AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL DISTANCES ITSELF FROM LATEST GALWAY CAMPAIGN ON RENDITION
Wed 25th June 2008

"Amnesty International has distanced itself from the latest rendition campaign by the Galway Alliance Against War.

Amnesty chief Colm O'Gorman has pulled out of launching the Alliance's 'People's Inspection Teams' at this evening's public meeting on rendition in the City Museum.

It's in response to a statement issued by the Galway Alliance Against War claiming they were looking for volunteers to offer to search CIA planes landing in Shannon.

The statement announced volunteers would be asked to offer their services to the authorities to search CIA flights suspected of holding prisoners kidnapped by CIA agents and bound for secret prisons around the world.

However, Galway Alliance Against War spokesperson Paul Michael Garrett admitted to Galway Bay FM News this evening the People's Inspection Teams will not be taking the drastic action originally announced."
