41 Afghan men pleed for Canadian assistance. Day 7 of Hunger Strike. Police crackdown.

Afghani hunger strikers who have occupied St. Patrick's Cathedral, in Dublin, for the past 7 days, are desperately trying to contact the Canadian embassy to provide mediation with the Irish government. The 41 men inside have demanded asylum and an end to deportations to war-torn Afghanistan where they fear for their lives. Talks have repeatedly broken-down and the Irish governement has now turned over control of the situation to the Gardi - the Irish police force. Images have emerged of the men perched in the rafters of the cathedral with ropes around their necks as they desperately try to stave off forcible removal from the cathedral. The situation is now dire. Spokesmen for the group have repeatedly said that they would sooner die now in Ireland than face deportation. The Canadian embassy has been contacted by both the hunger strikers and concerned Canadian medical students who are studying in Ireland. To date, there has been no official response from the embassy or the Department of Foreign Affairs. PLEASE CONTACT DFAIT ASAP! PLEASE CONTACT ALL CANADIAN MEDIA! PLEASE HELP CANADA!

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
