Here is a list of imprisoned Iranian Trade Unionists. In Iran Free Trade Unions are illegal and workers who attempt to organise to defend their conditions are imprisoned flogged and murdered. You can take steps to to help these workers as the one thing the Mullahs fear is publicity. Copy the list into an email and send it to the Iranian Embassy demanding that these workers be released and their safety guaranteed. Send emails, faxes and letters of protest to: The embassy of the Islamic Republic of iran, 72 Mount Merrion Avenue, Blackrock, Co. Dublin, iranembassy@indigo.ie Tel: 01 288 5881 / 01 288 0252.

Yesterday, yet again, protestors in Nabi Salah were subjected to merciless Israeli violence with one youth injured and ambulanced away for treatment. This time, however, the perpetrators were repeatedly challenged by a brave, brave woman: Huwaida Arraf, who blocked with her body two Israeli Occupation Forces soldiers from firing killer, high velocity tear gas projectiles at some stone throwing youth. With telling truth she informed them that the the demonstration was over and their continued presence was designed to provoke and intimidate and for them to go home - her pleas were in vain as the IOF made continuous terrorising forays on foot and jeep into the village until late into the evening. read full story / add a comment

Things are getting very busy here - after a peaceful June Gathering the camp is once more set to become a focal point for resisting Shell pipeline work. Shell are due in the estuary any day now to drill 80 boreholes - pipeline survey work that should take all summer. Yesterday we shut down the Shell office in Belmullet. Today Maura Harrington was jailed for non payment of fines. Niall and Pat are still in jail. Generally it seems that lots of people are wising up to the oil industry in the wake of the BP disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.... read full story / add a comment

--- Jailing comes as Shell prepare to start destructive borehole drilling --- Maura Harrington was today jailed for non-payment of fines relating to protests against Shell's disastrous Corrib Gas project. She is currently en route to Mountjoy Prison. Mrs Harrington is now the third opponent of Shell in jail, following Pat O'Donnell and Niall Harnett. This is the fifth time Mrs Harrington has been jailed in the last 18 months, and comes as Shell have sent letters to residents of the local area, warning them of the start of drilling works in Sruwaddacon Estuary beginning 'in the coming days'. read full story / add a comment

50 Irish farming, food and environmental organisations and businesses sent a letter yesterday (24 June) to the Irish Agriculture Minister, Brendan Smith, asking him to block the European Commission’s latest move to force the approval of more GM crops for cultivation at EU level. Michael O’Callaghan of the GM-free Ireland Network said failure to do so will make it impossible for the Irish Government to implement its policy to ban field trials and cultivation of GM crops in the Republic, and also weaken the credibility of the Government’s proposed voluntary GM-free label that would provide Irish farmers and food producers with a competitive advantage in the global export markets. read full story / add a comment

Hundreds of people took part in a protest June 23 2010 at the Mansion house in Dublin where the Taoiseach Brian Cowen was going to 1,300 euro dinner with the organisation of local capitalist class that hands him his orders. As various bosses and Cowen went into the venue protected by ranks of Gardai, with the riot squad on standby outside the back entrance of Anglo Irish Bank and mounted police across the road, they were jeered by the crowd with shouts of 'thieves', 'robbers' and 'scum.' read full story / add a comment

A World to Win News Service. Following are excerpts from a statement by the Communist (Maoist) Party of Afghanistan dated 17 May 2010. Translation by A World to Win News Service. In recent weeks, 45 Afghanistanis in Iran accused of drug trafficking have been executed. The Iranian authorities handed over the bodies to their families at a price of 1.5 million Iranian Touman (around $1,500). It is said that some of their internal organs were removed. It is also said that many more – as many as 3,000 – have been sentenced to die. There have protests against the mass murder of Afghanistani citizens in Iran, motivated by various considerations. However the puppet regime [in Afghanistan] and its occupier masters have chosen to remain silent. They are in fact cooperating with this crime and have an interest in it. The Islamic Republic of Iran is one of the backers of the traitor conference in Bonn (December 2001) that took place under imperialist supervision. It has also been one of the regional backers of the puppet regime and so far has spent around a billion dollars on the so-called reconstruction programme in Afghanistan. Because of its own contradictions with the U.S., the Islamic Republic of Iran sometimes voices opposition to the foreign forces in Afghanistan and backs some circles of the fundamentalist opposition to varying degrees, but it is mainly one of the regional backers of the puppet regime, and the two have good relations. read full story / add a comment

Due to the unpopularity of Fianna Fáil the party leaders have decided to hold regional meetings instead of an Ard Fheis. This is to avoid images of mass protests outside a gathering of the party faithful. Instead they are holding secret regional meetings. The Dublin one is on tonight in the Radisson Hotel in Golden Lane in Dublin 2. read full story / add a comment

On Wednesday 23rd June, Irishman Tommy Donnellan took part in a protest outside the meeting of Kimberley Process Conference in the Hotel Dan Panorama in Tel Aviv. The conference is meeting to discuss the global trade in “conflict” or “blood diamonds”, and the protest was organised to highlight the double standard in the Kimberly Process which bans the trade in rough diamonds that fund human rights abuses but facilitates the far more lucrative trade in cut and polished diamonds that also fund such abuses – including Israel’s occupation of Palestine. During the protest, Mr Donnellan was questioned by Israeli police and had his passport and phone numbers taken down. read full story / add a comment

Campaigners hung a banner reading “Energy shouldn't cost the earth” from the roof of Shell offices in Belmullet this morning at 8am. This protest connected the environmental disaster suffered by the fishermen & people of Louisiana with the threat faced by the fishermen and people of Erris. In particular the protest was in solidarity with Pat O'Donnell who has been jailed for his courageous defense of the seas and his livelihood. read full story / add a comment |
