As New York hosts Climate Week NYC ? "the world?s largest climate event" ? the absence of any major global leaders speaks volumes, says Tilak Doshi. Mugged by reality, the Net Zero dream is dying.

The Muslim man who attacked Koran-burning protester Hamit Coskun with a knife has been spared jail after the judge said he "lost his temper". Hamit, meanwhile, remains in hiding, as concerns about two-tier justice grow.

Best news this year - Scumbag Mckevitt to rot in jail

category dublin | anti-war / imperialism | news report author Wednesday August 06, 2003 13:47author by Pádraig - Fuck the 'RA Report this post to the editors

Hopefully he'll never see his family again.

August 6, 2003

(12:26) Michael McKevitt has been found guilty of membership of an illegal organisation, and of directing terrorism.

The Special Criminal Court gave its verdict this morning in the case involving the alleged leader of the Real IRA.

53-year-old McKevitt, from Blackrock in Co Louth, was the first person to be charged with directing terrorism, an offence created under legislation brought in after the Omagh bombing.

He could face life imprisonment. During the trial, McKevitt denied both charges.

The main prosecution witness, FBI agent David Rupert, told the court about army council meetings he attended with him and plans that McKevitt had to launch a new wave of shootings and bombings in the North and in Britain.

However, when a Garda surveillance document was disclosed to the court, McKevitt's defence claimed it contradicted evidence Mr Rupert had given under oath, and applied to have the trial stopped.

When this was refused, McKevitt sacked his legal team and refused to participate any further. He called it a political showtrial and stopped attending court.

The remaining witnesses, including the Garda Chief Superintendent who testified that he knew the 53-year-old to be a member of an illegal organisation, gave their evidence to the court unchallenged.
