KITSONIAN SINN FEIN COUNTER-REVOLUTIONARY COLLABORATION

Part of the Kitsonian manual of British Dirty War in Ireland, includes using the courts and detention system, as part of the process of criminalizing and isolating Irish POWs in Maghaberry, from their communities' struggle on the outside, and also isolating them from their leadership within the prison system. This was part of what led up to the death of 10 hunger strikers previously, but yet again Sinn Fein are also abusing the current POWs, for political expediency. The admission recently of events explained, in part of the statement from IRPWA below, demonstrates this. It also demonstrates, that the loyalist DUP are politicizing the treatment of POWs, while Sinn Fein, who are also part of the Stormont Junta, appear to be enabling it. Juan Mendez of the UN, needs to be contacted, regarding this breach of Human Rights, by both Sinn Fein and the DUP Junta. Sinn Fein seems to have a very short memory, about the treatment of Irish POWs, or perhaps yet again, they would prefer airbrush all of these facts, from the current political landscape, with their British illusion of normalization.


"During meetings with Tom McGonigle he has, like so many others, largely agreed with our analysis; he even went so far as to state: “…there is political interference by the DUP”, and that, “…the situation is political”. David Ford, and a spokeswoman for the Ombudsman’s office, further declared that there are Staff working within the gaol that are directly answering to the NIO and the Secretary of State (Irish News 17-02-15) and not to the Jail Administration. Contextually, these are euphemisms for MI5. Neither could answer as to whether they had oversight of such staff. Such recognition of MI5 interference should certainly have led to the Ombudsman’s office issuing a public statement of outrage, yet Tom McGonigle seems indifferent. As a consequence, Republican prisoners in Roe House are being persecuted by faceless ‘staff’. The presence of these unaccountable NIO/MI5 personnel, and their malign influence, has been ignored by the Ombudsman’s office for far too long."

Statement from Roe 4 Republican Prisoners 8/3/15


Prisoner Ombudsman and Prison Oversight Bodies are Paper Tigers.

From its inception in 2005, Republican Political Prisoners in Roe House have been zealously engaging the office of the Prisoner Ombudsman in an effort to resolve serious issues of concern. We have found that the Prisoner Ombudsman is at times weak and is used by the Jail administration as afaçade of accountability. We have regularly used its complaints systems, as well as multiple meetings with former Prisoner Ombudsman Pauline McCabe and the current Prisoner Ombudsman Tom McGonigle, with a view to resolving all on-going issues. In the last quarter alone, the complaints which we have registered number in the hundreds.

During the recent attack on a Republican prisoner by the Jail’s Riot Squad and the subsequent lock-down, the ombudsman was being kept up to speed (during and after the events) via phone calls. He was also made aware that medical treatments, along with legal and social visits, were being withheld. Despite this, it took several days for him to arrive at the Jail and in spite of having viewed video and physical evidence of the events confirming the account of Republican prisoners; he has yet to contradict the blatant lies issued by David Ford and Sue McAllister. For the Prisoner Ombudsman to cite Prison Rule 79 (part VIII) or Terms of Reference for Complaints as a means to avoid its responsibility can only be seen as submitting to these bodies, and cannot be viewed as having any degree of impartiality or independence.

Pauline McCabe released a report, nearing the end of her tenure, in May 2013, in which she made a number of recommendations. The Jail administration largely ignored the substantive recommendations within her detailed report. After further multiple complaints, and meetings with ourselves relating to this, Tom McGonigle compiled and released his report, recommending the Stocktake in June 2014, in order to re-engage the implementation process of, and remove ambiguity from, the August 2010 Agreement.

What as come of the recommendations and of the reports? In short, the Jail administration had dismissed the views and intent of those substantive recommendations regarding Republican Roe House; ignored the recommendations which do not suits its agenda; and twisted others to give the impression of fairness. Prevarication and unaccountability are the order of the day.

Security Governor Brian Armour stated, when confronted with the Ombudsman’s recommendation on controlled movement, that the Prisoner Ombudsman “was not qualified” to make that recommendation. Further recommendations have been repeatedly ignored or rejected by the Jail, including recently, those related to 35 complaints regarding persistent sleep deprivation, and continuous ‘alarm tests’, by night guards. This aggravating issue has been challenged ad nauseam during both Pauline McCabe and Tom McGonigle’s time in office, whilst the Jail persists with its sleep deprivation policy, and other methods of psychological torture unabated.

