IRISH ACTIVIST BEGINS 14-DAY HUMGER STRIKE IN APPEAL FOR C.R.H. TO DIVEST FROM ISRAELI COMPANIES AND TO CEASE COMPLICITY IN HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS

The hunger strike has been intiated in an attempt to focus attention on direct irish complicity in the construction of the Apartheid wall, which violates International Law and contributes to grave human rights violations of the Palestinian people.

C.R.H. owns a 25% stake in the Mashav Group, an Israeli holding company for Nesher cement, who is the sole provider of cement in Israel. Amnesty International recently stated that "CRH, through it's subsideries Mashav and Nesher is likely to be providing the raw material of the fence/wall..if so it would contravene the U.N. norms on the responsibilities of Transnational Corporations and other Business Enterprises with regard to Human Rights (2003)"
