Anti War Banshees Arrested at Shannon Airport

Spent Up To Four Hours Undetected Beside Runway Reciting Names of US and Iraqi Dead

From The Newswire: In the early hours of Halloween, October 31st, two peace activists dressed as banshees were arrested in the confines of Shannon Airport. Zelda Jeffers and Elaine O’Sullivan, of the pacifist Catholic Worker Movement, were discovered by airport security after constructing a shrine to the war dead near the runway. The two women, wearing Iraqi mourning dress, were discovered reading out the names of U.S. military and Iraqi dead.

Elaine O’Sullivan stated: “Many of the over one thousand U.S. military dead personnel killed in Iraq would have passed through Shannon Airport on the way to their deaths. We remember them and the Iraqi people they have killed. We name Shannon Airport as a place of death – a cog in the U.S. war machine carrying out an illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq. We have come to Shannon on Halloween, the eve of ‘All Souls Day’ and the U.S. elections, to remember the dead and non-violently defend the living”.


UPDATE: VoiceMail & PhotoPhone Reports from a Runway Shrine for the Dead




Elaine & Zelda set up a Halloween shrine near the Shannon runway in a sometimes tearful reading of the names US/Coalition and Iraqi war dead....
