Rather than head off to their respective homes for the Xmas break, a group of out of town activists based in Galway procrastinated the sweet inevitable for a day in order to bear witness to suffering Palestine.

An information table was manned outside Lynch's castle,Shop st, where flyers on Israel's Apartheid Wall were handed out to passing pedestrians. The peak experience of the day was Khaled from Palestine,chancing upon us and visiting serious heartening appreciation on our efforts after joining us for the remainder of our five hour stint. read full story / add a comment

9 states globally have enacted laws which allow their courts put to trial those accused of genocide. Accordingly June 2003 Spanish Judge Baltasar Garzón jailed Ricardo Miguel Cavallo, (also known as Miguel Angel Cavallo), a former Argentine naval officer, extradited from Mexico to Spain pending his trial on charges of genocide and terrorism relating to the years of Argentina's military dictatorship (1976 to 1983) in which over 9,000 Argentinians and as many as 30,000 disappeared.
Today the Spanish courts ruled that Cavallo may better tried in Argentina. As a result, as of this morning the Argentinian state has 40 days to get their extradition process & papers in order. read full story / add a comment

Ógra Shinn Féin mobilised across Ireland on Saturday 16 December demanding the release of IRA prisoners in Ireland and anti Imperialist prisoners across the world.

There were protests, solidarity collections, candlelit vigils, banners made and thousands of leaflets distributed to a very supportive public.

There was also a public meeting held in the English midlands by Socialist Labour Party highlighting the campaign.

The message went out loud and clear from the day of action - A.R.I.S.E and free the prisoners!

For the remainder of the month of December there will be further actions in solidarity with the prisoners.

In light of the Moriarty Tribunal report into payments made to Charles J. Haughey, it seems as good a time as any to reflect on the career and influence of one of the most controversial politicians - some would say the most controversial politian - that Ireland has ever seen. We now have a clearer, almost forensic, understanding of what Haughey gained from public office, but what about the balance to that? What did he give to the Irish people? What did he leave behind? What is his true legacy? read full story / add a comment

Summer 1995 -Greenpeace activists occupy Brent Spar platform
international / environment / other press Monday December 18, 2006 23:48 by S.Cat   image 1 image
Everyone remembers the appalling events surrounding the murder of anti-Shell activists including Ken Saro Wiwa in Nigeria in 1995. But the hot summer of ''95 was also the year of the Greenpeace campaign against Shell UK to stop the company from dumping the Brent Spar platform at sea.

Talking to Shell people, you find that they still feel that they were right, and the British environmental group was misguided when it campaigned to have the disused rig dismantled on shore. But nevertheless, the debate was certainly won by Greenpeace, with Shell eventually giving in after a large scale campaign of direct action, blockades, occupations and pickets.

The fact that Russian environmentalists have got in touch with the lawyers who represented Greenpeace, as outlined in the Guardian story below, must be causing disquiet in the Shell boardroom. They can only hope that Russian internal politics might mean a way out for them, or else their shareholders will have more to worry about in 2007. read full story / add a comment
