200 people take part in emergency protest in solidarity with the MV Saoirse and Tahrir

Tonight around 200 people took part in an emergency protest, supported by the Irish Anti War Movement & Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign in solidarity with the MV Saoirse and Tahrir intercepted by the Israeli navy 48 miles from Gaza.

Speakers at the protest included Raymond Deane, Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign, ULA TDs Richard Boyd Barrett & Joe Higgins, Sinn Fein TD Aengus Ó Snodaigh, Claudia Saba, Irish Ship to Gaza, Labour TD Patrick Nulty and a representative from SIPTU.

Richard Boyd Barrett TD called on the Irish government to intervene immediately and to demand the safety of passengers aboard the MV Saoirse and an end to the illegal blockade of Gaza. People Before Profit/United Left Councillor Hugh Lewis from Ballybrack in Dublin is one of a number of activists on board the MV Saoirse.

Speaking at the protest he said: "The plight of the ordinary innocent people living in Gaza is becoming more and more difficult every day as a result of the Israeli blockade. Even the UN agency responsible for food aid has said the situation is rapidly becoming an emergency. It is not a publicity stunt to respond to this".

"The international community is ignoring the situation and the Irish government need to get off the fence on this issue."

Support the Irish Ship to Gaza and the second Freedom Flotilla!
The Freedom Flotilla II, including the Irish Ship to Gaza and the Mavi Marmara attacked in open waters last year by the Israelis with the loss of nine lives, sets sail for Palestine on or about the 28 June, with desperately needed supplies and equipment.

We are calling this demonstration to demand the Flotilla be given unhindered access to the beleaguered people of Gaza and to focus the public and media attention on the mission, so as to help deter any repetition of last year's attack.

Assemble: Tuesday 28 June 6pm at Central Bank, March to Israeli Embassy, Pembroke Rd.

Book of condolences and major protest for Blair visit

 

IRISH ANTI-WAR MOVEMENT

Press Release - August 26th

-ANTI-WAR MOVEMENT TO OPEN BOOK OF CONDOLENCES THIS WEEKEND FOR VICTIMS OF BLAIR'S WARS.

-MAJOR MOBILISATION UNDERWAY FOR PROTEST DURING BLAIR DUBLIN VIST

The Irish Anti-War Movement (IAWM) has announced it will open a book of condolences this weekend in Dublin for the victims of Tony Blair's military actions and foreign policies in Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine.

The book of condolences will be gathered in Dublin's city centre in the coming week as part of the preparations for a major demonstration on Saturday September 4th during Mr Blair's visit to Dublin to launch his memoirs.

The book of condolences will be located near Eason's, as this is where Mr Blair is due to hold the book-signing event on the morning of September 4th.

The demonstration on that day will assemble at 11.00am at the Garden of Remembrance, Parnell Square, before marching to Eason's where Tony Blair's book signing event will be taking place.

The protest will focus on Tony Blair's key role in launching the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq that have claimed hundreds of thousands of lives and devastated both countries.

It will also focus on Blair's complicity - both as Prime Minister and now as EU envoy to the Middle East - with the war crimes and human rights abuses committed by Israel against the Palestinians.

The protest will also highlight the continued complicity of the Irish government with the wars launched by former US president George Bush and Mr Blair - in allowing US troops to use Shannon airport and through the direct involvement of a small number of Irish troops in the Afghan conflict.
