The Prisoner Solidarity Group are calling on all republicans,

socialists and anyone that believes in the protection of human rights

to come out and stand with us on a white line picket on June 30th in

solidarity with ALL republican prisoners and to help highlight the

injustices that our political prisoners face.

In Maghaberry striking republican prisoners are living in conditions

reminiscent of the H-Block’s in the 1980s and face daily forced strip

searches at the hands of the loyalist prison screws, a degrading and

unnecessary act which only serves to rob the prisoners of their

dignity and pride. Many of these prisoners are ‘interned’ without

crime or trial, and those that are brought before the courts are

trialed in diplock courts where the word of British agents is enough

to secure a guilty verdict. The 6 county Justice Minister David Ford

has refused UN doctors entry into the prison and also has ignored the

pleas of the Norths top criminologists to release Marian Price due to

her ailing mental and physical health.

 In Lithuania Michael Campbell

is serving a 12 year sentence in the notorious Lukiskes Prison with no

attempt made by the Department of Foreign Affairs to repatriate him so

he can serve his sentence in an Irish prison where family can have

easy access to visits. This is a politically motivated decision and

exposes the nature of state oppression against republicans.

If you believe in the protection of human rights then we are calling

on you to come out and stand with us on Saturday June 30th in Cork

city. Only through large unified protests can we make our voices be

heard. Bígí linn.

BEIR BUA