During meetings with Tom McGonigle he has, like so many others, largely agreed with our analysis; he even went so far as to state: “…there is political interference by the DUP”, and that, “…the situation is political”. David Ford, and a spokeswoman for the Ombudsman’s office, further declared that there are Staff working within the gaol that are directly answering to the NIO and the Secretary of State (Irish News 17-02-15) and not to the Jail Administration. Contextually, these are euphemisms for MI5. Neither could answer as to whether they had oversight of such staff. Such recognition of MI5 interference should certainly have led to the Ombudsman’s office issuing a public statement of outrage, yet Tom McGonigle seems indifferent. As a consequence, Republican prisoners in Roe House are being persecuted by faceless ‘staff’. The presence of these unaccountable NIO/MI5 personnel, and their malign influence, has been ignored by the Ombudsman’s office for far too long.

The conduct, and lack of grit, shown by Tom McGonigle and others involved in the complaints, assessment and facilitation process within the Jail, will only serve to embolden those who are determined to provoke conflict. The prolongation of instability within the Jail is the only definite result of evasive and political responses from bodies who are supposed to be independent and averse to political interference.

Republican Political Prisoners

IRISH SPIRIT OF 2016 LIBERATION

Many International Socialists regard the Easter Rebellion of 1916 in Ireland, as a betrayal of the Cause of Labour, in that they regard it, as a Nationalist rebellion, led by leaders like Pearse of the Gaelic tradition and Connolly of Labour, rather than being a matter of self-determination and liberation. Some, particularly the revisionists, have even gone so far, as to accuse Padraic Pearse of neo-fascism, while Labour MPs in the House of Commoners in London, stood up and applauded the news, of the execution of Labour stalwart and working-class hero, James Connoly in a wheelchair. I have no doubt, that the Provos of the Stormont Junta today, would do the same if it did not cost them votes. You only have to look at their 2016 video promo and see how they have denigrated the Connolly contribution or examine their collaboration in the torture of Irish POWs today, which replicates the brutality, meted out to the ten hunger strikers. Their treatment and censorship of nationalist youth, has caused  considerable death, suicide and wholesale incarceration, within their constituencies and is well on the way to being as vicious, as the Blueshirts. They are morphing into American Republican Darwinism, at an alarming rate, in their pursuit of political power at all costs, paying only lip service to traditional Irish republican values. Of course their manipulative skills learned in surviving paedophile homes, are a great asset, in the orifice licking environment of political Ireland.

To return to the 1916 legacy, I see the Pearse tradition, as more an expression of Motherland, rather than Fatherland, found in writings and in his poem, The Mother, which foretells his own martyrdom and that of his brother William.

The Mother

I do not grudge them: Lord, I do not grudge
My two strong sons that I have seen go out
To break their strength and die, they and a few,
In bloody protest for a glorious thing,
They shall be spoken of among their people,
The generations shall remember them,
And call them blessed;
But I will speak their names to my own heart
In the long nights;
The little names that were familiar once
Round my dead hearth.
Lord, thou art hard on mothers:
We suffer in their coming and their going;
And tho' I grudge them not, I weary, weary
Of the long sorrow-And yet I have my joy:
My sons were faithful, and they fought.

Both Pearse and Connolly for me are very complex characters but then so is the truth, in political matters. Connolly, born in Scotland of Irish stock, by participating in the Easter rebellion, remained true to his class and his DNA. It appears to be a DNA, that only the colonially, oppressed understand. It requires EQ rather than IQ to comprehend, best expressed by Pearse at the grave of O'Donovan Rossa, when he stated," the fools, the fools, they have left us our Fenian dead, and while Ireland holds these graves, Ireland unfree shall never be at peace." 

Connolly was a politically desperate man, when he engaged the Pearse and Clarke tradition. he had already experienced the betrayals of Labour and it's careerists, over and over again, while experiencing daily, the misery of his class in the slum tenements of Dublin, along with Larkin. Once he took his first step with the Irish Citizen Army, Connoly would have known full well, his approaching fate. He was sufficiently acquainted with the Britsh Army, to know that there was no turning back. Anyone who tries to re-write history on this fact, fools themselves. 

