The statement below has been produced for distribution at the World Social Forum, Brazil highlighting a campaign organised by Joe Higgins TD, Socialismo Revolucionario (CWI - Brazil) and the CWI against the recent threat to evict Kaiowa Indians from Cerro Marangatu.

When Joe Higgins arrived in Brazil to visit this landless community, he immediately contacted the Irish Foreign Minister and he protested to the Brazilian embassy in Dublin. This pressure along with letters of protest to many Brazilian embassies internationally has obviously had an effect on the Lula administration. Representatives of the local authorities in Mato Grosso do Sul informed Joe that government officials in Brazilia have contacted them demanding information on the case. ... read full story / add a comment

Sky , over the time the 'Irishheads' (who would later establish the IMC here) got to know him in Genoa for the Anti G8 protests, became our new best friend. I can remember it like it was yesterday sitting at the cafe beside the Genoa IMC being ranted at by Sky about why ireland needed an Indymedia Site yesterday. I remember him going around in his raver necklace in the Centre on the Sunday of the protests chilling others out even though he knew big trouble was coming our way. He ended up in a coma in Hospital and We never saw him in the flesh again. The Daily mail slandered and scapegoated him in the worst way possible and this Guardian Article (Cut and pasted as site requires registration) tells the whole story in a fair way. Fuck the man from the Daily Mail and good on Sky for Harrasing them and standing up for his rights. ... read full story / add a comment

This trial supposedly arose out of the discovery of "disturbing" photographs by a woman working in a photo-processing laboratory.

The soldiers are said to have (besides beating the prisoners) have forced their prisoners to simulate anal and oral sex. ... read full story / add a comment
