Majid Tavakoli, a 24 year old student activist at Amir Kabir University, must not become another victim of the Islamic regime of Iran. He has been arrested and tortured a number of times for his student activities. The last time he was arrested was in December 2009 for a speech about the ruling dictatorship and for criticising Khamenei. He has started a hunger strike on 23 May and is in very poor health.

On 26 May, Mina Ahadi of the International Committee against Executions briefly spoke to his mother. His mother is also on hunger strike in support of her son. She is very worried and concerned about his health. She said that no matter where she goes, she is given no information on him nor allowed to speak to or see him. read full story / add a comment

On 12/7/2009, Agnieszka Chojnacka was arrested on the Clontarf Road, outside Duffy's circus, where she was engaged in a peaceful protest.

This case finally came to court the other day, Wednesday May 26. In an incredible tour de force, the animal rights activist, who defended herself, destroyed the State's case, laying waste to the two gardaí, who took the stand to lie about her. read full story / add a comment

The Freedom Flotilla to Gaza, which includes 11 Irish people, expects to arrive at it's destination within 48 hours despite Israel's vow to block the mission from delivering much needed aid to the beleaguered coastal strip. A forum of seven senior Israeli ministers who met on Wednesday 26th May have decided that the Israeli Navy will enforce a twenty mile exclusion zone around Gaza and will arrest all 800 crew and passengers taking part in the Freedom Flotilla should they pursue their mission to break the ongoing siege of Gaza. read full story / add a comment

Yesterday morning, as is their wont, Israeli Occupation Forces intruded into the village of Bilin, this time there were only three to the forefront with backup behind them, when challenged they beat a retreat. Yesterday afternoon, villagers rushed to quench a fire in an olive tree sited close to the Apartheid-Annexation Wall which had to be deliberately set on fire by the retreating IOF, but which was unable to be saved due to the fire being set in a crevice in the trunk which smouldered throughout the day and it was only in the latter stages that the tell-tale smoke was detected. read full story / add a comment

Despite the election of NoyNoy Aquino III to succeed the corrupt, brutal Arroyo, 43 healthcare workers continue to suffer military torture in the Philippines. Five detainees--Valentino Paulino, Cherrylyn Tawagon, Ellen Carandang, Jennylyn Pizarro, and John Mark Barrientos--remain confined to miitary dungeons, while 38 were transferred to Bicutan Camp Bagong Diwa, notorious for the massacre of Moro suspects. Carandang's children were taken from their home by the military, while the rest are subjected to daily torture, harassments of family and relatives, threats, and other horrors. We appeal to the international community with a conscience to demand the release of these innocent civilians. read full story / add a comment