On the other hand, it is not clear, whether Pearse and Clarke were entirely aware, of the international nature of the tradition, they were engaging with, in Connolly and the ICA. It also appears, that many, assuming their legacy today, are not remotely aware, either. The basis of Connolly ideology, was expressed by him, when he stated, "The Cause of Ireland is the Cause of Labour and the Cause of Labour is the Cause of Labour". The Cause of Labour is International and primarily material, while the Cause of Ireland is primarily of Spirit and Self- Determination. The Legacy of 1916 is both. The realization and fulfilment of both traditions are equally important elements, for any successful Liberation Movement to sustain itself and succeed.

JOHN BULLY RIDES AGAIN

• 7 February at 15:00–16:30 in UTC Tomorrow Dublin, Ireland The Anti Internment Group of Ireland will hold a picket this Saturday the 7th of February 3pm. At the office of AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL 48 FLEET STREET DUBLIN to highlight the torture of republican prisoners in MAGHABERRY. We are calling for everyone to make the effort to attend and show Maghaberry that we will not stand idly by while Republican Political prisoners are beaten in Maghaberry ALL WELCOME

In 1966, The Times, of London, criticised the Unionist government of Northern Ireland, famously branding the province "John Bull's Political Slum". Well let me tell you dear reader, after more than 45 years of British Dirty War, it is now a political sewer. Their piss process junta, commanded by their British Viceroyal, stinks to high heaven, of vicious, bigotry and prejudice, with its cutting edge, in the treatment of Irish POWs, in Maghaberry Jail. They regularly use their sectarian riot squads, trying to batter Irish POWs into submission, with torture in their Orange scum state. It is simply impossible, to get justice within their perverted sewer of a blackmailed or mentored judiciary and politicians, created on the back of  raped kids, both human and goats. Don't take my word for it go and check it out for yourselves, I'm tired writing about it in detail.

This Statement by one of the POWs wives can explain the latest attack best:

MEDICAL ABUSE AT MAGHABERRY PRISON

6 February 2015 at 08:40

ACTION REQUEST - IRISH FREEDOM COMMITTEE

Wednesday January 5, 2015

CALL OUT NORTHERN IRELAND PRISONS SERVICE ON ABUSE,MEDICAL NEGLECT, AND COVER-UP

Maghaberry Prison is playing a dangerous game with the safety of the republican political prisoners at Roe House. Please join the call for the immediate release of severely injured political prisoner Martin Kelly, for hospital care to his very serious and possibly life-threatening injuries.

On Monday January 2 an unprovoked onslaught by sectarian Riot Squad members commenced at Roe House resulting in the vicious beating of political prisoner Martin Kelly. In the process of invading the landing, several masked and shielded Riot Squad members surrounded Martin and kicked and beat him violently. Martin sustained serious injuries including swollen neck and head, fractured arm, gaping wound at his face, and blood in his urine. Martin was eventually seen at the prison clinic where his arm was X-rayed and confirmed fractured, and had five paper stitches applied to his face. Martin was in process of being sent by ambulance to hospital, when the prison ordered he go through degrading strip search at the gates. Martin rightfully refused this needless addition of humiliation and degradation to his medical care-- in full accordance with doctor's direct orders, not to mention the 2010 August Agreement-- and was sent back to his cell by the prison, where he languishes yet.

This tactic of forced strip searches is not only a tired horse that Maghaberry Prison and the Northern Ireland Prisons Service continues to flog, for seemingly sadistic purposes, but an issue that has been resolved and signed for in contract in August 2010, nearly five years ago to this date. In this case sadism has taken a new turn at Maghaberry, making those who administer torture in the gulags of third world nations no doubt sit up in respect. More disgusting yet, both Director-General of the Northern Ireland Prison Service Sue McAllister, and JusticeMinister David Ford, have denied that this attack has taken place.

Martin Kelly sits tonight in his cell, his paper stitches already fallen out, in exquisite agony from his injuries. His head and neck are dangerously swollen. Martin needs immediate ambulance transportation to ER/A&E for casting to his arm as well as further workup including a CT scan to his swollen neck and head and blood in his urine.

Please use the info below to contact Director-General of the Northern Ireland Prison Service Sue McAllister, Justice Minister David Ford, and Prison Ombudsman Tom McGonigle. Please be aware that Prison Ombudsman Tom McGonigle is currently the only person outside Maghaberry to witness Martin Kelly's injuries first hand. Please see the short sample email text below.

