The Unmanageables held a Mourning Tea at the Irish Aviation Department this morning as part of the International Womens Day for Disarmament.

Veils were worn in mourning for the lives lost to War.

The location was chosen by the Women to symbolise our disgust at the Irish Aviation Authority's facilitation of the continued illegal war in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan.

Blood on our hands symbolises our culpability in war and rendition flights.

We say Our Government is not mandated to utilise Shannon in such a manner.

The event commemorates an incident in 1849 where starving victims of the Great Hunger were forced to walk through a night of freezing snow in the hope of receiving food aid from the British authorities. Estimates vary of how many people died on the death march and shortly after, but the night is still remembered as an occasion of terrible loss of life in the area.

Young republicans from the Lurgan area engaged with local students today the 22nd May, in remembrance of the 1981 Hunger Strike. A leaflet drop at a local high school saw hundreds of students given information leaflets about the Hunger Strike and details about the developing Ógra group in the area.

Activists were met enthusiastically, with some students requesting further leaflets for friends and family. read full story / add a comment

The decision by Mr Prodi to honour the public will of the Italian people and withdraw the Italian presence in Iraq, and also to describe the war as "illegal" and a "mistake" has allowed Italians to give more attention to the manipulation of information during the Berlusconi years and return to the causes of Italian casualties & hostages during the Iraq war. The most senior officer of the Italian forces to be killed was Nicola Calipari of the Italian secret service who was shot by the US army.

on the 4th of March 2004, after one month spent in captivity, Giuliana Sgrena a journalist of the italian newspaper "il Manifesto" was released after negotiations had been opened by Calipari and brought to "safety". Their route had been communicated to their US coalition partners before hand. It is important to remember that the murder of Calipari and his subsequent state funeral prompted Berlusconi to first suggest the withdrawl of troops, but unconstitutionally, as he made the offer through his own TV station & not in parliament. Giuliana Sgrena has now published a book on her experiences & granted an interview, which I am reproducing in english translation here. read full story / add a comment

Mc Dowell wanted us to ponder this :-
"Probably the most important one is that the United Nations high commissioner's representative in Ireland and his predecessor have both pointed to the fact that the Irish system is one of the best in Europe and that it's a good and fair one and that it's transparent, that it's subject to judicial review."

Most of us of course disagree. But one word of Mc Dowell's statement made last week & republished again in today's Irish Times screams out for more attention :-
"Transparent".

After spending a long week outside St. Patricks Cathedral Anarchist Youth yesterday held a film showing to allow everyone to relax. We chose to show the major hollywood film "V For Vendetta" for free as we are opposed to the idea of entertainment as a commodity and intellectual property laws that outlaw downloading and sharing information (movies, music, games, software).

The following is the basic text of a talk given before the film. read full story / add a comment

On Saturday we witnessed one of Ireland’s first organised racist counter demonstrations. The demonstrators while being made up of what can only be described as very disenfranchised poor who were joined in the evenings by an assortment of drunks. But there was at least on Saturday afternoon a number of ordinary working class residents who were angered at the attention being drawn to the refugees, while their local area suffered huge social problems. read full story / add a comment
