tyrone / rights, freedoms and repression / press release Wednesday November 12, 2008 16:26 by Saoirse
On the day that 1983 Long Kesh Escapee Pól Brennan will go to court in the USA to fight for his release, West Tyrone Ógra Shinn Féin have sent a message of solidarity and called for his “immediate freedom so that he can fight his deportation freely and fairly.” Pól Brennan has been imprisoned in US jails from January this year, because when he was stopped at a routine road block, his work permit had expired. Pól is not undocumented and has a work authorisation permit in the system since 2006, but he has neither received or been refused the permit. What began as a simple bureaucratic misunderstanding was soon escalated by the US Homeland Security who has also activated a deportation order for Pól. This completely ignores a US court ruling in 2000 which allowed Pól hearings for political asylum which are still ongoing. read full story / add a comment

international / anti-war / imperialism / news report Tuesday November 11, 2008 18:28 by Edward Horgan
On Monday 10 November US a US Air force executive jet, reg no 40109, a learjet 35 or a C 21A in military terminology, was being refuelled at Shannon airport, while being protected by a special garda escort. We dont yet know who the passengers were, but such luxuary transports are not for one star privates, they are normally reserved for one star generals and upwards. Some of these generals have been guilty of war crimes in Afghanistan and Iraq. It is most likely that the Gardai did not search the aircraft to ascertain if any war criminals were on board. read full story / add a comment

international / rights, freedoms and repression / feature Tuesday November 11, 2008 08:24 by remember Ken Saro-Wiwa
Thirteen years ago today, on November 10th 1995, nine men from Ogoni land were hanged at Port Harcourt prison Nigeria. They had been tried in a military court by the Nigerian dictatorship. One of the men, the famous human rights campaigner Ken Saro Wiwa had been a particular thorn in the side of the Shell oil company, which found itself unable to operate in parts of the Niger Delta because of the work organisating people to peacefully resist against their destructive activities. In stark proof of who controlled Nigeria at the time, his family had been told by Shell executives that he would be spared if he would help the company. Saro Wiwa preferred to die with honour. read full story / add a comment

cork / anti-war / imperialism / news report Saturday November 08, 2008 18:22 by Tom Barry
Cork Lord Mayor Brian Berminghan (Blueshirt Party) has organised a fun evening in remembrance of Irishmen deluded into fighting for the British Empire. They got sense after being ordered to stop machine gun bullets and after the 1916 Rising. Cllr Birmingham has yet to get his. Hopefully this disgrace to the 'rebel' county will be answered, and soon.

national / gender and sexuality / opinion/analysis Saturday November 08, 2008 18:16 by 201
There are 161 people in this country looking for a new political organisation. Sadly agressive little mobs have an ability to re-structure and re-group at enormous rates of rapidity. They will not be doing so in time for the next set of elections: http://www.indymedia.ie/article/89793 Before she left she destroyed the healthcare system , aided and abetted by centre-right party, The Greens. http://www.indymedia.ie/article/88159 http://www.indymedia.ie/article/85274 http://www.indymedia.ie/article/84946 The Sunday papers will busily eulogise on her contribution to Women's Politics, whilst it is evident that she has dealt women's health issues a cancerous body blow. She copper-fastened the most brutal econmic inequality and two-tier approach to women's health since the foundation of the state. read full story / add a comment

national / gender and sexuality / opinion/analysis Saturday November 08, 2008 11:15 by doing it with élan.
Let's be frank about it, Mary Harney's Genital Warts story is a shame crying out for a tongue wagging. As the most cultured amongst us know this year's Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology was shared by scientists in that trade who have made inroads in the virus research lark. One laureate managed to link up the HPV group of viruses with cervical cancer & before you could say "love me warts and all" most European states decided to vaccinate young wans against only 3 of the near 100 strains of HPV or "genital warts" a virus which indeed doesn't always produce warts...........it being a sly killer and all. read full story / add a comment

national / environment / opinion/analysis Friday November 07, 2008 15:39 by Oedipus at the National Theatre
Before the lawyers get busy, let's have a look at what he said yesterday when he announced that the Fioanna Fáil/Geen Party government was setting up a talking shop to give the impression that they care what people think about the project (which will go ahead, it seems, regardless of whatever the "Corrib Gas Community Forum" says or concludes). In the Irish Independent today, the Minister is quoted as saying the following: "Mr Ryan said it would give the State greater energy security, help bring down gas prices and bring in €1.7bn in corporation taxes over the project's estimated 15-20 year lifespan." read full story / add a comment |