SUBJECT: MEDICAL ABUSE AT MAGHABERRY PRISON


ATTN:

Director-General of the Northern Ireland Prison Service Sue McAllister

Justice Minister David Ford

Prison Ombudsman Tom McGonigle


I am writing with my grave concerns regarding the gross medical neglect to MARTIN KELLY, a prisoner at Roe House, Maghaberry Prison. I am distressed and alarmed at first-hand reports of his injuries which include a fractured arm, swollen head and neck, a gaping wound to his face, and blood in his urine. I understand these injuries were the result of an attack upon him by members of the prison Riot Squad, 6 days ago on Monday February 2nd. I further am baffled as to why after being seen at clinic, Maghaberry Prison staff then ordered Mr. Kelly to undergo a degrading and wholly unnecessary strip search on his way to the ambulance; which he refused in accordance with the prison doctor's own wishes. I am further aware that the archaic and perverse policy of strip search at Maghaberry was addressed and declared ended by the August 2010 Agreement-- which the Northern Ireland Prisons Service and Maghaberry Prison co-wrote and signed-- yet Maghaberry Prison seems petulantly unwilling to honor.

Please do not allow this man to die as a result of backward thinking and irrational, seemingly sectarian,vindictiveness. Release Martin Kelly immediately for the urgent medical care he so clearly needs.

Very sincerely,

BRITAIN COVERTLY TORTURES POWs IN IRELAND

Britain's most recent Dirty War in Ireland, has now lasted more than 45 years. It has been well documented, right up to the present day in hundreds of books, with thousands of articles published and like any war, it has Prisoners Of War, some politically interned, for up to four years on remand, who often have, the prosecution, suddenly dropped, because of non-existent evidence, before trial. Nevertheless they are all political prisoners and Prisoners of War, in Britain's most recent, dirty campaign in Ireland, which has now lasted almost fifty years.These are substantiated hard facts and not a matter of opinion. Britain under the various Geneva Conventions, International Law and European Law, have obligations, with regard to the treatment of those prisoners. Britain also has made previous agreements, with those prisoners, the latest in 2010, regarding their treatment, but with diversionary pretexts, are instead, employing Kitsonian techniques, to try and criminalize these Irish prisoners, then extending the criminalization, to the resistance among the communities they come from, against British Occupation in Ireland. This vicious cycle is as old as their Occupation in Ireland. These techniques are covered in Kitson's book, 'Low-intensity Operations', on how to break peaceful protest in British Colonies, which has now been extended domestically into England and into the treatment of Irish POWs. Essentially it is a more sophisticated version, of their age-old British doctrine and tricks, of divide and conquer.

The latest episode, involved sending in the most sectarian elements of their prison guards, in riot gear, to batter and trample on the heads and bodies of the defenseless, peaceful, protesting, Irish POWs, two days ago. The serious injuries suffered by the prisoners, have officially been denied by the administration, who at the same time, refuse to allow lawyers or families either speak or examine the prisoners. They have put the prison in lockdown and are waiting for the injuries to heal. While these seriously injured prisoners try to recover in isolation and agony, the British will try to exploit their vulnerability, by making all sorts of promises and threats, in order to get a denial from those brutalized, to fit with the administration's official denial of their brutality and to recruit them as spies, within the POWs. There is recorded previous evidence, of British intelligence, prodding the open wounds of Irish POWs, in order to recruit them. While broken limbs, head fractures and jackboot marks, don't heal in a matter of days, an independent medical assessor will not be allowed either. This is another chapter of British brutality in Ireland, which not alone affects POWs but also their distraught, worried, families and further enrages communities, that have suffered centuries of this sort of brutality. It makes a mockery of the pretext, of any credible peace process in Ireland and puts the status of the ruling British junta in Occupied Ireland, in the tinpot category. By the time the prison or prisoners can be inspected, it will be thoroughly scrubbed of all blood and sanitized, as will their official story of lies, which they privately call spin. It confirms once again, if that was necessary, for any enlightened, civilized, citizen of the world, Britain's status, as an International War Criminal.

