Peaceful Protest against Ongoing Use of Shannon Airport by the US Military and CIA Torturers

The monthly vigil to highlight Shannon airport's complicity in war and human rights abuse takes place on Sunday 14th September from 5 to 6pm. Meet at the small roundabout just before the airport. This is an opportunity to protest peacefully against Ireland's shameful disregard for international human rights law, and to remember the men, women and children who are suffering as a result.
