In Ennis district court today Thursday 13 November, Judge Mangan adjourned a charge of obstructing/impeding an airport fire officer, brought against the former UN peacekeeper and anti-torture campaigner, Edward Horgan, of Castletroy, Co. Limerick. Having heard that Horgan’s summons cited the wrong act and did not come as stated from the Director of Public Prosecutions, the case was adjourned to 8 January. Horgan went to the airport on 18 June 2008, on a tip-off that Learjet N54PA was due to arrive from Florida via Newfoundland. Flight logs showed that N54PA had landed several times, including 3 June 2008, at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. Horgan walked into the security office to demand that the aircraft be searched for prisoners, and its crew questioned about recent and past activities, and insisted on remaining while the plane was being refuelled in order to confirm whether Gardai searched the aircraft or not. read full story / add a comment

What next for the Campaign, now that the new Corrib Gas Forum set up by Eamon Ryan and Éamon Ó Cuiv will not “revisit existing consents and permissions given to the project”? What next, when "Governments around the world are waking up to the reality that natural resources are soveriegn assets and that it is entirely within the rights of the state to readjust taxation and royalty deals in times of windfall revenues or supply concerns" (Michael McCaughan, The Price of our Souls, Gas, Shell and ireland) read full story / add a comment

On the day that 1983 Long Kesh Escapee Pól Brennan will go to court in the USA to fight for his release, West Tyrone Ógra Shinn Féin have sent a message of solidarity and called for his “immediate freedom so that he can fight his deportation freely and fairly.” Pól Brennan has been imprisoned in US jails from January this year, because when he was stopped at a routine road block, his work permit had expired. Pól is not undocumented and has a work authorisation permit in the system since 2006, but he has neither received or been refused the permit. What began as a simple bureaucratic misunderstanding was soon escalated by the US Homeland Security who has also activated a deportation order for Pól. This completely ignores a US court ruling in 2000 which allowed Pól hearings for political asylum which are still ongoing. read full story / add a comment

The images in the church are just a selection from the overall work, which are the the efforts of a number of photographers, including some serving and former soldiers in Iraq and beyond. Recent images taken in the middle east etc are included, but we will not display the more graffic ones in the church, such as the aftermaths of suicide bombings etc. More can be seen on: www.zoriah.net www.flickr.com/photos/libertypics read full story / add a comment

On Monday 10 November US a US Air force executive jet, reg no 40109, a learjet 35 or a C 21A in military terminology, was being refuelled at Shannon airport, while being protected by a special garda escort. We dont yet know who the passengers were, but such luxuary transports are not for one star privates, they are normally reserved for one star generals and upwards. Some of these generals have been guilty of war crimes in Afghanistan and Iraq. It is most likely that the Gardai did not search the aircraft to ascertain if any war criminals were on board. read full story / add a comment
