Daytripping from Portumna in the Vibrant City

category galway | anti-war / imperialism | feature author Thursday May 20, 2004 22:59author by Indymedia Editorial Group - Indymedia Ireland Report this post to the editors

The Galway 'Mary Kelly Support Group' do their stuff !

Mary Kelly, an Irish nurse and mother of four, peacefully disarmed a USAF warplane in Shannon on Jan 29th 2003 by taking a hatchet to the nose-cone installation. Having failed to convince a jury to convict her on June 30th 2003 Mary now faces prosecution on June 15th by the Irish State for acting according to the dictates of the Nuremburg Convention. Supporters have been active in many cities around Ireland. The following is a brief roundup of the tremenduous support this brave and principled activist is receiving.

From the Newswire: Report from Tommy D:

"Last Saturday more powerful support for St. Mary was evidenced at the Mary Kelly information stall in Shop St, when the Galway 'Mary Kelly Support Group' did their stuff, from 10.30 AM to 5.45 PM, giving out 1,000 leaflets on her plight.

The peak moment of the day was when five preteen/teenage girls, daytripping from Portumna in the Vibrant City, offered to distribute the leaflets to passing pedestrians, when appraised of Mary's disarming of the war plane.

Yet another primo moment was when a guy who stopped at our stall affirmed that he "was against her attack on the plane last year, now I'm for it."

The Ireland Palestine Solidarity Group were out in strength commemorating Nakhbah Day (the planned ethnic cleansing of their land in 1948 by the Zionists) centering their activity around the stall.

Galway Alliance Against War also gave themselves an outing and didn't stint their support for Mary, with one of their activists, dressed as one of the tortured of Abu Ghraib prison, eliciting strong condemnation of the American human rights abuses in Iraq.

To boot, an activist from Galicia, did his stuff for Mary as well. Fair play, Jose !

This Saturday, along with all Saturdays leading up to her trial, another stall is planned. What about activists in Cork, Limerick, Kilkenny, Dublin, etc doing something similiar???? Now is not the time for fiddling and farting about when, as it were, Mary is about to burn."

Fairview Against the War, MAMA and Global Women's Strike will be holding a stall in Ennis every Saturday from 12:30pm in Ennis until Mary's trial on June 15th.

See Mary Kelly's website for more information

Maybe a bill for costs? Community punishment..stripped and flogged through the streets of Ennis for the crime of Cosmic Stupidity? If you take on the State you will always lose.

Why not spend time organising a REAL revolution then you will achieve your aim and topple the corrupt government of Berties Yankee loving running dogs...

Power to the people!

"...the dictates of the Nuremburg Convention"

Nuremburg's an interesting precedent, especially with Uncle Joe Stalin helping to guide the proceedings.

Big on noise and hot air. Unable in reality to convince more than 3000 people to get to Shannon to oppose Butcher Bush...

Maybe you should apply your collective talents to supporting Bouncing Bertie in the next election (guarantees Enda K a landslide victory)...
