Protests in solidarity with the Libyan people

February 17th saw an historic day in Libya for the fight against 41 years, the longest current dictatorship in the world, of Gaddaffi rule.

People gathered in Dublin at the Spire in solidarity with the people of Libya who were being repressed with the greatest of brutality. There were many speakers in both Arabic and English. Michael Bermingham spoke in both languages with support and solidarity while 16 year old Rukiyah Hamed, daughter of Dublin South Independent election candidate Buhidma Hussein Hamed, articulated her concerns. Dr. Fatima Hamoush outlined the brutality of the Gaddaffi regime and outlined why so many have come out in support of the protests.

More protests are being planned and another two took place on both saturday and Sunday at the Spire.
