Protest in support of Dr Aafia Siddiqui in Dublin
affiaprotest004.jpg

The IRSM held a day of action in the capital earlier today.

At 2.30pm members of the IRSP and RSYM accompanied by representatives of the Pakistani community in Ireland held an hour long protest at the American Embassy in Dublin to highlight the abduction torture rape shooting and framing of a Dr Aafia Siddiqui a Pakistani/American national abducted by US Special Forces in Afghanistan in 2005.

During the hour long vigil Garda special branch harassed members of the IRSM by taking names and addresses in an aggressive provocative manner obviously hoping someone from the movement would give them a chance to arrest them. Thankfully our membership stayed dignified throughout but had to intervene when a special branch detective tried to take the name of a 13 year old Pakistani child accompanying his family to the vigil. The Garda special branch detective backed down very quickly when he realized that the IRSM members were not going to stand for it all members of the Pakistani community who attended had their details taken but remained defiant.

The representative of the Pakistani community thanked the IRSP for its stance on highlighting this issue and vowed support for anymore up coming events.

In a short speech a member of the IRSP thanked all who attended and pointed out the significance to our movement this issue holds as the IRSM are both anti-imperialist and internationalist in its political outlook.

At 4.00.pm members of the IRSP and RSYM gathered at the GPO to hand out recruitment literature and also to continue highlighting Dr Aafia Siddiqui's case.
