"On Saturday (May 15) the true nature of the Twenty-Six County state was once again exposed as the Garda violently attacked those who dare to oppose NAMA, the bank bailouts and the savage programme of cutbacks. "The Garda response to éirígí’s protest was not the result of an operational blunder or lack of experience. The decision to attack peaceful protesters was both premeditated and well planned. And more importantly is was highly political. The Dublin government have clearly decided that the emerging resistance to their right wing economic policies must be crushed before it grows stronger." read full story / add a comment

Last night, Israeli Occupation Forces raided the West Bank village of Bil'in, the home of noted activist Ashraf Abu Rahma was targeted this time and Ashraf - arrested last Friday by the IOF but released - was their quarry. Bil'in, after five years of frequent terrorising invasions by Israeli forces, has a well honed warning system and the villagers were alerted as the invasion soldiers mustered on the edge of the village. Ashraf's attempted rearrest follows hard on the heels of the arrests of Bil'in's stalwart videographer Haitham al-Katib and farmer Waji Bornat at last Friday's weekly protest against the nearby Apartheid -Annexation Wall. Ashraf managed to evade the raiding soldiers this time but he's now faced with the hard dilemma of seeing the notorious Shabak "internal security" this morning or else toughening it out and triggering further raids. Ashraf's attempted arrest apart, after a four week hiatus, it's feared last night's proceedings is a harbinger for worst to come. read full story / add a comment

On the 21st April in Ballina Circuit Court, Shell to Sea campaigner Niall Harnett was sentenced to 6 months in jail, for an assault on Garda Hugh Egan on Glengad beach. Defence barrister Leo Mulrooney summed it up, without correction from the judge, that the incident was “as close to a technical offence as possible”. Essentially Niall Harnett was found guilty of assault of a Garda for putting his hand on Garda Egan while Garda Egan was pulling out of a fellow protestor (myself), whose leg was caught on Shell’s illegally constructed fencing. At a previous appeal sitting of the Circuit Court, Mr Harnett had been given 240 hours community service in lieu of the 6 month jail sentence, however he refused to do the community service, and so received the 6 months. read full story / add a comment
