international / rights, freedoms and repression / news report Wednesday November 14, 2007 15:53 by Arise
Article 26 of the Declaration of Human Rights states that everyone has the right to education yet since 1979, the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran has systematically sought to deprive its largest religious minority, the Bahá'í Faith, of the right to a full education. The situation in Iran represents perhaps the only case where the right to education is being intentionally denied to an entire group of people. This denial of education is based entirely on religious discrimination. read full story / add a comment

international / environment / feature Tuesday November 13, 2007 23:50 by Tadhg McGrath
A large crowd braved the cold evening weather to attend the first Irish screening of the documentary on the trial of Ken Saro-Wiwa and the Ogoni Eight - "Don't Let Shell Kill Again" , which was appropriately projected onto the outside wall of the Shell headquarters building at 52 Lower Leeson Street in Dublin, on the 12th anniversary of the executions. Sister Majella McCarron, in what will probably be her last public appearance, made a short speech to provide a context for the film, remembering Saro-Wiwa and the others who were executed at the behest of Shell, after a series of events which shocked the world in 1995. Sister Majella gave us an insight into the situation in Ogoniland today, and Senator David Norris read an excerpt from Saro-Wiwa's speech at his sentencing hearing in Port Harcourt, when he and his co-defendants heard that the special military tribunal had decreed that they were to be hanged. read full story / add a comment

'Particiaptory democracy' is not something we have heard much of from Labour over the last decade or two. Interesting therefore that the term should fetch up in arch pragmatist and moderniser Fergus Finlay's Irish Examiner column today. The piece was a kind of starting shot for the Labour Party conference taking place this coming weekend. read full story / add a comment

Delaram Ali, a Womens rights activist has been sentenced to be flogged and to serve 34 months in prison. Her "crime: demonstrating for womens Rights. Delaram Ali has been told to present herself to court in order to start serving a prison sentence which has not formally been conveyed to her. She has been told that if she does not attend court by 10 November, she will be arrested. There is also a risk that she will be flogged. If she is detained, Amnesty International would consider her to be a prisoner of conscience, detained solely for the peaceful exercise of her right to freedom of expression and association for her activities promoting women’s rights in Iran. The Head of the Judiciary has the power to suspend Delaram Ali’s sentence and to order a reinvestigation of the case. read full story / add a comment
national / consumer issues / news report Tuesday November 13, 2007 15:06 by C Murray
This morning the DOHC [Department of Health and Children] press released on the OECD report on Healthcare. The report is set in a time period that ends at 2005. The DOHC decided not to add the link onto their website so I am publishing it here. Apparently we are doing quite well on Health, a bit of critical underspend and the necessity for the department to juggle the figures. Of course the 2007 Breast Cancer Crisis is not mentioned on this file,but directly under the link there can be found the statement by Ms Harney on the issue (dated last week- the scandal broke on the 4th of September). read full story / add a comment
