fronts. We're asking people if they're up for making an artwork of some kind as

to be printed on a postcard or something similar. We're open to ideas. (Unfortunately, we aren't able to pay
for your work, but we have no wish to possess it!) read full story / add a comment

This month, a Canadian court refused to hear a habeas corpus writ to challenge the continuing detention of Basque refugee Iban Apalaoza Sancho and the state's plans to deport him to Spanish jurisdiction.

Iban is now on hunger strike in protest and the 17th has been set by the Canadian authorities for his deportation. The Dublin branch of the Irish Basque Committees called for support for protests it plans for the same day. read full story / add a comment
