On 13 April, riot police smashed the gates and climbed over the walls of Kian Tyre factory, in the outskirts of Tehran, to forcefully evict hundreds of striking workers. Scores were beaten up and arrested, with many hospitalised

Farhad Ghaasemi, WPI reporter in Tehran said: “They used axes and kicked in doors and began brutally attacking the workers with electric batons. Roaming the site on motorbikes, they battered anyone who happened to be on their way. Scores were arrested and at least two busloads of detained workers were taken out of the factory”. read full story / add a comment

The purpose of this article (see below the video) is to provide further support to the statement upheld by politicians, academic and legal experts that the Lisbon Treaty is a constitution.

The emphasis on this fact is vital because from this fact it follows that the Lisbon Treaty needs referendum not only in Ireland but in all of the 27 EU member states.
Because the Lisbon Treaty a constitution, it is crucial to understand that no constitution ever permits the act of overthrowing it, i.e never allows the act of replacing it with another one without the permission of a country's citizens. Therefore the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty without referendums in the other 26 states, is a dictatorial power-grab over Europe. (Please see the document referred at the end of the article.)

With this article we wish to call Ireland to Vote NO to Lisbon Treaty!
Vote NO to a constitution that establishes a dictatorial federal regime with powers over all Europe.

Summary: Mordechai Vanunu, the Israeli whistleblower will be given a visa to live in Norway, initial reports from Norway suggest at present. Vanunu spent eighteen years in an Israeli prison for revealing that Israel has nuclear weaapons. For the past four years (since his release), he has lived under the most severe restrictions to his freedom. He is not allowed to travel freely, not leave Israel even to the occupied West Bank or Gaza, nor speak to foreigners.

Norway's offer once again brings his name and fate to the attention of the conscience of the international community. read full story / add a comment
