PRESS RELEASE Left alone to die 19ú May/Bealtaine 2010 Not Now, Not Again. Not another Irish Republican, how soon we’ve forgotten. 29 years ago ten Irish Republican Prisoners of War gave their lives on hunger strike for Political Status, for Ireland. Each was scarified on the altar of British imperialism draped with the Butchers Apron. The administration in Occupied Ireland (DUP, SDLP and Provisional Sinn Féin) supported by their masters in Westminster are now hoping to freshen their blood soaked apron with another Irish Republican. His name, Liam Hannaway. read full story / add a comment

Some of Italy's most senior police officers have been given jail sentences of up to five years for what the prosecutors called a "terrible" attack on demonstrators at the 2001 G8 meeting in Genoa and an attempted cover-up. It isn’t expected that any of the police will serve sentences because delays in bringing the prosecutions mean the offences are “ timed-out “ under statutes of limitations . But several of the most senior defendants were also given five-year disqualifications from public office . Victims of the police expressed delight at the sentences. read full story / add a comment

The Financial Times says it had no problem editorially with an Amnesty International ad criticising Shell's practices in Nigeria but had to pull it for legal reasons. In case anyone is in any doubt what people in Ireland and beyond are up against when trying to get justice, remember you are not really dealing with the touchy-feely Shell that sponsors local events in Erris but with a well-oiled, well-funded global judicial machine that will stop at nothing to maximise profits. http://www.pressgazette.co.uk/story.asp?sectioncode=1&s...7&c=1 read full story / add a comment

The old saying goes “my enemy’s enemy is my friend”; however if it involves the Kurds that does not apply. When George W. Bush was in power in the US his administration declared Iran as part of an “axis of evil”, because of their rogue nuclear programme and belligerent rhetoric. read full story / add a comment
