![]() ![]() There has been a plethora of stories and images on this newswire in recent months of the suppression of Republican Political Dissent, the groups range from branches of the IRSP, through Eirigi and the re-opening of the Roisin Mc Aliskey extradition case by German Authorities. The links to the articles are included in the body of the text.

This letter gives an update on the continued oppression being inflicted on Iranian workers by the Iranian Dictatorship. It outlines why continued silidarity is necessary. Full text at link. Your August 9th international day of action was hugely welcomed and appreciated. Even if this has not yet led to the release of Mansoor Ossanlou and Mahmoud Salehi, it was a unique show of solidarity with workers and labour activists in Iran who are under constant persecution by the regime. I’m sure you are aware that in the past few months the Islamic regime in Iran has stepped up its persecution of protesting workers, women and students. The current wave of repression and executions is specifically targeting the widespread protests and strikes and the general anti-government climate in the country. The regime wants to intimidate the people. That’s why it has put up gallows in most cities and hanged scores in public in the past few weeks. read full story / add a comment ![]()

This an excerpt from a letter sent to Amnesty International, Human Rights Organizations and Student Associations and Groups regarding the illtreatment of students held in Iranian prisons. Full text of letter at the link. I am writing to you regarding the imprisoned students of Amirkabir University in Tehran. The Islamic Republic of Iran has launched a new wave of barbaric oppression in universities. Many students have been banned from studying; many others have been arrested and tortured. Three students of Amirkabir University, Majid Tavakoli, Ahmad Qassaban, and Ehsan Mansouri, have been accused of writing and distributing articles against Islamic Republic authorities and against Islam and they have been arrested. The aforementioned students have rejected the accusations; they have enough evidence to show that those articles were counterfeits made by the regime’s agents to be used against students. read full story / add a comment

"To endanger such a place is a symptom of the greed, corruption and disrespect being shown for nature, people and our environment. The solution to this controversy is to re-route 7 km of the double- tolled Motorway, but it seems that vested interests in this area have been preventing the consideration of any alternatives.

The conviction of Michael McKevitt was far from the finest hour of our judicial system. The latest revelations leaves no doubt that he was unfairly tried and convicted through the pages of the print media long before he appeared in Court. Under such circumstances, the media and Mr Mooney in particular must have the moral courage to undo the damage done in this case. read full story / add a comment ![]()

Instead of a greedy Thatcherite-style capitalism, there was supposed to be a more caring society, with fewer class divisions. But it was always a myth. The Celtic tiger produced the second highest level of poverty in the developed world and fell down on the Human Development Index complied by a United Nations agency. The real model for the Celtic tiger was the deregulated gung-ho capitalism of the United States, where few taxes are demanded of the rich and workers are asked to put up with low wages and run-down public services. Come along to an informal talk on "Class and the Celtic Tiger" by sociologist Kieran Allen. All Welcome to the basement bar of the Imperial Hotel, Tralee! This Thursday 30 August at 7.30 Hosted by Tralee Socialist Workers Party read full story / add a comment |
