Spokesman Books

The Russell Foundation has received a nice postcard from Margaretta D’Arcy, who is in Dublin’s Mountjoy Prison for protesting about US military use of Shannon Airport. We sent her some books by Bertrand Russell when she complained about the poor library at Limerick Prison, where she was held previously. The Irish Times published our letter about this on 14 February. Margaretta can now be reached at the address below. *** Margaretta D’Arcy 79759 Dóchas Centre Mountjoy Jail, North Circular Road Dublin 8 Thank you so much for the books which arrived safely at this jail. The women are delighted as of course they know about Bertrand Russell but have not read of him so there is strong [interest] there. Yours in solidarity, Margaretta D’Arcy

Millions of US troops have landed in Shannon Airport in Ireland since 2002 on their war to and from their endless wars. PANA and other groups have organised many demonstrations in protest against the destruction of Irish Neutrality and its integration into the US/EU/NATO military structures since then. The Irish State's commitment to the doctrine of perpetual war reached a whole new level when it imprisoned a 79 year old peace activist , Margaretta D'Arcy, for three months on the 15th of January. PANA, Shannowatch, the Galway Alliance Against War and other groups and individuals have continued to demand Margaretta's release. We need international solidarity, and we need it now. Please email a statement of support to: info@pana.ie and cc to: newsdesk@rte.ie Please pass on this video to all your contacts and to social media. We need the support of progressive media such as Democracy Now. We need you to hold vigils outside Irish Embassies and Consulates. Thanks Roger Co...
