Amnesty International's annual report on the use of the Death Penalty has been published today, and serves a reminder that China, Iran and the USA continue to execute the most of their prisoners. In 2005 over 2,148 people were executed in 22 countries, of whom 1770 were in China, 94 in Iran and 60 in the USA. 94% of those killed were in China, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the USA. An additional 5,186 people were sentenced to death so far in 2006, 8 children have been executed in Iran, they join the statistics of underage offenders executed since 2000, the complete figure being 26, the majority of whom were executed in the USA. ___________________________________________________________________ read full story / add a comment

Although I have been really busy recently, I though had agreed to be pencilled in to speak at a conference in Armagh city {this from Feb early March} for April 25th. The conference is under the title of ‘ Partners In Pluralism’. I am unsure if invitation only, but I specifically made a point of pencilling this in as it draws in many strands of our local situation, and so may afford those in attendance a better understanding of various issues as we attempt to move forward. Should be interesting. Link {November Diary} attached - details such topics ranging from racism to education, from empowerment to resources and other local specifics etc. read full story / add a comment

This is a 2 part drama documentary with the first showing on RTE 1: Sun 23rd at 9:35 pm and part 2 on RTE 1: Mon 23rd at 9:35 pm This promises to be a reasonably realistic account of how a major accident would unfold in Sellafield and the reactions in Ireland by the people and the government. The first we would hear of it would come as a newsflash over the radio and it poses the question to us all, as to how would we react and what would we do. We should remember of course there are many precedents for accidents at Sellafield and in particular the most serious was the Windscale fire on Oct 10th 1957 which spread radioactive Iodine over the UK and NorthEast Ireland where it has been suggested the high rate of Down Syndrome in kids born around then in that area, may be related. read full story / add a comment

the Bööög, is one of Zurich's treasures, and at the height of that city's Spring festival "Sechseläuten" or 6 bells, the 3.5 meter statue of a snowman whose head is stuffed with explosives is set alight. A group termed by Swiss press as extremist , calling itself the "1. Mai – Strasse Frei" (loosely translated as "Reclaiming the Streets on May Day"), is reported as sending a letter to the Swiss media claiming responsibility for the theft, saying the 3.5-metre tall snowman "had had enough of putting its head on the line for capitalists". read full story / add a comment

There was a well attended meeting held last night in Dublin where some of those arrested were present along with representatives from Anarchist Prisoner Solidarity, Anarchist Youth, Revolt Video, Peace Network and other campaigns. There was a lot of discussion of how best to help those arrested at Baldonnel and future activities to support the 4 ( Details will be released very soon) The legal support team who have been monitoring the recent events at Baldonnel have appealed for people who were present at Baldonnel to contact them with their accounts of the events. It is important that people write up their experiences as quickly as possible while events are still fresh in peoples minds Lots of film footage is currently being scrutinised by the Legal Support Team and we are aware that there is more footage and photos taken that day that may be of use in mounting a substantial defence for the 4. Would people please forward their statements etc. asap to: weknowitwasyou -at- riseup -dot- net Released On Behalf of Anarchist Prisoner Solidarity read full story / add a comment

For the past 11 weeks our Department of Education and Science and one of our Health Authorities have been in the High court spending millions of taxpayers’ money fighting to ensure that a young boy with special needs no longer gets the education that has been of great benefit to him over the last two years. I do not have to picture the spectacle, I know it well. read full story / add a comment
