Tutu calls for commitment to non-violence in Shell row [Ireland]

Archbishop Desmond Tutu has called for steps to be taken to ensure that all parties in the Corrib gas dispute “demonstrate a commitment to non-violence and the protection of human rights”...Archbishop Tutu made his comments in a statement in which he called for a national and international investigation into the alleged assault on north Mayo farmer Willie Corduff during a protest at the Corrib gas landfall site in Glengad last month. He said Mr Corduff was a small farmer whose opposition to the gas project had always been entirely peaceful and non-violent. Mr Corduff is due to make a statement to the Garda on the alleged incident.
