The Irish artists Dylan Tighe and Donal OKelly have drafted a letter to Irish Times, to protest against the outrageous jailing of artist Margaretta DArcy for protesting against use of Shannon Airport by the US Military. As Irish artists we are deeply disturbed and outraged at the jailing of artist Margaretta DArcy for protesting against the use of Shannon Airport by US warplanes. This grossly inappropriate and shameful treatment of a 79-year old woman suffering from Parkinsons disease is made all the more shocking when we consider that the state has refused to jail any of the politicians or bankers responsible for the near collapse of the state, yet seeks to jail an elderly artist for standing up for integrity and human rights . We declare ourselves in complete solidarity with her actions, applaud her bravery in a time of tremendous cowardice, and call for her immediate release.
