Urgent: Solitaire Ship Arrived: Hunger Strike Begins

STOP SHELL HELL IN MAYO | 09.09.2008 20:39 | Climate Chaos | Ecology | Ocean Defence | World

The world's biggest pipe-laying ship, the Solitaire, has just arrived in Broadhaven Bay, Mayo. Security has significantly increased with vanloads of police; including special public order units.

Retired local teacher, Maura Harrington, has gone on hunger strike at the gates of the compound. She demands that the Solitaire leave the bay or else her hunger strike will continue. Local fisherman Pat O'Donnell has just been arrested whilst trying to defend his lobster pots that were in the path of the ship. He was in the process of taking legal action against Shell as he has the right to leave his pots there. Meanwhile, internet services in the area have been mysteriously cut which makes getting the news out even more difficult...please spread the word, post on lists and most importantly either get over to Mayo or take solidarity action at home. Shell garages, Irish Embassy, Shell HQ, Allseas Offices (who own solitaire) in London...

Shell can only hold onto the rented Solitaire for a limited period of time and all efforts to hinder its progress will seriously damage Shell's plans. ANY disruption provides us with a real opportunity to delay the project significantly.

The choppy waters of Broadhaven Bay will hopefully aid us in our actions but we need you too!

Solidarity action in London today - Wed

10.09.2008 09:48


Rythms of Resistance are going to play outside the Irish embassy at 3.30 this
Wednesday in support of our friends in Mayo. If you can come along to 17 Grosvenor Place,
London, SW1X 7HR, it would be great.

If you have ever wanted to take some direct action against something that's happening right
now, then you should get to Rossport.

The pipe laying boat (the Solitaire) has now arrived in the bay, so this is truley a crux time in the campaign to stop an untested, unwanted, unjustified gas pipeline. You can find information about what is happening at www.indymedia.ie .

So, if you can come along today at 3:30,

Iggy