RIDING THE GOAT KIDS

A

When Father Rode The Goat
The house is full of arnica
And mystery profound;
We do not dare to run about
Or make the slightest sound;
We leave the big piano shut
And do not strike a note;
The doctor’s been here seven times
Since father rode the goat.
He joined the lodge a week ago —
Got in at 4 a.m.
And sixteen brethren brought him home
Though he says he brought them.
His wrist was sprained and one big rip,
Had rent his Sunday coat —
There must have been a lively time
When father rode the goat.
He’s resting on the couch to-day!
And practicing his signs —
The hailing signal, working grip,
And other monkeyshines;
He mutters passwords 'neath his breath,
And other things he'll quote —
They surely had an evening’s work
When father rode the goat.
He has a gorgeous uniform,
All gold and red and blue;
A bat with plunges and yellow braid,
And golden badges too.
But, somehow, when we mention it,
He wears a look so grim
We wonder if he rode the goat
Or if the goat rode him.

by Greg Campbell

Riding the goat, as everyone knows, is a fundamental part of Orange Order culture, indeed the Orange State of Occupied Ireland is based on it. When I was being interrogated in Gough Barracks by the British, I noticed in the photographs thrown in front of me, that several of the goats raped, were in fact kid goats, and while I try not to be judgemental, I was frankly disgusted. So you can imagine my reaction, several years later, when a very expensive inquiry, in the Blueshirt state of the south of Ireland, found that there was systemic human kid rape in that state also. This is part of the horrific history of the Island, since the foundation of the two scum states, founded by Britain, to look after it's interests by proxy, as in their Commonwealth, after their limited official colonial departure. The secrecy around both human and goat kid rape, served British interests well, in that it is an excellent tool, to manipulate the political, judicial, media, etc., instruments of state, with secret blackmail and mentoring. Grooming and manipulation are essential parts, of the dark art of kid rape, cultivated for centuries, by the secret state of Whitehall in London. 

Let there be no mistake about it, the history of John Bull is a brutal bullying one, of extreme sadism, cultivated in his public schools and executed primarily, in Britain's first colony Ireland, over eight centuries ago. The size of Ireland relative to England, is similar in size but Ireland's total population, is today, one tenth of their neighbour. We can factor in all sorts of equations into this reality but at it's core is the fact, that at the minimum, more the equivalent of Ireland's population today, were victims of British genocide, somewhere in the region of seven million people, which any honest researcher, can confirm for themselves independently. This core fact, is just one of the truths, that can set Ireland free, when exposed, at the International Criminal Court and elsewhere uncensored. If Irish Republicans, put half their co-ordinated energy, into exposing these facts, in our modern age of communication, rather than engaging in reactionary violence, we will liberate ourselves and our people. Of course, it is much easier for me to write this, in my current location with detachment, far from the immediate trauma of conflict, rather than those current victims, caught up, in the web of British Dirty War brutality in Ireland.

Take for example, the many current POWs (Prisoners of War) in Maghaberry, Occupied Ireland. Two days ago the British sent in their Orange sectarian thugs, in the uniform of a riot squad, to quell a peaceful protest, by prisoners, in horrific conditions of incarceration. These sectarian thugs in British uniform, danced on the heads of Irish prisoners and battered them, to the point of serious injuries, then leaving the prisoners, locked up in their cells, in agony, with serious physical injuries, unattended to. They then as usual, sanitized their behaviour, with their considerable PR machine, excusing it on the basis of some graffiti, written on a toilet wall, threatening the prison administration. Now I don't know the complete truth of the graffiti, it could have been written by anyone, but I do know, that the wives and children of the prisoners are currently distraught with worry, about the condition of their loved ones. The communities of the POWs are enraged about this incessant British brutality and bullying. There were protesters from all over Ireland, outside the prison gates in a state of fury about all of this. The families and lawyers  of the POWs are not allowed to communicate, with any of their loved ones, or ascertain their condition, as they are in total lockdown. Now you don't have to be Einstein to figure, that this is not by any means, peace process procedure or to figure out, where this recipe is all leading.

The bottom line is, that Britain is ignoring EU Law, with regard to the treatment of prisoners, indeed I would suggest, they are being purposely and intentionally provocative, to hide even further, behind the provoked fog, of their Dirty War in Ireland, while excusing their own criminality and bullying in Ireland. They have signed up to European Law and are obliged to honour their commitments, both to that Law and a 2010 Agreement with Irish POWs. Now, once again, they are going down the Thatcher route, and Irish Republicans know from, decades of experience, exactly where that is leading. Having being through the trauma of the last 10 Hunger Strike deaths of Irish POWs already, Irish people, never want to experience that trauma again. It is a life changing event for whole communities. The fact is, that the island of Ireland is a very sick place, as a result, of centuries of all of this, coupled with, corrupt, proxy, administrations, based on kid rape. International help is badly needed, to help resolve these issues and help people recover from the damage British genocide has done to the Irish psyche. Other than the International Criminal Court, this writer, cannot see any other honest broker, who can help resolve this, in the absence of any honest, native, politicians who seem to be all dehumanized, but I am more than open, to any other possible solutions, wherever they come from, that are realistic and considered.

