Shannonwatch vigil

category clare | anti-war / imperialism | event notice author Wednesday June 09, 2010 21:55author by Shannonwatchauthor email shannonwatch at gmail dot com

Regular second-Sunday-of-the-month vigil. Takes place at small roundabout just before entrance to airport.

Are arms being transported through Ireland to Israel for the types of massacre committed on a peaceful aid ship last week?

Shannonwatch and the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign have called on the Minister for Transport to ensure that no arms are being supplied through Shannon or Irish airspace to Israel. They also call on workers at the airport to support the Palestinian call for boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel by refusing to service Israeli planes if they are permitted to land at the airport. [See press release at http://www.shannonwatch.org/PressReleaseBlockade080610.htm].

Come along to Sunday's vigil to support these calls and to demand an end to the militarisation of Shannon airport.

The vigil will also be a vigil of remembrance for the aid activists murdered by Israeli commandos.
