Irish Anti-War Movement

www.irishantiwar.org

The Irish Anti War movement condemns the killing of innocent demonstrators and the violent suppression of protests on the streets of Tehran, Shiraz and other cities and notes with concern the escalation of the abuse of human rights in Iran. In addition to the dead and wounded, countless people have been arrested and severe restrictions have been imposed on travel.

Following the deaths of at least 10 demonstrators over last weekend whose only crime was to question the results of the recent election, the supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei has warned against further demonstrations.

One of those killed, Neda Soltani, the young woman whose death was captured on YouTube, has come to symbolise the rebellion and the courage of those prepared to protest for the right to democratic change. Yet the authorities banned a scheduled memorial service at the Nilofar mosque in Tehran’s Abbas Abad district, in case it became a rallying point for the opposition.

The Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign / Irish Anti War Movement Eircom-Amdocs campaign is drawing to a close. We will be handing in the petition this Friday 26th July @ 4pm at the Eircom Offices, the intersection of St John's Rd West and Military Road, down near Hueston Station (see map).

Eircom are actively considering awarding a multi-million euro contact for a new computer billing system to a multinational consortium, which includes Israeli company Amdocs. Amdocs is an Israeli based company, employing about 4000 people in Israel, and admits on its own web-site that most of its employees serve in the Israeli army. For the consortuim that includes Amdocs to recieve this contract could be a major boost to the Israeli economy.

On the other hand, if Eircom refuse to give this contract to the consortium that includes Amdocs, it would be a powerful boost to the International campaign to boycott Israel because of its treatment of the Palestinian people.

We appeal to all those appalled by the recent Israeli massacare in Gaza and who wish to support the suffering people of Palestine, to sign this petition and circulate it widely for others to sign.

A public meeting will take place in Ballyshannon, Co. Donegal on Monday 19th January in Dorrian's Hotel. The purpose of the meeting is to bring together people who want to provide support to the Palestinian people. Speakers from the IPSC and others will be outlining how we can provide practical support and show solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Palestine.

The meeting will start at 8pm, with speakers and information stalls to provide people with the opportunity to get involved on whatever level they feel comfortable with and to give people the opportunity to merely find out what is happening in Palestine and how we can through our actions stop the slaughter there.

All are welcome to attend this meeting, it is not just for those already involved in groups or organisations but for all people who cannot stand idly by while the people of Palestine are attacked but who want to do something to help them and try to transform the situation.
