A vigil in solidarity with the Afghan hunger strikers, who are currently in St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, will be held outside the building at 6.30pm today. Organised by anti-war activists, the vigil is intended to show our support and solidarity with those inside in their resistance to their impending deportation back to war-torn Afghanistan. Please make a special effort to attend and encourage others to come along also. This is important. These men have been without food since Sunday and have also decided to refuse water. It is imperative that the extent of public support for their demand to remain in Ireland is made clear to Minister McDowell and the Fianna Fail/PD government. A vigil will also be held at 12.30pm today for those who can make it during the day. read full story / add a comment

For the past 30 years Morocco has occupied the territory and many of the Saharawi people have been forced into exile in Algeria. read full story / add a comment

The Irish Anti War Movement supports the asylum claims of the Afghan hunger strikers in St Patrick’s Cathedral. The desperate measure by the 36 asylum seekers highlights the lies and the myth that the US and its allies are spreading democracy through its ‘war on terror’. The reality is that the US has replaced one group of thugs that it helped to create and fund – the Taliban, with another group that it now funds – the Northern Alliance (NA), to rule Afghanistan. The real agenda behind the US ‘war on terror’ is the extension of US power and dominance in the world. The Irish Anti War Movement calls on the Irish government to approve their asylum claims in recognition of the continued oppression and absence of democracy that exists in Afghanistan. read full story / add a comment

The latest Christian Aid report, ‘The climate of poverty: the facts, fears and hope’, launched to coincide with Christian Aid Week (14-20 May), highlights that climate change is now threatening development goals for billions of the world’s poorest people. The report reveals the stark reality that a staggering 182 million people in sub-Saharan Africa alone could die of disease directly attributable to climate change by the end of the century. Many millions more throughout the world face death and devastation due to climate-induced floods, famine, drought and conflict. The report calls on the Irish government to lead rich countries in taking urgent action to curb global warming.

The editor-in-chief of the conservative daily newspaper, Berlingske Tidende, is satisfied that he has now been charged with leaking classified intelligence documents in his newspaper in February 2004. The two journalists who wrote the articles about the leaked documents had already been charged at the end of April. Their editor expects all three to be acquitted if the case against them proceeds. In a series of articles in the newspaper from 22 February 2004, Michael Bjerre and Jesper Larsen published excerpts of reports which they had obtained from Major Frank Grevil of the Danish Defence Intelligence Service (Forsvarets Efterretningstjeneste, FE). Grevil, a secret agent who helped to write FE’s intelligence assessments of Iraq’s weapons capabilities for the Danish government, felt that Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen had exaggerated existing information about Iraq’s alleged weapons of mass destruction in order to persuade the Danish parliament to participate in the ill-fated invasion of Iraq in March 2003. Grevil himself has been sentenced to four months’ imprisonment, but is appealing his sentence in the European Court of Human Rights, on the basis that evidence that might play a decisive part in his defence has been withheld. More detail about the most recent development, plus link to background article, below. read full story / add a comment
