Irish Republican News - Newsflash: Statement by 'IRA Army Council' on Eve of Olympics 2012
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The Real IRA and a number of breakaway IRA organisations, including
Republican Action Against Drugs and Oglaigh na hEireann, have come
together to issue the following public statement this evening in the
name of the IRA Army Council.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Following extensive consultations, Irish republicans and a number of
organisations involved in armed actions against the armed forces of the
British crown have come together within a unified structure, under a
single leadership, subservient to the constitution of the Irish
Republican Army.
The leadership of the Irish Republican Army remains committed to the
full realisation of the ideals and principles enshrined in the
Proclamation of 1916.
In recent years the establishment of a free and independent Ireland has
suffered setbacks due to the failure among the leadership of Irish
nationalism and fractures within republicanism. The root cause of
conflict in our country is the subversion of the nation's inalienable
right to self-determination and this has yet to be addressed. Instead
the Irish people have been sold a phoney peace, rubber-stamped by a
token legislature in Stormont.
Non-conformist republicans are being subjected to harassment, arrest
and violence by the forces of the British crown; others have been
interned on the direction of an English overlord. It is Britain, not the
IRA, which has chosen provocation and conflict.
The IRA's mandate for armed struggle derives from Britain's denial of
the fundamental right of the Irish people to national self-determination
and sovereignty - so long as Britain persists in its denial of national
and democratic rights in Ireland the IRA will have to continue to assert
those rights.
The necessity of armed struggle in pursuit of Irish freedom can be
avoided through the removal of the British military presence in our
country, the dismantling of their armed militias and the declaration of
an internationally observed timescale that details the dismantling of
British political interference in our country.

McGlinchey and Price family statement issued on 22 November 2012 in relation to the ongoing imprisonment of Marian Price
We as Marian's family are appalled at the lack of urgency being displayed by the Parole Commissioners who are at present reviewing her case. There is a broadly shared view both within our family and the wider community that a stalling process is being employed to delay a determinant decision. We have all been assured that these Commissioners have the powers to deliver such a verdict and this view has been continually reinforced by the Secretaries of State past and present as well as David Ford's Department o Justice and their respective appointees.
It is now 18 months since Owen Paterson employed mechanisms to revoke a license he claimed Marian was held under. She is now imprisoned for offences dating back almost 40 years. Marian has been bailed by the courts yet since May 2011 has remained in solitary confinement in prison and presently is held in an isolated hospital unit.
As a consequence of her treatment in Maghaberry and Hydebank prison Marian's health has continued to deteriorate. The hospital staff now treating Marian's various illnesses have had an arduous task balancing highly toxic medications with other treatments. This ordeal for all involved should be not be happening. The courts have said Marian should be released on bail and all medical opinion has stated she cannot be treated in an environment that is not conductive to recovery. Marian has been in an 'outside' hospital since June and is held under guard with all the rules and regulations applied to a prison regime. The fact that she has been hospitalised by such a lengthy period without improvement and indeed marked deterioration speaks volumes about the chronic state of her health.
Our family can no longer await the pleasure of those with the power to deal expeditiously with this legal limbo. Marian has been forced to endure the brunt of game playing to the detriment of her mental and physical health. We call on those assigned to adjudicate in this travesty of a so called justice system to act now before a shameful situation becomes irredeemable.
The Parole Commissioners have not complied with the obligations apportioned to them. Marian is entitled to have a hearing within a reasonable time under Article 5 of the European Convention. The Commissioners dealing with Marian's case must discharge their statutory legal duties without interference from any source. Their delay in embarking on the pathway to a resolution of this urgent matter is tilting the scales towards further deterioration in Marian's already serious ill health.
At the same time we call on the state to produce the evidence if it exists so that Marian's legal team can defend her. The Parole Commissioners must swiftly enact the duties charged to them and after such a lengthy process come to a just and decisive ruling.
