Yet another Iranian Trade Unionist is threatened with flogging by the Iranian Theocratic Regime. His "crime"? Participating in "illegal" Mayday demonstrations. Here is an appeal from Iranian Trade Unionists, support them in their struggle against the Iranian Dictatorship. A summons for the administration of a flogging has now been issued for Tayyeb Chatani for participating in the May 1st event last year. Mr Chatani works at Par Rees factory, where he is an active shop steward. Eleven of the workers arrested for taking part in the May 1st event last year in Sanandaj were sentenced to 91 days in prison and 10 strikes of the lash. The Appeal Court changed the sentences to fines, but upheld the sentence of 10 lashes. So far, the lashing have been carried out in the case of 3 workers: Seddigh Amjadi, Habibollah Kalekaani and Faares Gaviliaan. The only crime of these workers is having participated in the May Day ceremony in Sanandaj. read full story / add a comment

An article that's currently doing the rounds is one which the authorities wish would quietly go away. Let's not forget that we in Ireland facilitate this barbarity by allowing the unfetterd access of our airports and airspace to the CIA. Wink wink... Nod nod... read full story / add a comment

The world wide campaign to turn out the lights for one hour on March 29th at 8 PM has been gathering support in Ireland.

Inspired by the collective effort of millions of Sydneysiders, many major global cities are joining Earth Hour in 2008, turning a symbolic event into a global movement. read full story / add a comment

Jim Moody interviews Ahmed Hussain who has defected from the SWP to the Conservative Party. JM: Why have you left Respect (Independent) group on Tower Hamlets council? AH: Initially the four of us left the party because of the leadership: it was not going anywhere. It was just out of order, because everyone was doing what they wanted to do. The reason I left the new group is because we were trying, but we were not going anywhere to help the community. The other thing is, the party itself is just not going anywhere because the electoral commission has put an embargo on the name. You can’t really re-establish the party all over again. It was quite hard to do with Respect. People had elected me to the council to serve them, and that was not happening because I was concentrating more on party problems. That was why I thought I should move on to another party. read full story / add a comment

I spent about 10 years involved in voluntary community initiatives like local publishing, charity concerts, youth concerts. My motivation at that time was intensely political and leftist. I believed that the economy was a machine run by the merciless logic of profit and that any involvement in it meant unacceptable compromise. Therefore, my own political principles meant that I marginalised myself from any formal involvement with it. On the sidelines, from my Comfortable And Quite Elevated Chair of Ideological Analysis, it was crystal clear to me that Community Development was just a con-job. It was a ploy by The Elite to sap the revolutionary vigour of the people and co-opt potential revolutionaries. read full story / add a comment
