Marian Price was arrested on May 13th 2011 and charged with encouraging support for an illegal organisation. The charge arose from an Easter Rising commemoration in Derry city cemetery the previous month. On a blustery day, she had reached up and held the script from which a masked man was reading the Real IRA’s “Easter Message”.

One particularly shocking video made public by the Wikileaks site shows US soldiers in Iraq shooting down a group of civilians and then shooting up a passing van that tried to help. One of the injured is shown crawling away only to be run over by an American vehicle. It's footage like this as well as leaked diplomatic documents that so angers the US establishment and the imperialists who run the US state. They want revenge on those who expose their true face.

Civil rights campaigners have scored a significant victory in scuppering a DUP/Sinn Fein plan to severely curtail the ability of workers’ and community organisations to fight job losses and spending cuts.

A proposal demanding 37-days notice of any outdoor rally of more than 50 people has been abandoned.

The measure would have had huge implications for anti-racism and anti-war campaigns, as well as for unions and community groups.

The change was announced by Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness on August 12th.

The new Criminal Justice (Amendment) Bill passed by the Dail on the 10th July is another attack on civil liberties by the Fianna Fail/Green government.
