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

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
