Solidarity Protest
at
Dail Eireann, Kildare Street, Dublin
12 noon - 2 pm

Show your solidarity with those charged with direct action at Shannon (Catholic Worker 5 - 'The Pitstop Ploughshares', Mary Kelly and others by demonstrating outside Dail Eireann. The Ploughshares will join the protest after their overnight vigil at the Israeli Embassy.

21 April is the day that Mordechai Vanunu, the Israeli prisoner of conscience is due to be released. He 'blew the whistle' on the secrets of Israel's nuclear weapons of mass destruction and was criminalised and imprisioned for his action. Similarly, the CW5 - Pitstop Ploughshares and Mary Kelly are facing criminalisation and imprisonment - if the Irish Government has its way - for taking non-violent direct action to disable a warplane on its way to Iraq. Meanwhile the real war criminals are using Shannon as a base from which to launch WMDs and terror across the world.

We say: drop the charges against CW5 and Mary Kelly and put the war, GW Bush, Tony Blair and B. Ahern on trial!
