Early morning raids on houses in Dublin and the Holding Centre in Mosney resulted in the deportation of 60 'failed' asylum seekers to Romania and Moldova this morning. The Gards accommpanied them over to make sure they are delivered safe and sound into the hands of the Romanian police. Our Guardians of the Peace are probably preparing to make the journey back to Ireland this afternoon having aided in the forced transportation of nameless, faceless individuals who will be remembered (for about a week ) as the 'failed asylum seekers'. I can't help feeling that it is us who have failed these people. read full story / add a comment

This Saturday the 14th of February, the Dublin IPSC are holding a Month's Mind commemorative demonstration for British peace activist Tom Hurndall, who was killed by an Israeli soldier while helping Palestinian children to safety in Gaza.

Anyone interested in helping carry placards etc are asked to please be at the IPSC office (address above, ring East Timor Campaign buzzer and we're on the 3rd floor) at 12 noon sharp.

In March 2004, 53 nations will sit at the United Nations in Geneva to
discuss, argue, vote and then publicly declare if they believe sexual
orientation and gender identity are human rights or not.

In other words, they will say whether being Lesbian, Gay, Transgender or
Bisexual (or heterosexual for that matter) is a basic right of human beings.
What can you do about it?
