galway / rights, freedoms and repression / news report Thursday September 23, 2010 18:08 by TD
Yesterday, the UN Human Rights Council issued, a 56 page damning indictment of Israeli actions on the night of May 31st last when the Gaza Freedom Flotilla was attacked in international waters resulting in the murders of 9 humanitarian activists and serious injuries to many of the other participants. The report recommends the prosecution of the Israelis concerned but led by the US and the Quisling Palestinian Authority, no doubt, the "international community" will be strenuously resisting this.?

international / rights, freedoms and repression / press release Thursday September 23, 2010 17:43 by IPSC
The Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC) today welcomed the findings of the UN Human Rights Council investigation into Israel’s attack on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla and called for the Irish Government to take action to sanction Israel over its illegal raid. The report found that Israel’s siege of Gaza is illegal and therefore the assault on the flotilla, which left nine people dead, was also illegal. Its findings also made clear that Israeli forces had unlawfully executed at least six people at sea, and used “extreme” and “unnecessary” violence against people – including Irish nationals - both at sea and in captivity. read full story / add a comment

international / crime and justice / opinion/analysis Wednesday September 22, 2010 21:48 by Clodagh
Larry Murpy was arrested by the gardai,after he kidnapped a woman and raped her,and was very close to killing her..Only for two deer hunters,actually came across her in a distressed state,muddied,bloodied,and with no clothing,she was brought into her local garda station by these two men,who then later tried to catch larry murphy with the gards in tow. He was also suspected of killing a number of other women,and was even one of the top names on ireland's cold case list.. It is evident the irish justice system has let us down,when a man of such evil can not only walk the streets of ireland,but of spain. As there is no RESTRICTION on suspected serial killers,(who are freed by the irish judicial system) travelling throughout Europe.. He was released 5 years early on good behavior,good behavior should be relevant to the crime committed..and in a cell with other predominantly male prison guards,surrounding the cells,how can this be proven. read full story / add a comment
