Part of an International Day of Resistance and Solidarity the call for whcih came from Greece amidst the resistance against state oppression and murder there.
Police accountability will only occur when our demands become loud enough to be unavoidable.
State violence must be resisted at all levels be it in the form of the police or more stealthy in the form of the cutting of vital public health services.
Cutbacks that will cause the deaths or ordinary people will only be stopped by making our resistance to them loud, and effective.

Call For End To Sharia Courts After Report Shows Widespread Injustice

Press Release
December 17, 2008

A new report* showing that Muslim women are discriminated against and encounter gross bias when they subject themselves to Sharia adjudications was welcomed today by The One Law for All Campaign, which is supported by a variety of organisations and individuals.
* http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7783627.stm

The campaign’s spokesperson Maryam Namazie said: ‘This research reinforces our own findings that Sharia Councils and Muslim Arbitration Tribunals are discriminatory and unfair. However, the solution to the miscarriages of justice is not the vetting of Imams coming to the UK as the report has recommended but an end to the use and implementation of Sharia law and religious-based tribunals.’ read full story / add a comment

Anti-Blood sports Demo with life-size Stag visual…and Open air Book Launch outside the Office of the Taoiseach!

The AOHS is protesting outside the office of the Taoiseach Mr. Brian Cowen on Friday…. The purpose of the demo is to remind the Fianna Fail-Green government that the horrific so-called “sports” of hare coursing, carted stag hunting, and fox hunting will continue over the Christmas Season, making an absolute mockery of the “season of peace and goodwill”

FRIDAY 19thDecember, 1pm until 2pm at Upper Merrion Street. Dublin.2( the back of the Dail.)
The protest venue was chosen because the Taoiseach is a known fervent supporter of live hare coursing and other blood sports. We believe this sends out a very disturbing message, namely that cruelty to animals is OK!
