So writes Howard L. Berman, chairman of the US House Foreign Affairs Committee in this morning's LA Times in an opinion article which demands that the US State deparment under Hillary Clinton formally declare the Honduran crises as coup & thus cut all funding.

This article covers the continuing crisis in Iran, workers struggles, prisoners hunger strikes, the show trials and the Regimes problems in getting a new Cabinet appointed. Full text of article at link below.

Over the last few weeks, following the show trials of ‘reformist’ personalities and the imposition of even more severe forms of repression in Iran, the nature of protests has changed considerably. However, demonstrations continue on a daily basis in Tehran and most other Iranian cities, with numbers attending ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand. Reports from the working class neighbourhoods of Tehran, such as Ekbatan, Apadana and Karaj, and from the white-collar suburbs of Tehran Pars, indicate that anti-government demonstrations take place every night and often lead to confrontation between protesters and Bassij militia.

Last week dozens of political prisoners started a hunger strike in Evin prison and on the first day of Ramadan families of those arrested in recent protests gathered outside calling for the immediate release of all political detainees. There are daily protests in factories and workplaces against the political and economic conditions and in some provinces, including Khorassan, there is news of peasants protesting against confiscation of their land by religious authorities. Five hundred peasants from Sarakhss have staged a sit-in for the last week in front of Mashad’s main petrol station, complaining about the use of religious legislation to expropriate their land. read full story / add a comment

Google has added Irish Gaeilge, Yidish, Welsh, Belarussian, Macedonian, Afrikaans, Swahili, Mali and Icelandic to the suite of languages which its free online translation tool supports.

The last upgrade to the list which currently offers 51 languages was the inclusion of Persian or Farsi, an update which we remember occured during the "green revolution" and allowed us all to follow events in Iran without paying to much attention to tweeting twits based in US lobby offices.

This great news now means we will be able to follow similar events as they happen in Ireland without having to study Gaeilge, understand Hector or even own a copy of the Bunreacht. read full story / add a comment

Huge Turn-out in Bundoran Co. Donegal for Hunger Strike Commemoration, Saturday 29th August 2009. Event organised by Republican Sinn Féin. 100's attended. It was as large as the Provisional Sinn Féin (PSF) Easter event in Drumboe, Co. Donegal. This shows the growth of Republicanism and is another indicator of the continuing decline of PSF. read full story / add a comment

The 21st Desmond Greaves Summer School will address issues concerning Ireland's place in the wider world in the twenty-first century. Of particular concern will be the uses and limits of national sovereignty and whether the nation state is any longer relevant. With the second referendum on Lisbon imminent, the role of the EU and Ireland's position within it will be examined. There will also be a session on the events of 1969 in Ireland, particularly the North, in 1969, a year that was crucial in the development of the crisis there. read full story / add a comment
