Ireland On-Line: Labour calls on Shell to free Rossport Five

Shell must free the Rossport Five by immediately lifting its court injunction against them, it was claimed today.
Labour Party environment spokesman Eamon Gilmore said the Co Mayo men were today spending their 58th day in Dublin’s Cloverhill Prison for simply defending the health and safety of their families and communities.
The Dun Laoghaire TD told the Humbert Summer School in Ballina that these normally law-abiding citizens should not have to sit in jail while real criminals get released early or go free because of lack of evidence.
“Shell should immediately take the initiative and go back to the High Court and waive their injunction and clear the way for the men’s release,” he said.
Mr Gilmore said circumstances in the issue had now changed as work on the construction of the controversial pipeline had stopped.
Natural Resources Minister Noel Dempsey ordered Shell to cease construction because it had not received the necessary permission to weld sections of the inshore pipeline.
“So the men are now in prison arising from a court injunction to stop them obstructing or interfering with the construction of a pipeline which was not itself legitimate from the very beginning,” Mr Gilmore added.
“Shell’s apparent concern that, if released, the men would return and resume their protest is therefore groundless because the very work against which they were protesting has now been stopped.”
Mr Gilmore is one of over 60 speakers at the 19th annual summer school, which commemorates French republican General Jean Joseph Humbert.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
