Heavy handed response from Gardai

Here are some pictures of the antiwar protest in Shannon earlier today. The non-violent nature of the protest was not reflected by the heavy handed nature of the Garda response. At one stage one of the speakers, Thuria from Iraq, was unnecessarily manhandled by Gardai. Despite this protesters managed to stage a sit down and later a lie down protest.

We're talking but are they listening?

Sit Down protest gets plenty of attention!

Overtime!

Resting after a long day...
