A delegation of Veterans For Peace and CodePINK members converged on the Irish Consulate in San Francisco and met with Vice Consul Michael Treacy on Friday morning March 22, 2019.
At issue was the incarceration in Limerick Jail of two former members of the VFP National Board, Ken Mayers and Tarak Kauff, for their non-violent action at Shannon Airport in Ireland on Sunday, March 17th.
Two members of Veterans For Peace: national board member Marti Guy Downing, member of East Bay VFP chapter 162 and Nadya Connolly Williams, associate member of San Francisco ch. 69, led the delegation, along with seven members of CodePink, Women for Peace.
Both organizations presented the consulate with letters detailing their request for bail to be offered to the incarcerated peace activists, and both groups emphasized the violation to the neutrality of the Republic of Ireland that occurs each time United States war planes land, refuel, and transport troops and weaponry to the on-going wars in the Middle East, and elsewhere.
Stay up to date on Tarak and Ken's case!
