Join IPSC members and supporters protesting at the AGM of CRH, the Irish multinational associated with the supply of cement for construction of the "Apartheid Wall" through Palestinian land in the West Bank.

The Wall will cut off up to 14% of the West Bank, destroy or render inaccessible huge areas of valuable farmland, and impoverish thousands of Palestinians. Many will be trapped in their villages and cut off from essential medical and social services.

CRH has a 25% shareholding in an Israeli cement company, Nesher, which is believed to supply raw materials for construction of the Wall. read full story / add a comment

please come to Clover Hill prison court in Clondalkin or Bridewell , behind the Four Courts, tomorrow morning at 10:00am.
The men's hearing will be at Clover Hill and the women's , there are 4 of them, at Bridewell.
Clover Hill is harder to get to but we need as many people as possible.
The hearings are of 25 people arrested on, & most of them held since, Mayday on charges of not moving when told to by the guards & in one case , stealing a police hat.
and also 3 people held since last week & charged with tresspassing (in a derelict building)

they are probably very shaken & scared of facing increased charges. they need to know they're supported.
come and help get their charges dropped.

the court begins at 10:30 sharp.we are going to be in the courtrooms.
there won't be a demo, some prisoners have said they'd prefer just our support . read full story / add a comment
