On Monday, two members of the Irish Peace Alliance - Venus and Natasha - climbed a tree in the grounds of the Israeli Embassy, raised the Palestinian flag, and demanded to speak to the Israeli ambassador. Both are friends of Irish aid workers Caoimhe Butterly and Mary Kelly who are under siege in Ramallah and Bethlehem. Caoimhe is in Arafat's building where they are now confined to three rooms.
In a statement, Venus and Natasha accuse the Israeli government of ignoring both the Geneva Convention and the Oslo Accord that protects the lives of the innocent in Palestine. They want an assurance from the ambassador that the lives of their friends and all the other international observers are safe and that no further harm will come to them. They also want an explanation for the shooting of the aidworkers, international journalists, observers, and innocent Palestinian civilians. Update Saturday: Venus finally came down from the tree after six days - she is still very worried about her friends. Update 10.00am Friday: More Garda harassment in the early hours of this morning. An Post has delivered letters to the tree... full report and latest photos. Update 1.00pm Wednesday: Two women are still up the trees - Natasha had to go but she has been replaced by Tracey. Venus has now been up the tree for two days and nights... full report.
Update 11.00pm Tuesday: Venus and Natasha are now in seperate trees. Large groups of friends and supporters have been arriving all evening with chat and equipment, including a letter of support from the Palestinian Consul General. Venus and Natasha need people to visit them through the night (directions here).

The continuing dangers of Britain's nuclear folly, Sellafield, were brought home to Dubliners on a sunny Saturday afternoon by a 'Nuclear Meltdown Drill' organised by Globalise Resistance. The scenario was simple - imagine that a major nuclear accident has happened, and that it's time to put the much-discussed emergency plan into effect. The event started outside the Central Bank, where the model of Sellafield started to self-destruct, followed by an evacuation through Grafton Street, the heat of the city's shopping district, followed by a mass 'die-in' on the street and a protest outside the Dáil (parliament).
The event, which had been in planning for over a month, was covered by a large group of Indymedia reporters, who produced a selection of images, audio, and video.

In one sentence: should a suicidal pregnant woman be prevented from obtaining an abortion in Ireland? is the question being put to the Irish people on March 6th. The question "should abortion be available in Ireland?" is not being asked in this, the fifth referendum on the subject in 20 years. Some pro-life groups have called for a no vote (Mother and Child), some for a yes vote (Pro Life Campaign), while most pro-choice groups have condemned the referendum and called for a no-vote. (Irish Family Planning Association, Alliance for a No Vote)
Pro-choice group Alliance for a No Vote (ANV) claim the referendum will criminalise the thousands of Irish women who travel to Britain each year for an abortion. At a recent ANV meeting (report) speakers denounced the referendum for its abuse of women's rights, and its failure to address the 'more money, more choice' issue. Photos, Video. On Saturday (F16) around 250 people rallied for choice in Dublin. Picture Credit: Workers Solidarity Movement (see their report and photos of the X case march)

Eleven people were arrested during a blockade of Sellafield nuclear reprocessing plant on February 14. Over 150 Irish demonstrators blockaded the roads to the plant for nearly five hours. The group included people who had spent the previous three days blockading Trident nuclear submarine base in Faslane, Scotland. (report from day 2; day 3)The protest began at 6am, it was split in two as Sellafield has two main access roads and a blockade began in each of these areas. At the first access point six demonstrators chained themselves across the road in a snake formation. When the police arrived they were largely outnumbered and the specially trained protest unit "SGI" was not available. They pushed peaceful protesters with excessive force and kicked and threatened people in the lock-on. By 7.30am the blockade had created tailbacks of six or seven miles. The protest lasted until noon. Those arrested were released by 6pm under caution - none were charged. Sellafield Blockade: why it happened. Audio Interviews with Sellafield protestors. |