The War Prayer


By Mark Twain

O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst,

BRUTAL BRITISH ATTACK ON PEACEFUL IRISH POWS

British sources, have again lied to the media, regarding their attack today on Irish POWs, who are peacefully protesting, inhumane conditions, which were attacked  by their riot squad in Maghaberry, on the prison landings. The British stated, there was no violence and that Irish Republican Prisoners are now, locked in their cells, despite considerable serious injuries, that contradict their lies. The attack on the Irish political prisoners by the riot squad, they claimed only involved 40 POWs, however reliable sources from within the prison, have stated that many POWs were systematically brutalized, in an ongoing campaign by the British, to batter and criminalize Irish political prisoners, into submission by their brutal prison regime, that ignores European Law, with regard to the treatment of prisoners. 

One of the POWS, Martin Kelly has just received emergency treatment by a doctor belatedly after he and others were beaten savagely by the Riot Squad. Martin was eventually dragged by his hair, from a large pool of blood in his cell, and is reported to be in a shocking, mangled state, with his head covered in blood and still bleeding profusely, hours after the brutal attack on the POWs. His comrades have revealed, that the British Riot Squad, danced on his head, for a considerable period of time. His arm is broken and his body covered in lacerations. The injuries to the other POWs are not clear, as they are ignored and locked in their cells, without medical examination. There is currently a large protest vigil, by people from all over Ireland, outside the prison gates, awaiting updates, regarding the condition of the Irish POWs.

Britain has a long history of brutalizing and torturing Irish POWs, defying European Law, under which they are obliged to provide, humane conditions. British POWs were always treated humanely in Europe, where even in the Second World War, the Nazi's adhered to International Conventions, with regard to their treatment. However the British Dirty War in Ireland, extends right into their prisons, to include the brutal treatment of Irish POWs, where it is meant to provoke further violence, from their communities, to justify their occupation and brutality, in Occupied Ireland. All of this is a continuation of British prison policy, which previously led to the death of 23 Irish hunger strikers and ominously appears to be a repeat of British savage history, in Ireland.

Statement from Cabhair Prisoners 
Roe 3 Maghaberry

12th July 2014

As Republican prisoners we abide by a strict ediquette of honor, honesty and discipline. At all times we have honored our word and Have Prison regime gave the room to Implement Their side of any agreement we Reached with them.


To date the prison regime Have Not Agreed Implemented the end to controlled movement amonst other things Agreed upon, proving Malthus They are not to be trusted and Their modus operandi is the criminalization of Republican Prisoners.

The lastest attempt to criminalise Republican prisoners Concerns visitng arrangements. At present POW's can sit in a "booth" beside Their Families, children and Maintain Their hold strong family relationships. The prison regime is now working on changing the outlay and number of tables available for a visit. They plan to have a round metal table, With one seat for prisoners and three seats at the other side of the table for visitors, This Will Be completely open plan. The seat for prisoners will even go as far as being a different color, no longer will families be able to sit together, privacy will be completely removed and replaced with a sterile and clinical atmosphere resulting in a Formal style visit of prisoners With Their families and friends.

Many prisoners have children and This Will seriously impact on the quality time spend with them They Can and Could lead to an estrangement, having to visit Their fathers in Such an alien, unnatural and restrictive environment.

We, as Republican prisoners will not be criminalised and so can not and will not accept this arrangement. We will refuse all visits That Are Conducted In This Manner, as we will not allow the prison regime to humiliate us or our families. We would point to the will of Republican prisoners who in the past with previously Asserted Their rights as political prisoners not to be criminalised, Those like us before we are prepared and we will not be forced into capitualte or an unacceptable regime at the prison.

The proposal stops short of imposing a partition Between prisoners and visitors, we believe this is only the start of phasing in a complete criminalization policy against Republicans. We will not be found wanting in our resitance and we urged the public to get behind us In this campaign. The work has Already Began on Visting the changing room, This policy Could be implented in the next couple of weeks and so we urgently need Republican support and the people to highlight this for us.
