Michele Fabiani, 20 yrs, Andrea Di Nucci, 20yrs, Dario Polinori, 21yrs, Damiano Corrias, 25yrs, and Fabrizio Reali Roscini, at 42 years of age have become the latest people described by Italian commercial media as "linked to the Federazione anarchica informale" to be arrested under article 270 (b) of the Italian criminal code. That's the one that makes it illegal to organise a group for national or international terrorist acts and the subversion of the democratic order.

At first glance we're talking about 2 young women and 2 young men & one 42 year old. Maybe the auld-fellah uses mosturiser. Though I doubt it, but at that first glance we might presume on the scant data available at the moment that he'll be termed a "ringleader" of this "informal anarchist federation group". But since I myself (who has never used mosturiser) am closer in years too 42 than 20 - I suggest this story be considered as an update on the ongoing oppression of social movements & black block anti-system types in Italy.

Ireland granted residency to about 17,000 parents of Irish born Children mostly women and then decided that these category of Irish Citizen Children do not have any entitlement to family unification and so we have a situation where the fathers of these children are being turned away. What we risk creating for our future generation is what I dread because this policy if not reversed will only polarise the community and we will have the "us" and "them" divide. read full story / add a comment

Award winning journalist and documentary maker, John Pilger marks the European release of Michael Moore's latest film, Sicko, with an examination of why the documentary film-maker exerts such influence, with fans and enemies alike. "In societies ruled by an invisible government of media," he writes, "no one has broken through like Moore, who breaks every rule by reporting from the ground up, instead of from the top down."

Here is a report of yet another murderous attack on a worker activist by the Iranian State forces. Trade Unionists in Iran deserve our support in their struggle for the right to form unions.

On Thursday, October 18, at 9:00 AM in Sanandaj in Iran, 3 plain clothes agents who had covered their faces attempted to assassinate Majid Hamidi a labour activists in Sanandaj. Mr. Hamidi is a member of the Coordinating Committee to Form Workers’ Organization as well as a member of the Committee in Defence of Mahmoud Salehi. Reports by the two above organizations, indicate that Mr. Hamidi was shot 7 times in the arm, shoulder and neck. Friends and neighbors immediately took Mr. Hamidi to the Sanandaj’s hospital and he was transferred to Tehran for surgery.

According to the Committee in Defence of Mahmoud Salehi, Mr. Hamidi himself has said that this is the least price workers and labour activists have to pay in Iran to achieve their demands and rights. read full story / add a comment

Tony Blair ,the UN’s peace envoy to the Middle-East has issued a stern warning on the rise of Islamo–fascism. Speaking at a charity event in New York last Thursday night Mr Blair addressed the danger Iran posed to peaceful countries in the Middle-east and beyond. He told the audience at the $1000 - a -head dinner that the world faces a situation which he compared to the “ rising tide of fascism in the 1920s”.
