Irish government fears global media coverage of ‘political policing,’ anti-austerity activists say
‘Ireland’s London embassy refused to accept a letter condemning the state’s assault on anti-austerity activists while an RT cameraman filmed on Wednesday. The Irish state is fearful of “political policing” gaining global media attention, campaigners say.
Following three days of “heavy handed” dawn raids on the homes of Irish anti-austerity activists, a solidarity protest was held outside the Irish embassy in London on Wednesday.
The demonstration was organized after 11 Irish anti-water charges campaigners were arrested, detained and questioned by police. The campaigners in question maintain they were arrested on spurious grounds.’
