Occupation of a youth prison building site
Global IMC via Nantes IMC 20/2/06
Since Monday morning, February 20th 2006, a few dozen people occupy the building site for a youth prison (called EPM in french, standing for Établissement Pénitentiaire pour Mineurs) in Orvault, in the suburbs of Nantes, France.
Part of the activists are occupying trees, in which they have set up four tree-houses. Meanwhile, others gather on the ground in solidarity. By this action, activists intend to prevent the construction of this new prison, since occupied trees are to be cut for the building work to start.
Last October 20th, a first demonstration against the "EPM" had taken place (see report [fr]), during which some 200 participants had already invaded the building site, putting up banners on the highway and pulling out topographic piquets, to slow down the construction process.

International protests against Shell
UK IMC 19/2/06
Stop the Shell Pipeline! Protests have taken place in Ireland, England, Scotland and Sweden to publicise the campaign ahead of the re-opening of Rossport Solidarity Camp, a protest camp supporting a community based struggle against Shell in the West of Ireland. On Friday 17th there was a Rossport Solidarity Demo in Liverpool, a critical mass style bike ride and occupation of Shell garages happened on Saturday in Nottingham [picture reports 1 | 2] and in north London London Rising Tide organised a blockade of a Shell garage which was closed for four hours [reports 1, 2] [Video]. Listen to an audio report recorded at the Rising Tide Solidarity action 2]. All this coincided with a Rossport Solidarity Camp speaking tour of Scotland and England. Meanwhile in Ireland, the doors to Shell's main offices in Dublin were D locked shut, there was also a blockade of a Statoil garage in Cork and two solidarity meetings.
In Rossport Irish residents & supporters continue to obstruct the building of a dangerous gas pipeline. Last year five men from Rossport were jailed for contempt of court for refusing to obey the High Court order not to interfere with the construction of the Corrib gas pipeline. They were expected to be back at the High Court also on Friday 17th, potentially facing more time in jail. In November '05 the Rossport Five were released after 94 days in jail.

Shell in Nigeria, the very real, very grim multinational robber baron
by Tom McLoughlin Sydney IMC 24/2/06
No wonder there is civil strife in Nigeria in the news today. Most oil spills in the Niger delta are likely to be caused by Shell says this Greenpeace researcher at:
http://www.newint.org/issue256/shell.htm
Here is also a background page with information about the global multinational Shell, some of it original material generated by ecology action sydney.
One aspect about Shell which I gathered below always chill's me: An interview with a Nigerian refugee I made several years ago, with link below, who explained that when faulty oil pipes break and flood local towns a gush of oil up to 3 feet high would just gush through a door up to the window ledges. No penalty, no prevention, no human rights to a safe home from the petroleum dictatorship in that part of the world (the Niger delta).
Similarly crucial agricultural lands for poor people are destroyed with oil floods as a result of negligence and corruption. No compensation or remediation:

Risdon Prison Riot "Legitimate"
by Stacy Sydney IMC 22/2/06
The defendant was a ring-leader, if not the leader, of the inmates involved. He was the main protagonist and was instrumental in planning what occurred and recruiting others to become involved...
The explanation proffered for the rampage is concern about prison conditions and on the information put before the Court it must be said that those concerns were legitimate and the defendant, in particular, had reason for concern. However, legitimate as those concerns may have been, they cannot? justify the outrageous conduct that ensued.
