Solidarity with the Burmese people in Galway A poignant and moving event at the Spanish Arch last Saturday 6th October – Galway was one of the 100 cities taking part in the solidarity events round the world. There was a gathering of artists and activists in response to a call from Sunny Jacobs – author of Stolen Time, her account of the 15 years she spent on Death Row in a US prison after being wrongly convicted for murder.The gathering included Little John Nee, Margaretta D’Arcy, John Arden, Peter Pringle, Angela Byrne and her daughter Beatrice and son Barney, Finn Arden, and a wonderful trio of busking musicians with a harp. Flowers were given out to hundreds of Saturday afternoon passers-by to throw into the river. Red Fuchsia (sometimes called “God’s Tears) floated downstream to join the tears of hope of the Burmese people. |
