*Statement from Derry IPSC*
In light of recent events & some uncertainty around our direction & presence, we want to take a moment to reassure our community: Derry IPSC is still here.
(Continued in comments)
As an Italian, as a European, I remind my German friends: you produced Nazism, as we Italians and Spaniards produced fascism. It already brought Europe to ruins once.
You are responsible for what happens in your country. CHECK YOUR POLICE. Things are spiraling out of control.
Join our solidarity swim for Gaza tomorrow! Sunday 24th August at 1pm at Burrow Beach between Sutton and Howth, to swim, paddle, wade or just splash in solidarity.

“A significant proportion of manifested trucks are turned away with vital supplies. The world needs to know... This has to stop.”
Mary Robinson and @HelenClarkNZ witness the devastating reality at the closed Rafah border with Gaza.
🇵🇸 We hope to have 50-100 people in #GuildhallSquare at 3pm this Saturday.
A #genocide is underway in #Gaza.
The world is crying out for it to end. We cannot let them outlaw nonviolent direct action as a form of #protest.
🍉 9/8/25 will see people from across Ireland gathering at 3pm in Derry’s Guildhall Sq. Members of #GlobalMovementoGazaIreland will join #DerryIPSC & others who have been protesting against the #genocide in #Gaza & the proscription of #PalestineAction under the Terrorism Act.
🍉 They continued: “At least 500 people will gather in #London holding signs in support of Palestine Action, an action which (in theory) could attract a six month prison sentence. There will be similar protests in #Glasgow, #Edinburgh, #Liverpool & #Cardiff.
🇵🇸 So too the early morning raids of family homes, all too familiar in working class parts of Derry, are now happening to the families of #Palestinian#solidarity#activists across the water” said the Derry IPSC spokesperson.
🍉 While internment officially ended, for over 30 years we’ve had what the CAJ in #Belfast & the International Commission of Jurists in #Geneva have described as “internment by remand”. That misuse of remand is now being used against pro-Palestine protesters in #England.
🍉 “Several Derry protesters who have defied bans on expressing support for Palestine Action were amongst the 23 people charged over action at #Raytheon’s Springtown facility with the same kind of offences as the #Filton23, who are being held in custody awaiting trial in England.
🇵🇸 This city has a proud record of #nonviolent direct action against arms companies whose weapons are used in Israeli war crimes. So we could not stand by & see others imprisoned for similar actions.
🍉 A spokesperson for #Derry IPSC said “As people in Gaza are being starved, the Labour government continues to arm Israel, criminalising those who are trying to stop the genocide.

@CGE letter to the @IrishTimes today calling for Irish government action, not protests, to end the #genocide in Gaza. No US military use of Shannon, or Central Bank sale of Israeli war bonds, or trade with Israel. End all state complicity with genocide. #stopthegenocide
@CGE letter to today's Irish @IrishTimes calling for government action, not protests to end the genocide in Gaza. No US military use of Shannon airport, no Israeli warplanes in Irish airspace, no Central Bank sale of Israeli "war bonds", stop all trade with Israel.
Yesterday we marched from the Central Bank to the Famine Memorial to show the parallels between Ireland’s own history and what is happening in Palestine. We condemn the Central Bank continuing to fundraise for apartheid Israel's genocide of Palestinians.
