Attacks on working people are mounting right across Europe. The so-called PIGS (Portugal, Ireland & Italy, Greece, Spain) countries have been to the forefront of these attacks. In Ireland, we have seen €7 billion of cutbacks, seriously damaging public services, including health and education. In Greece, there has been a 10% cut in wages and spending in the public sector, together with an increased retirement age, VAT increases and the freezing of pensions. Portugal has a plan to cut its deficit by €11bn over four years through a crisis tax on wages and cutbacks in public services. The Spanish Parliament has passed cutbacks worth €15bn on top of €50bn already agreed. Italy is due to implement "emergency-cutbacks" of €24 bn. read full story / add a comment

'The conclusions of this report (The Saville Report) are absolutely clear. There is no doubt, there is nothing equivocal, there are no ambiguities. What happened on Bloody Sunday was both unjustified and unjustifiable. It was wrong. On behalf of our country I am deeply sorry" British prime minister David Cameron, Tuesday 15th June 2010 (38 years after the events of Bloody Sunday) On the 30th of January 1972 in Derry, Ireland 26 civil rights demonstrators and bystanders were shot by the British Army Parachute Regiment without warning or provocation. 13 died on the spot and another was mortally wounded. All were unarmed and most were teenagers. No one has ever been brought to justice.

Not sated with the wanton butchery of nine human rights activists aboard the Mavi Marmara and the brutalisation of Huwaida Arraf aboard Challenger 1 - another Gaza flotilla ship bound for Gaza - the Israeli army came back for second helpings last Friday in Bil'in, this time, thankfully, with murder not in mind, just with appetite for wanton arrests, child kidnapping and terrorization. Huwaida Arraf, one of the leading lights from the Free Gaza Movement was again on their target list and she was arbitrarily arrested along with villager; Ashraf Abu Rahmah and an Israeli Anarchist Against the Wall at the peaceful demonstration against the nearby Aparheid- Annexation Wall in Bil'in that morning. read full story / add a comment

Following the massacre aboard the Mavi Marmara, there was no attenuation of Israeli Occupation Forces violence in suppressing the ongoing resistance to the Occupation. At last Friday's peaceful protest in the village of Nabi Saleh violence erupted after Israeli Occupation Forces blocked the marchers from progressing further at the edge of the village and doused them with copious amounts of tear gas, local shabab responded with flurries of thrown rocks and unusual for the Nabi Saleh protests there were no reported injuries. read full story / add a comment

The IPSC has been in contact with the MV Rachel Corrie in the past few minutes. The siege breaking ship is currently 80 miles from Gaza, and they expect to arrive in Gazan territorial waters at around 9 or 10am local time. All on board on the ship were in good spirits, but very anxious as to the actions the Israelis might take. It is currently pitch black at their location and they cannot see very far - there are no lights of other ships on the horizon. At the time of the call, there had been no communication with the Israeli navy. read full story / add a comment
