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.

The Refugee Crisis

Once again there is a major population shift happening around the world. This is not a new thing but something that has been happening for as long as one section of the human race has as the means to exploit another, we in Ireland are no exception to this. Throughout our history we have been subjected to colonisation, exploitation, slavery and genocide that has forced many Irish men, women and children to flee to the four corners of the world seeking refuge or "a better life", but more times than enough what they experienced was death, forced labour, resentment and demonisation. Today we look on with dismay at the attitude of many Irish people to the plight of others coming to our shores seeking refuge or that "better life". Make no mistake that the establishment are using the refugee crisis, that they have created ,to suit their own agenda. When Greece tried to stand up to the EU they found their country flooded with refugees causing more hardship to the Gree...
