32CSM Day Of Solidarity For Basque Political Prisoners

Members of the 32CSM from around Ireland and across the water in Manchester, were on the streets today to highlight the plight of the protesting Basque political prisoners held in prisons throughout Spain and the Basque country.

Political prisoner Patxi Ruiz has been on hunger and thirst strike from the 11th of May and the situation is deteriorating daily, not only with Patxi's health but with more people joining the protest both inside and outside the prisons.

On the 12th of May political prisoners Dani Pastor, Oskar Barreras and Aitor Cotano began to refuse food, two more prisoners Jon Kepa Preciado and Mikel San Sebastian joined the protest that weekend.
On the 18th of May Oier Andueza and Mikel Izpurua joined the protest.

International pressure needs brought to bare on Spain and we here in Ireland more than anyone given our history regarding prison struggles, know how important this arm of the Basque struggle is.

Everyone here in Ireland who claims to be for human and civil rights needs to do their bit no matter how big or small, to send a message to the Spanish government about their treatment of the Basque people.

Beir Bua.

The FLQ has struggled by all means at their disposal to establish a Socialist Republic in Quebec. As in Ireland, imperialist exploiters want us to believe that this fight is barbaric and futile. But we say loud and clear that it is the imperialists and their system of misery that is barbaric! Let's fight for socialism! Beir Bua.

32CSM Solidarity With Palestine + Criticism Of U.N Security Council

There are two unfolding events of international importance which have a direct bearing on the politics of Ireland particularly as the world tentatively emerges from the Covid-19 pandemic. Firstly, the election of the Twenty-Six County state to a two-year sitting on the United Nations Security Council brings into sharp focus that State’s role in the affairs of International Law particularly relating to National Sovereignty, occupation and post-colonial practices. Secondly, the decision by Israel to strategically ‘delay’ its annexation of sovereign Palestinian territory, with the full complicity of the US Administration, calls into question the very concept of International Law and the credibility of the United Nations itself. The recent dismissal from the Programme of Government of The Control of Economic Activities (Occupied Territories) Bill 2018 bodes ill for any hope that Dublin’s presence on that Council will be marked by a robus...
