“If Bloody Sunday had been limited to a few troopers and their commander, why was the truth so long stonewalled and the cover-up so doggedly continued? Why did the families of the victims have to wait so long for the truth? Meanwhile the families of many other victims of unjustified shoot-to-kill, plastic bullet, or collusion murders, continue to wait for justice.”

In mid-June the Irish Congress of Trade Unions Public Services Committee voted to accept the ‘Croke Park deal’. ‘Social partnership’, presumed dead and buried when the government unilaterally imposed pay cuts on public sector workers in the December ’09 budget, was revived and given a new lease of life.

But this is ‘social partnership’ with a difference. Instead of the union leadership believing that ‘partnership’ gives them some input into government policy (as they have wrongly thought for the past 20 years), all they can now offer in its defence is that this is the “least worst deal” and that “it’s better to be inside the tent than outside.” read full story / add a comment

Yassamine Mather writes on the anniversary of the 2009 rigged elections in Iran. She illustrates how Imperialist sancvtions are stepped up and yet the reformist leadership offers no way forward against either the Imperialist threat or the Theocracy. Full text at link.

The UNs resolution on further sanctions against Iran - expanding the arms embargo and barring the country from sensitive activities such as uranium mining - was voted through on June 9. The UN measures are a diluted version of the US proposals, but they still allow high-seas inspections of vessels believed to be ferrying banned items to Iran, while 40 categories have been added to the list of people and groups subject to travel restrictions and financial sanctions. The EU has promised to impose its own extra measures, targeting the energy, trade and transport sectors.

Demonstrations were held across Iran on the June 12 anniversary of last year’s rigged presidential elections - despite a heavy security presence and the cowardly back-stabbing of the so-called ‘reformist opposition’. read full story / add a comment

Iranian film maker Jafar Panahi, who was released after three months in Iran’s notorious Evin prison, protests that at the moment he has little hope of making another film - all he can do is film one in his head. But, he says defiantly: “I will have to make a film - that is my life.”

“I started a hunger strike”, he says, “when one night they took me for questioning and the interrogators asked: ‘What is the name of your film?’ I thought they were referring to the film I was making when they arrested me in my house on March 1. So I replied: ‘That film isn’t finished yet, so it hasn’t got a name.’ They said: ‘No, no, we are asking about the film you are making in prison in your cell.’ read full story / add a comment
