Over 20 IPSC activists spent their lunchbreak protesting at the EU offices on Thursday 13th December, protesting against the ongoing siege of Gaza. The EU closed their offices in response. After an hour of maintaining the protest, an EU official met with the IPSC secretary who handed over a letter of protest. 500 leaflets were handed out to members of the general public who passed by the offices. read full story / add a comment

Seomra Spraoi is a large and vibrant social centre, just off Capel St in Dublin. It is used by small campaign and informal groups for meetings, workshops and is also a place where arts, crafts and children's activities take place. For a community of people engaged in seeking positive social change, it is a point of contact, a source of resources and information and a base for skills and knowledge sharing. Recently, the gardai have succeeded in having the place temporarily shut down, presenting the collective that runs the centre with a complex legal and bureaucratic situation. Maybe you can be of some assistance. read full story / add a comment

Well apparently they weren't all Grannies, ......but they were definitely ragin' in the best nonviolent sense and it certainly was an interesting demographic that kept knocking on the London Catholic Worker (LCW) door the previous night. Knocking for a meeting that was down at the Catholic Worker cafe. So my humble role of redirecting more militant traffic in the direction of the last fine tuning meeting remained constant. read full story / add a comment

- Stephanie Clare's photo of 11 year old Ghulam a girl in Afghanistan sitting next to her 40 year old husband on their arranged wedding day ( as in the marriage was arranged against her wishes - not that they should really come into it anyway - your 11 year old wants to get married to anyone - you say no ) won the 2007 UNICEF photo award today at a ceremony in Berlin (Europe). Many people will remember that one of the most admired & thought provoking photographs in the late 20th century was also of an Afghani girl Sharbat Gula who at 12 years of age was photographed by Steve Mc Curry and made th egfront cover of "National Geographic" to celebrate the end of the Taliban in 1995. It moved us all to take action. The americans went into to sort it out. The rest is the history of how the Taliban came back. read full story / add a comment

It has been announced that the Salthill Air Show for 2008 has been cancelled. Organisers attribute the cancellation to difficulties in raising commercial sponsorship, something they blame on the campaigning of the Galway Alliance Against War (GAAW). Potential business sponsors, evidently, do not wish to be associated with something as controversial as this air show. read full story / add a comment

Catastrophe faces our planet because of climate change. A whole number of studies, reports and films such as Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth have highlighted this fact. In February of this year, a report written by the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) showed that temperatures could rise as much as 6.4OC by the end of this century. Already climate change has resulted in the doubling of category four and five storms in the last 30 years, while arctic ice has thinned by 40% in the last 40 years. While climate change effects our planet as a whole, it is the world’s workers and poor who will bear the brunt. If major action is not taken to halt climate change then 600 million more people in sub-Saharan Africa will go hungry from collapsing agriculture, 400 million more will be exposed to malaria and 200 million people will be forced to migrate due to rising sea levels, according to the United Nations Development Programme...... read full story / add a comment

"Ho, ho, ho - have some bloody Coke" Murder, torture, kidnapping and illegal detention by violent paramilitaries, frequently aided by bottling plant management, has been the tragic reality for Coca-Cola's Colombian employees for 2 decades now. Members of the SINALTRAINAL trade union ordinary employees carry a death sentence around their necks. Yet an appeal from Javier Correra, president of their union - “We want justice. We want people to know the truth about what is going on in Colombia against Coke workers. Now that you know, will you please help us?” - has not fallen on deaf ears. read full story / add a comment

The Rites of Passage religious exhibit is currently closed, which was mesmeric in it's disection of the hypnosis of world religion, if one could avoid the big screens the bits of the Nag Hammadi Gospel and huge Buddhist Mandalas were worth a visit. '100 aspects of the Moon' is the current exhibition and every single print has a bit of moon in it- on Helmets, behind women (!) and accomnpanying dark and scary warriors. You could say there are many moons. The Chester Beatty is located in the Grounds of Dublin Castle and is far better than the auction house that comprises the State apartments, where Sarkozy will be welcomed to persuade the unsuae celts about his Reform Treaty.[2008] read full story / add a comment

I know its old news but it is actually interesting that this story was not screaming at us when it occured. I guess this plane came through Shannon Airport a few times.............. A Florida based Gulfstream II jet aircraft # N987SA crash landed on September 24, 2007 after it ran out of fuel over Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula it had a cargo of several tons of Cocaine on board now documents have turned up on both sides of the Atlantic that link this Cocaine Smuggling Gulfstream II jet aircraft # N987SA that crashed in Mexico to the CIA who used it on at least 3 rendition flights from Europe and the USA to Guantanamo's infamous torture chambers between 2003 to 2005. read full story / add a comment

Today a joint ‘Rabbit’ from the Animal Rights Action Network turned up outside of Brown Thomas’s flagship store on Grafton Street to celebrate the long awaited campaign victory of the up market department store going fur free from February 2008. Joined by other ARAN members the giant ‘rabbit’ uncorked a bottle of champagne to crowds of onlookers whilst cheering ‘Brown Thomas Now Fur Free’ another member also held a sign saying the same! Luckily the campaign event on Dublin’s busiest shopping street was being covered by Ireland’s top media outlets. read full story / add a comment

I was a bit taken aback to find that their is no coverage of this case on indymedia. Well here are the basics with some links, make of it what you will. Bilal Hussein was employed by Associated Press to photograph events in Iraq. With no previous experience of photography, he went on to win a Pulitzer Prize for his efforts. read full story / add a comment
