Amnesty International's annual report on the use of the Death Penalty has been published today, and serves a reminder that China, Iran and the USA continue to execute the most of their prisoners.

In 2005 over 2,148 people were executed in 22 countries, of whom 1770 were in China, 94 in Iran and 60 in the USA. 94% of those killed were in China, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the USA. An additional 5,186 people were sentenced to death

so far in 2006, 8 children have been executed in Iran, they join the statistics of underage offenders executed since 2000, the complete figure being 26, the majority of whom were executed in the USA.

Although I have been really busy recently, I though had agreed to be pencilled in to speak at a conference in Armagh city {this from Feb early March} for April 25th. The conference is under the title of ‘ Partners In Pluralism’.

I am unsure if invitation only, but I specifically made a point of pencilling this in as it draws in many strands of our local situation, and so may afford those in attendance a better understanding of various issues as we attempt to move forward.

Should be interesting.

Link {November Diary} attached - details such topics ranging from racism to education, from empowerment to resources and other local specifics etc. read full story / add a comment

This is a 2 part drama documentary with the first showing on
RTE 1: Sun 23rd at 9:35 pm and part 2 on RTE 1: Mon 23rd at 9:35 pm

This promises to be a reasonably realistic account of how a major accident would unfold in Sellafield and the reactions in Ireland by the people and the government. The first we would hear of it would come as a newsflash over the radio and it poses the question to us all, as to how would we react and what would we do.

We should remember of course there are many precedents for accidents at Sellafield and in particular the most serious was the Windscale fire on Oct 10th 1957 which spread radioactive Iodine over the UK and NorthEast Ireland where it has been suggested the high rate of Down Syndrome in kids born around then in that area, may be related. read full story / add a comment
