In the wake of the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences Bill) 2006; as amended in 2007,
two expert committees were set up to look at :- The issue of consent , to which interest groups
were invited to make submission; and in the wake of that a committee was set up under the
chairmanship of Mary O Rourke (Senator) to look at amending the Constitution.

Latest news on the issue of Protection is that the State may postpone the Referendum
now until 2009, because they do not (nor do the opposition) want the two Referenda
to coincide and create confusion for the voter. The Government had discussed holding
a referendum on Protection on the same day as the Lisbon Treaty Vote. read full story / add a comment

This past Saturday, a van load of pilgrims en route to the Festival of St Brigid in Kildare were stopped by the Irish Special Branch. We were questioned under Section 31 of the Offences Against the State Act and a detective accused me of being a terrorist. The paradigm shifts evident in this event are of concern and worth consideration.

"The licence of the magazine Zanan ('Women') managed by Shahla Sherkat has been cancelled as the monthly published articles undermining public confidence in law and order by leading people to believe that the Islamic republic was unsafe for women," the FARS news agency has reported citing an official it did not name.

Shahla Sherkat author, directing editor & founder of "Zanan" (="women") has told a handful of western news organisations that she has not been contacted by the Iranian state & learnt of the news herself on the FARS website. FARS is not the official Iranian news service (that's IRNA) but it seems quite likely. Her last monthly offering published a feature on gender violence & included a monthly toll. read full story / add a comment

For some time now, however, the fact that censorhip on politics.ie is more frequent, arbitrary and subjective than anything seen on many other sites has become pretty obvious. read full story / add a comment

Here is an appeal from International Labour Solidarity Committee of the Worker-communist Party of Iran on behalf of imprisoned students, workers and political prisoners. Full text at link.

The news on the condition of over 50 jailed students in Iran is very worrying. Last week Ebrahim Lotfollaahi died under torture in the city of Sanandaj. Nearly two months since their arrest and detention, many students continue to be held incommunicado. Reports from prisons speak of long and severe interrogation sessions by the feared Information Ministry officials, with many students being tort ured and kept in solitary confinement.
