A World to Win News Service. Following are excerpts from a statement by the Communist (Maoist) Party of Afghanistan dated 17 May 2010. Translation by A World to Win News Service. In recent weeks, 45 Afghanistanis in Iran accused of drug trafficking have been executed. The Iranian authorities handed over the bodies to their families at a price of 1.5 million Iranian Touman (around $1,500). It is said that some of their internal organs were removed. It is also said that many more – as many as 3,000 – have been sentenced to die. There have protests against the mass murder of Afghanistani citizens in Iran, motivated by various considerations. However the puppet regime [in Afghanistan] and its occupier masters have chosen to remain silent. They are in fact cooperating with this crime and have an interest in it. The Islamic Republic of Iran is one of the backers of the traitor conference in Bonn (December 2001) that took place under imperialist supervision. It has also been one of the regional backers of the puppet regime and so far has spent around a billion dollars on the so-called reconstruction programme in Afghanistan. Because of its own contradictions with the U.S., the Islamic Republic of Iran sometimes voices opposition to the foreign forces in Afghanistan and backs some circles of the fundamentalist opposition to varying degrees, but it is mainly one of the regional backers of the puppet regime, and the two have good relations. read full story / add a comment

Due to the unpopularity of Fianna Fáil the party leaders have decided to hold regional meetings instead of an Ard Fheis. This is to avoid images of mass protests outside a gathering of the party faithful. Instead they are holding secret regional meetings. The Dublin one is on tonight in the Radisson Hotel in Golden Lane in Dublin 2. read full story / add a comment

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

The true-blue Tories are having to *save* 61 BILLION between now and 2014 !!! Interestingly they are cutting non-protected spends such as the NHS. 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 |
