Dublin Solidarity Vigil - Tuesday - Reports and Pics

category dublin | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Wednesday September 17, 2008 00:55author by Starstruck - Dublin Shell to Sea Report this post to the editors

The daily vigil continued today in Dublin as the security operation against Shell to Sea escalates

A large crowd assembled at 6pm today to show solidarity for Maura Harrington and the Shell to Sea cause and outrage at the continuing situation in North West Mayo.
A Shell to Sea activist was accosted and arrested for refusing to give his name by two special brnachers after the vigil as he was walking down the street.
Intimidation of this kind is unfortunately to be expected as the state uses last nights bomb threat to increase the pressure on the S2S activists and supporters.
The vigil continues today at 6pm and there will be a 24 hour fast and film screening beginning 6pm Friday should Mauras action be ongoing at that stage.

A large crowd assembled at 6pm today to show solidarity for Maura Harrington and the Shell to Sea cause and outrage at the continuing situation in North West Mayo.
Placards bearing Mauras image,banners and messages of solidarity were displayed and flyers were handed out to passing pedestrians and motorists.
Numbers continue to rise as the situation worsens with the continuing and unnecessary presence of the Solitaire in Killybegs maintaining Maura on her hunger strike protest.
The vigil continues today at 6pm and there will be a 24 hour fast and film screening beginning 6pm Friday should Mauras action be ongoing at that stage.
There will be a demonstration held at Shell HQ this Saturday at 1pm demanding an end to the crisis and a resolution to the dispute.

A Shell to Sea activist was accosted and arrested for refusing to give his name by special branch police after the vigil as he was walking down the street.Intimidation of this kind is to be expected as the state uses last nights bomb threat to increase the pressure on the S2S activists and supporters.
Also tonight,checkpoints were set up on all of the streets around Corrib House as the Gardai attempted to gather info on last nights incident.
If only the same precision was given to the blatant violations of law committed by Shell and their partners up until now in North West Mayo.

The struggle continues.

The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta has declared an oil war and has threatened all international industry vessels that approach the region. The group known as MEND said it is deploying hundreds of heavily armed fighters to carry out attacks on the oil industry in the Niger Delta. In recent days it has attacked facilities owned by Chevron and Shell.

But not giving your name is not a crime- what was the charge? was there one?

I strongly suggest that a complaint is made to the garda ombudsman whenever this happens.

These fuckers are very slow to give their names when asked.

Cameras should be used to record any interactions with the police- cheap digital camera or even a phone should be enough.

You don't have to talk to them.
Say you are on the way home.
They can't stop you if you say you are going home unless they are investigating a crime.

Many thanks for your time & trouble to try to wake people up to what's happening in Mayo. The Corrib Gas Robbery isn't just a little trouble affecting a few rurals way out West, it's a carve-up of Irish resources with no benefit to the people, & the Government's response to opposition has been to deploy Gardai in gross abuses of human rights - that is, everyone's human rights in Ireland are threatened by the precedent of what they can get away with on this.
Viva Maura - do all ye can to keep her alive!
