A common sense approach to forthcoming parades must prevail. To that end, G.A.R.C. take this opportunity to call upon Catholic/Nationalist and Republican people from near and far to come and stand shoulder to shoulder with the beleaguered Ardoyne community for the twelfth of July parade. Only together can we stop being treated as second-class citizens at the behest of sectarian bigots. read full story / add a comment

Translations provided by A World to Win News Service. Central Tehran was crowded on the anniversary of the presidential elections. People walked around on the sidewalks and in the parks around the universities looking for opportunities to step onto the main stage. But government security was also out in full force. Since early morning club-wielding uniformed and plainclothes security forces were stationed on foot, on motorcycles and in cars throughout Tehran, especially the city centre and the areas surrounding the universities. As crowds appeared, they began harassing passers-by and arresting those deemed "suspicious". Protestors were able to rally in groups of dozens or hundreds in several locations in Tehran and chant slogans such as "Down with the dictator". They clashed with the security forces at Azadi Square and on Azadi Street at the junction with Behboodi and Vali Asr. There were also reports of arrests in Enghelab Street in front of Tehran University. Witnesses said that the street was full of Basiji (religious militiamen) and special task forces. Huge numbers of forces were stationed around Vali Asr, Motahari and Vanak squares and Keshavarz Boulevard. There were several arrests at each of these locations. A video on the Web shows a crowd successfully freeing a woman the security forces were trying to arrest. read full story / add a comment

Press Release - For Immediate Publication. Several hundred people joined One Law for All on 20 June at Downing Street to show their opposition to Sharia and religious-based laws in Britain and elsewhere and to demand universal rights and secularism. A new report “Sharia Law in Britain: A Threat to One Law for All and Equal Rights” was published on the day to coincide with the rally. Human rights activist Gita Sahgal said of the report: “I think it is highly significant that in Britain there has been silence where there should have been condemnation. There is active support for ‘Sharia laws’ precisely because it is limited to denying women rights in the family. No hands are being cut off, so there can’t be a problem. Unfortunately for us, senior law officers will find that human rights expert bodies often have a similar attitude. They have done little research on the impact of family laws and the denial of justice caused by parallel systems of justice. That is why the findings of this report are so important. It is such dedicated work that changes the thinking of the experts.” read full story / add a comment

Child Benefit will not be taxed or means-tested but will be subject to a three year freeze. All eyes on the Chancellor (who interestingly has Irish Connections) read full story / add a comment

“If Bloody Sunday had been limited to a few troopers and their commander, why was the truth so long stonewalled and the cover-up so doggedly continued? Why did the families of the victims have to wait so long for the truth? Meanwhile the families of many other victims of unjustified shoot-to-kill, plastic bullet, or collusion murders, continue to wait for justice.” read full story / add a comment |
