Despite the serious physical and psychological effects of female genital mutilation (FGM) and the fact that in some countries in Africa up to 90% of women undergo FGM, in Ireland at the moment FGM is not explicitly illegal and women can not officially be granted asylum status on the grounds that they or their daughters would be at risk of FGM if returned to their country. A few of us who were involved in the Campaign Against the Racist Referendum are initiating an activist-based working group to gather information and look into the possibility of campaigning for changes in the Irish legislation with regard to FGM and other issues relevant to female asylum seekers in Ireland. If you are interested in getting involved come to the first working-group meeting at 7:30 pm Thursday 25th November in the LASC offices. Meeting: 7:30pm, 5 Merrion Row (off St Stephen's Green), ring the "Latin American Solidarity Centre" bell. read full story / add a comment

Police Use Taser On 6-Year-Old Boy A 6-year-old boy was subdued with a Taser while wielding a piece of glass and threatening to hurt himself in the principal's office, officials said Thursday. The boy, who was not identified, was shocked by police with 50,000 volts of electric current on Oct. 20 at Kelsey Pharr Elementary School. The principal called 911 after the child broke a picture frame in her office and waved the piece of glass, holding a security guard back. He cut himself under his eye and on his hand. read full story / add a comment

"The Chilean economy: Neo-liberalism, Imperialism and the Poor" Talk given by Chilean economist Orlando Caputo Over the last 30 years, since Pinochet dictatorship, Chile has been subjected to all sorts of economic experiments by the gang of "Chicago Boys" (economics students from that university) that ruled the country hand in hand with the military. It became an actual laboratory for neo-liberal policies. These policies have affected the standard of life of the working class dramatically, transforming the country to one of the most unequal in the whole world (it's now the 7th worst). read full story / add a comment

"Restructuring the US economy and the Annexation of Latin America" Talk given by the Chilean economist Orlando Caputo Leiva. The changes on the US economy have influenced their politics, and therefore, have dramatically altered the state of the whole world. In light of the economic restructuring of the USA, we can better understand how their policy regarding Latin America is leaning towards an integration that deepens dependency, through Free Trade Agreements. These policies, of course, have as their main victims, the people of Latin America, who see their rights restricted and taken to the extremes, both the exploitation and the imperialist looting of our countries. ARTS BLOCK, Room 5039, Trinity College. Monday 22nd November, 7pm Hosted by the Latin America Solidarity Centre and Trinity Anarchist Society. All welcome. read full story / add a comment
