The IT has a reader's poll (look in the right hand column for the question and a yes/no button) which shows that so-far the greasy-fingered fumblers believe that this new legislation is A-OK. http://scripts.ireland.com/newspaper/breaking/regularvote.cfm After you vote, you get to read the comments by these depraved psychopaths and add your own! ;-) read full story / add a comment

I worked with other IMC volunteers today in covering the Dublin RTS event. My area was audio; this will be uploaded later tonight. What follows is my personal account of sun, samba, and, unfortunately, violence - some of it directed at Indymedia reporters wearing highly visible identification. read full story / add a comment

DemocracyNow! (Resistance Radio, Live from Ground Zero) is one of the best radio shows on the planet. Carried on the Pacifica Network (KPFK-LosAngeles, KPFA-Berkeley, WBAI-NewYork, KCRU and others) it is hosted by Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez. They carry reports from around the world about the struggle for Freedom and Democracy. Mary Kelly was interviewed on May 6th, live from inside the Church of the Nativity. She spoke about how one man had been killed by a sniper's dum-dum bullet (I thought they were banned by the Geneva convention?) and the detention of Peace Activists by the IDF. read full story / add a comment

FEATURED ARTICLES Travellers and activists to protest new Public Order Act Activists have often criticised the restrictions placed on protests and direct actions under the Public Order Act - and prosecutions under the Act have increased in recent years. Now they have been joined by Traveller groups in calling for a protest on May 2nd against a set of amendments to the Act pushed through the D*°il last month that create, for the first time, a crime of "trespass". This featured article takes a look at the current offences that have been used against political protesters, and the changes that the Government made under the anti-Traveller amendments Under these new laws, tagged onto the end of an otherwise normal housing bill, it's now a crime to enter and occupy or bring any object onto property (private or for the use of the public) where doing so would (among other things) damage, read full story / add a comment

Dear Dad, It was an enormously heavy responsibility you raised me with. You taught me that the Jews have been oppressed for centuries. You taught me that the holocaust could only happen because the Germans were silent. You taught me that Jews must never, never, never be silent when injustice occurs, because our silence makes us complicit. read full story / add a comment

Every Irish person, lost in the horror of what the Israelis, supported by US of A are doing in Palestine, can look with amazement if not pride at the courageous actions of those brave people who managed to access those who have taken refuge in the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. The fact that an Irish women, Mary Kelly, is amongst them, answers so many questions for those who watch with anguish but feel there is nothing any one of us can do. There was, and she amongst others has done it. May be these brave people have secured those seeking refuge from a bloodbath which the Israelis would happily engage in. When Mary comes home, alive and safe as we all hope, we should organise a cavalcade of honour, and freedom of the city. read full story / add a comment

There was a good turnout yesterday for the annual May day parade in Belfast. The march began just after 11.00 from Belfast Art College, and made its way to St George's market. There was a good atmosphere all round probably helped by the fine weather, and music which ranged from the drum beat to the bagpipe. Anarchists from the Anarchist Federation Ireland and the Anarcho-Syndicalist Federation distributed copies of their respective bulletins -Resistance! and Solidarity -both before and after the march, on which the ASF unveiled an impressive new May day banner. At St. George's market afterwards, there was food, drink, music and stalls selling the literature of the different political organisations involved in the day's events. All in all, a fine day out.

Professor Nollaig O Gadhra, Galway University, speaking today on Wbai's Radio Free Eireann, NYC, said that Sinn Fein's election campaign was dishonest. They are talking about equality when the North is the issue he said. Also, Sandy Bowyer called for letters of support to be sent to Colm Murphy in Portlaoise Prison, who was not convicted of the Omagh bombing, but of conspiracy. Note: Professor O Gadhra, because of his republican beliefs, was banned from the U.S. for 20 yrs. until his fellow republican, Albert Reynnolds, intervened on his behalf. Now we know why. read full story / add a comment |
