Yassamine Mather examines the reality of the continuing struggle against the regime's oppression. On March 8, for the second time in a week, demonstrators gathered in the streets of Tehran and other major cities in Iran to protest against the regime - despite its attempts at suppression, its armed security forces, its tear gas and its arrests. Thirty-two years ago, on March 8 1979, tens of thousands of Iranian women took part in the first major demonstration against the newly established Islamic Republic of Iran, following the forced imposition of the hijab. The women’s slogans were: “I say it every moment, I say it under torture: either death or freedom!” “Freedom is neither eastern nor western: it is universal!” “Death to censorship!” “In the dawn of freedom, the place of women is empty: revolution is meaningless without women’s freedom - we do not want the hijab!” read full story / add a comment

With the vitsit of the British Monarch to Dublin due to take place in May 2011, many Irisih Republican's consider this to be the last part of a process which has been aimed at solidifying the partition of Ireland and legitimising the continuing British occupation of six northen counties. A process that began with the establishment of a 'friendly' (in British terms) leadership of the Irish Republican Movement in 1986, continuing through ceasefires, decommissioning, treaties and open support for the British colonial police, referred to as the PSNI. The visit by the British Monarch to Dublin is seen by many as the concluding part in this drawn out process. read full story / add a comment

The following letter appeared in various newspapers last year addressing the issue of Orangism and the Orange Order in particular. I came across it and believe it is worthy of republication here. Specifically as the issue that is addressed is the clash between Republican ideology and Orangism, which have become pertenent with the debate around the British Monarch coming to Dublin in May. The traditional battle between Republican's and Monarchists is still with us and will remain while the so-called Irish Question is unresolved read full story / add a comment
