Word just coming to me of a group set to go and meet colin powell in Belgium (NATO) today. Support gaining strength for a group (name unknown) of Iraqi people residing in Belgium set to launch an intense effort to indict him for war crimes while on Belgian soil. Speculation is (reliable but infrequent source) that Powell appeared nervous about such action today. This weekend in Brussells there will be a BBQ outside the US embassy (Saturday) and a Reclaim The Streets party Sunday. Appologies for lack of further information. If anyone has more contact with people on the ground there please post. Unlikely that Powell will get arrested, but this could yet be a good advertisement of his crimes, the ill-will directed at him and the determination of people to bring him to justice. read full story / add a comment

Due to practical issues (stuff being scattered around various parts of Limerick and Dublin after coming out of prison), I am only now, with apologies to Karen, posting this letter she wrote in March. It's timely, however, after the Gardai's display at last night's peaceful sit-down protest, to remember that there is someone still in prison for civil disobedience relating to Shannon, refusing to co-operate with bail conditions on the basis that she does not believe she committed a criminal act. Five TDs and one senator agree, and called for our charges to be dropped at a press conference yesterday, along with those of Mary Kelly. In light of Ed Horgan's case before the high court, Karen's reflections on sections of the Irish constitution are also relevant and timely. - Deirdre. read full story / add a comment

The IAWM Dail blockade last night was the occasion for the
first direct confrontation between protestors and
Gardai in the capital since the start of the second Gulf War. The
Public Order Unit moved in in an attempt to disperse the
crowd. read full story / add a comment

As a supporter of this site I was very disappointed to see people were picketing Barry Andrews office last week. Calling him a war mongerer is out of line as he was the only FF td to put down a Dail motion seeking the Govt not to support the war in Iraq without a 2nd UN resolution. This must be some better targets within FF than Barry and he seems like such a nice young fellow as well. read full story / add a comment

Over three years have passed since the three-day killing spree in the village of El-Kosheh that left 21 Christians murdered, 33 Christians wounded, and 260 Christian homes and businesses destroyed. In a blatant disregard for justice, Egypt’s courts today acquitted 93 of the 96 defendants. The court’s verdict is a grave disappointment for Egypt’s Christian community who remain exasperated by several failed attempts to ensure justice and equity read full story / add a comment

this is a mailing about a stay in limerick prison where i briefly met karen fallon. ( shannon court case ). i am now using my charge of criminal damage to the constituency office of the minister for de fence, to complain about the government and the minister under provisions of the constitution. i urgently need some contact with mary kelly or those acting on her behalf, or other similar initiatives - to avoid duplication of effort. also, i will plead not guilty, not denying what i have done - but justifying it under international law / treaties / tribunals / principles . . . i obviously need to consult with others to carry this off - can you help me ? read full story / add a comment

A military spokesman has confirmed the use of cluster bombs, where a large bomb container scatters hundreds of bomblets over a wide area. The bomblets explode shredding anyone in a radius of hundreds of meters with deadly shrapnel. Worse still the military says only about 5% of the bomblets do not explode, leaving them as a deadly post war legacy which will continue to maim and kill Iraqis for decades. read full story / add a comment

According to the Geneva Convention, any airline that is involved in transporting military equipment or troops is a legitimate target in wartime. This includes individual flights that are not carrying anything dodgy, airline offices, warehouses, etc. NATO used this to justify some of the bombings it carried out in Serbia and Kosovo in 1999. Check out this website for a list of all airlines involved and more legal background. read full story / add a comment

I'm sickened to see these inhumane war mongers sitting so high and mighty. I just stumbled across these pages on the internet that show just how much money is being wasted and their plans for another huge arms business fair in early June. We had their 'spectacular' air shows in Salthill, Galway during last summer as their same helicopters were bombing Jenin Refugee Camp..... read full story / add a comment
