Renowned peace activist brings truth to the courtroom Kathy Kelly is a person of profound integrity, who knows how to walk the walk. She will testify at the trial of the Pitstop Ploughshares tomorrow in the Four Courts. In a climate in which the issue of Iraq and the use of Shannon has been put on the back burner for many, Kathy Kelly is there to remind us of what things are like on the ground for the ordinary people of Iraq as they continue to struggle with the ongoing daily realities of depleted uranium effects and ever escalating violence. Kathy has been a loyal and consistent supporter of the five on trial, having travelled to each of their trials and remained consistent in her support throughout the three-and-a-half years of legal proceedings. Renowned activist, writer and co-founder of Voices in the Wilderness, Kathy Kelly, will give evidence tomorrow, Tuesday, July 18th in the trial of the Pitstop Ploughshares, who were arrested at Shannon Airport for disabling a US military plane in February, 2003. Her evidence will begin at 10.30 in court 23 at the Four Courts, Dublin. |

Come on people, get it together. These guys are facing jail time THIS WEEK. It isn't a play... there's 100s of troops at Shannon each day. The war is real. Ireland's participation is real. Our opposition is not. The ploughshares have taken a courageous and effective action. Fair enough, not all will agree with it, but it's vital we offer support and solidarity during the final day of trial and the coming days of judgement, sentancing?
Let's pray for acquittal!!!
Keep up the spirits guys and girls. Yis are amazing. Dig deep into the aul reserves and pull out the special forces for the next few days. Yis are making a big difference in the strange history of this country.
