news report
 Tuesday February 12, 2008 16:42 by Jo ta ke! - Ógra Shinn Féin osfnational at yahoo dot ie
 The youth wing of Sinn Féin has produced a short film of a recent mobilisation to the Basque Country. A short preview of the film has been uploaded to YouTube. Ógra Shinn Féin sent a large delegation of activists to the Basque Country in September of 2007, the mobilisation was planned to demonstrate solidarity, raise awareness of the peace process and learn from the huge growth and organisation of Basque Youth. While in the Basque Country, Ógra Shinn Féin travelled to political, social and cultural events across the oppressed nation, into both French and Spanish occupied territory. At a ‘banned’ march in the picturesque town of Donostia, the Irish youth delegation also experienced at first hand the brutal oppression of the Spanish state when the state police opened indiscriminately on peaceful protestors. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2Just watched te short preview there and have to say, its absolutely brilliant, by far the best youth video ive seen yet. Very interesting, engaging and nice use of Basque music :)
Also important solidarity, just saw on Basque News that 14 batasuna members arrested.
Keep up the good work irish republican youth.
Brilliant video, everyone should be active on the issue of Basque Solidarity. The human rights abuses of these activists is Franco in the extreme.
I'll pass it on and urge others to do likewise.
