Dublin Solidarity Vigil - Tuesday - Reports and Pics

The daily vigil continued today in Dublin as the security operation against Shell to Sea escalates

A large crowd assembled at 6pm today to show solidarity for Maura Harrington and the Shell to Sea cause and outrage at the continuing situation in North West Mayo.
A Shell to Sea activist was accosted and arrested for refusing to give his name by two special brnachers after the vigil as he was walking down the street.
Intimidation of this kind is unfortunately to be expected as the state uses last nights bomb threat to increase the pressure on the S2S activists and supporters.
The vigil continues today at 6pm and there will be a 24 hour fast and film screening beginning 6pm Friday should Mauras action be ongoing at that stage.

Numbers continue to rise as the situation worsens with the continuing and unnecessary presence of the Solitaire in Killybegs maintaining Maura on her hunger strike protest.

If only the same precision was given to the blatant violations of law committed by Shell and their partners up until now in North West Mayo.

The struggle continues.
