international / rights, freedoms and repression / press release Sunday July 02, 2006 02:01 by Coilín ÓhAiseadha
Six Iranian men have been on hunger strike in front of the Danish Parliament building since 19 June. The men have demanded of the Danish Government and refugee authorities that no more Iranians be deported back to their homeland. They also want a review of the cases of asylum-seekers who have been refused refugee status. Four Iranian women are also endorsing the protest. The women cannot go on hunger strike or otherwise protest in front of the parliament building, as they have to stay in the notorious Sandholm refugee camp to take care of their children, who are said to suffer greatly under deplorable conditions, in close confinement with adults. Please read the press release, issued on behalf of the hunger strikers by Danish supporters, below. read full story / add a comment

Peter wanted an excerpt from a letter about Palestine , published with this article, it contains a quote by Terence Mac Swiney: "It is not those who can inflict the most but those who can endure the most who will conquer" The heading and date of the letter, which was published in an Irish newspaper recently was torn off, he retains some of the body of it, because of its pertinence to his case. Someone brought it to him during the course of the week. Day 41: He is experiencing little in the way of symptoms. He has sciatica in his back and headaches, for which he is taking solpadeine. His movement is good and he is walking alright. he is looking thinner and needs to sit a lot. The anger is there he wants people to know that the people involved in the cases around his daughter are murdering him and asserts again his desire not to be removed from the Dail, by ambulance. read full story / add a comment

I had several long, worried nights with one of my babies. She was having difficulty breathing. No temperature, runny nose, cranky upset crying…nothing I could take her to the A&E with. There was just a subtle change in her that gave me an instinctive and terrifying sense that she was forgetting to breathe. read full story / add a comment

The US Supreme Court ruled today that Guantanamo Bay detention/torture centre was illegal (by implication) and the kangaroo military commission established to try the detainees is in breach of the Geneva Convention, well duh! Expert international lawyers stated the plain facts – illegality – of the matter from the start. Who could accuse the ‘slow to see daylight’ US court system of bias? Surely the principal pillars of American ‘justice’ could not be influenced by Bush or his neo-cons? read full story / add a comment
