If you were a feminist activist in Iran today, you would be under the constant threat of arrest for a simple action: asking for equal rights. On Sunday, March 4, 34 women’s rights activists were arrested for silently gathering outside Tehran’s Revolutionary Court to protest the prosecution of four women on trial that morning. The four women’s rights leaders are facing multiple charges including “acting against national security” for organizing a protest for women’s equality in Tehran in 2006. read full story / add a comment

The Twelfth Convergence Sustainable Living Festival focuses on the issues of Climate Change and Peak Oil as catalysts of sustainable development.

US Supreme court has denied an appeal on behalf of inmates at gitmo this afternoon. Read the news at the link. http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/us/AP-Scotus-Guantanamo...login This is what Bush wanted. There now just short of 400 people officially at camp Delta which is one of 2 confirmed facilities in the bay. Only 5% of those were captured by US soldiers, the vast majority were bought from Pakistani and a variety of Afghan based militia groups. Yes. Dr Magneto just said "bought". It sounds different to detained, arrested, renditioned, seized, or magically levitated and moved. read full story / add a comment

It’s confirmed, total panic grips Howard government over Hicks scandal! The novice Environment Minister, Malcolm Turnbull, has weighed in on the Hicks debate with a wild accusation inferring that Hicks was “.. seeking to destroy our civilisation.” -- what next? Turnbull's statement follows hot on the heels of the stratospheric logic (see link) displayed by the Federal Treasurer in his effort to save the government -- who's next? read full story / add a comment

Church of Ireland Theological College Students in Good Friday Protest At US
Embassy Students from the Church of Ireland Theological College, training for ministry in the Church of Ireland, will undertake a prayer service outside the US Embassy in Ballsbridge at 3pm on Friday 6 April 2007 (Good Friday) in protest against Extraordinary Rendition and Torture by the US Authorities. The students (about 10 in all, male and female), will process from the nearby St Bartholomew’s Church, Clyde Road, behind a cross and in clerical robes to outside the Embassy where they will conduct a short service. They will also present a petition addressed to the United States Ambassador to Ireland which will call on the United States to extend procedural protections and human rights to all detainees and for an immediate end to ‘rendition flights’. read full story / add a comment

The Sunday Business Post reports today on what it alleges is a 'major setback to government waste policy'. If it is really true that Indaver intend to abandon plans for incinerators in Cork and Meath, in point of fact it would be the best news ever for government waste policy - a victory for the environment and for the thousands of people around the country who are implacably opposed to this unnecessary, filthy and deadly form of waste disposal. But let's not get too excited. read full story / add a comment

The unionist myth that more people in the North of Ireland speak Chinese than Irish has been shattered in the House of Lords. Statistics released at Westminster last week clearly show that the North's Irish speaking population is eight times that of the Chinese speaking population. read full story / add a comment

Notice the use of language -- Australian news radio (12 noon) today broadcast that “convicted terrorist, David Hicks, receives nine month sentence...” – shame on ABC news radio, one can only wonder whether the choice of wording reflected the fundamentalist conservative, evangelical christian values of the Howard-loving producer, who will remain nameless in this report. Unlike American loving evangelical christians, most Australians accept “convictions” as a result of fair trials and due legal process NOT sordid kangaroo court 'determinations'. read full story / add a comment

demand that the Dail is not dissolved until it ends the atrocity of our complicity in mass murder in Iraq. There is an irrefutable case that our TDs are aware that we, members of the UN, remained silent while half a million Iraqis kids were murdered by UN Sanctions up to 1998 That continued at 5,000 a month under 5y/o kids until March 2003. We then supported the illegal war of aggression - "the greatest crime of all" according to the Nuremberg Tribunal. read full story / add a comment |
