicising an event, -or is e.g: racist,homophobic or just right-wing will have that message removed and may be barred from the group. Another Cork, isn't, at the moment anyway a discussion forum, to avoid getting bogged down in dogma wars. . read full story / add a comment |
