Once again Iranian women are repressed by the mullahs. For demanding even the most basic of rights they are imprisoned. Women are hanged or stoned to death for adultery or sex outside of marriage.

As International Womens Day approachs, think of the women in Iran who face death at the hands of the mullahs.

The full article is at the url below.

Iran women arrested over protest

Iran's authorities have arrested more than 32 women activists protesting outside a courthouse in Tehran. The protesters were showing solidarity with five women on trial for organising a protest last June against laws they say discriminate against women.

The Union of Students in Ireland organised today a protest about the blood ban operated by the Department of Health on Gay men.

It is now widely accepted that the best way to ensure a safe blood supply is to refuse blood from anyone engaged in high risk behaviour - rather than the current situation where hetrosexuals engaged in high risk promiscuous sexual activity will have their blood accepted while gay men involved low risk monogamous relationships will have their blood refused. read full story / add a comment

Liberia is a strange place. It is (correct me if I'm wrong oh do) the only state which was established in the African continent by purchase rather than historical national process [Ethiopia], or colonisation [almost all of the continent] or by subsequent independence from the "metropoles".

The story of Liberia began with the emancipated afro-americans of the mid-19th century and the "black star" chartered by Marcus Garvey to establish a "homeland" which within the idealism of the subsequent DuBois would form the bulwark of a "pan-Africa".

Today Liberia seems remote from the utopia planned by its founders, it is a country associated with horrible tribal warfare & for decades was the playground of mercenaries. But its slow recovery may be helped by the arrival of the first women only contingent of UN peace-keeping troops read full story / add a comment
