Anarchists take direct action against torture / rendition flights at Baldonnel
Sunday April 16 saw the Irish government mark the 90th anniversary of the Easter 1916 insurrection against British imperialism. Some 120,000 turned out to watch a military parade and a fly past. To coincide with the event anti-war activists, most of them anarchists, were making their way to Baldonnel airbase where the planes and helicopters involved in the fly past took off from. This airbase has been used by USA Hercules military planes and has been involved in CIA torture flights.

Thanks to everyone who turned up and supported the quiz on Thursday night. The final sum raised was €346.60
I just watched the Baldonnel video from revoltvideo now -- I was moving in April, so I must have missed it entirely. Great to see so many people going and and exposing Baldonnel Aerodrome for what it is.
