I went to the European Parliament in Brussels to tell the Parliament what I knew of Ireland’s involvement in the unlawful rendition for torture process at Shannon airport. I insisted on linking the extraordinary rendition process with the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the combined serial abuses of international law that these wars and the torture processe involved. To a large extent I was telling the EU parliamentary special committee what they did not want to hear – “don’t mention the wars” – I told them anyway, in the brief summary of my submission that the 15 minute time slot allowed me. My main submission was thirty-seven pages long, with 45 separate attachments and it became clear very quickly that very few had even read the executive summary of my submission, and some of those who did, read it only with the intention of trying to discredit it, and discredit me. The Irish Times report on Friday captured the tone of the parliamentarians response “the witness failed to present t read full story / add a comment

Upstanding decent folk throughout the english speaking anglo-saxon world have had enough of suffering in silence at the latest assault of Satan on their values. As cable and network TV shows us Mr Brad Pitt's "first tattoo", others' attention and concern is aimed at the NHS (national health service) of Great Britian, where tax-payers are expected to pay for the removal of a tattoo from a navy veteran who is strong word here - transsexual. & Doctors warn on the risks of leprosy and syphilis from piercings. read full story / add a comment

Speaking to MEP's in Brussels on Thursday, former Irish army commandant and UN peacekeeper Edward Horgan said that the Parliament's TDIP Committee investigating the CIA's activities in Europe must call at least four Irish Government ministers to face questions about torture-related abuses at Irish airports: the Ministers for Justice, Foreign Affairs, Defence and Transport. The Department of Transport's figures for the first quarter of 2006 show that over 1,300 armed US troops are passing through Shannon Airport on their way to or from Iraq each day. At the same time, as documented in Horgan’s presentation, flight logs of aircraft owned or operated by the CIA show that Shannon has served as one of the most important nodes in a network of airports used by the agency to conduct its programme of "extraordinary renditions" for torture. It is a matter of particular urgency for Horgan that hundreds of undocumented prisoners are in imminent danger of suffering summary execution in order to conceal crimes of torture committed under the extraordinary renditions programme, and he thinks it is most likely that some have already been murdered. In a perversion of justice, members of government have demanded that concerned citizens present conclusive evidence of crimes of torture committed at Shannon Airport, while directing airport security staff and members of the Garda Síochána to harass, detain and arrest these same activists – including Horgan – in their attempts to gather such evidence. read full story / add a comment

Amnesty International's annual report on the use of the Death Penalty has been published today, and serves a reminder that China, Iran and the USA continue to execute the most of their prisoners. In 2005 over 2,148 people were executed in 22 countries, of whom 1770 were in China, 94 in Iran and 60 in the USA. 94% of those killed were in China, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the USA. An additional 5,186 people were sentenced to death so far in 2006, 8 children have been executed in Iran, they join the statistics of underage offenders executed since 2000, the complete figure being 26, the majority of whom were executed in the USA. ___________________________________________________________________ read full story / add a comment

the Bööög, is one of Zurich's treasures, and at the height of that city's Spring festival "Sechseläuten" or 6 bells, the 3.5 meter statue of a snowman whose head is stuffed with explosives is set alight. A group termed by Swiss press as extremist , calling itself the "1. Mai – Strasse Frei" (loosely translated as "Reclaiming the Streets on May Day"), is reported as sending a letter to the Swiss media claiming responsibility for the theft, saying the 3.5-metre tall snowman "had had enough of putting its head on the line for capitalists". read full story / add a comment

There was a well attended meeting held last night in Dublin where some of those arrested were present along with representatives from Anarchist Prisoner Solidarity, Anarchist Youth, Revolt Video, Peace Network and other campaigns. There was a lot of discussion of how best to help those arrested at Baldonnel and future activities to support the 4 ( Details will be released very soon) The legal support team who have been monitoring the recent events at Baldonnel have appealed for people who were present at Baldonnel to contact them with their accounts of the events. It is important that people write up their experiences as quickly as possible while events are still fresh in peoples minds Lots of film footage is currently being scrutinised by the Legal Support Team and we are aware that there is more footage and photos taken that day that may be of use in mounting a substantial defence for the 4. Would people please forward their statements etc. asap to: weknowitwasyou -at- riseup -dot- net Released On Behalf of Anarchist Prisoner Solidarity read full story / add a comment

For the past 11 weeks our Department of Education and Science and one of our Health Authorities have been in the High court spending millions of taxpayers’ money fighting to ensure that a young boy with special needs no longer gets the education that has been of great benefit to him over the last two years. I do not have to picture the spectacle, I know it well. read full story / add a comment
