Martin Corey Force Strip-searched Before After Parole Hearing
Concerns have been expressed for 63-year-old internee Martin Corey after he was subjected to forced strip-searches both before and after his attendance at a hearing of the Parole Commission this week.
The republican prisoner of conscience is approaching the fourth anniversary of his detention on the basis of “secret evidence” allegedly in the possession of the PSNI police.Despite having served the equivalent of a six year jail term, it has been two years since his last parole hearing.
In July 2012 a High Court judge ordered Corey’s immediate release, stating his human rights had been violated -- but the British government over-ruled the decision and cancelled Corey’s release.
The Lurgan man has said he is being held without trial because he refused PSNI demands to work as an informer against his republican comrades.
Sinn Fein Assembly member Jennifer McCann said Mr Corey’s human and legal rights had been breached.
“It is well past the time that this man be released and this injustice ended. He, like everyone else, should be entitled to due process under the law and anything less is a breach of his human and legal rights.”
The Release Martin Corey campaign became the top trending subjects on the Twitter social network as an anti-internment campaign took to the internet this week. The decision of the Parole Commission is expected to be made known within weeks.
PRISONERS ‘MUST BE MOVED’Meanwhile, there have been calls for five republican prisoners to be moved out of Maghaberry Prison’s punishment block and housed with other republicans.
The prisoners in question are Desmond and Thomas Hamill, Austin Creggan, Martin McGilloway and Gavin Coyle, all from County Tyrone. Independent councillor Angela Nelson said the prison should abide by the terms of the 2003 Steele Report, which recommended republican prisoners be separated from loyalists and criminals.
In the isolation block known as “the boards”, the men are locked up for up to 23 hours every day and are denied access to educational and other resources.
The prisoners’ requests to British officials to be transferred to the jail’s Roe House have been refused on the basis they are under threat from other republicans in Roe House -- a claim that is understood to be untrue.
Who dares to speak for an innocent man whose voice has been silenced behind the wall of 21st Century British repression in Ireland?
Martin Corey has been locked away in Maghaberry Prison since 2010 without charge or trial on the basis of closed evidence. Visit the website to learn more: www.releasemartincorey.com
Nobody knows the reason why Martin was arrested, nor has a reason been given. This is very worrying, indeed all free minded people, all who believe in free speech, freedom of expression, freedom of movement should be worried, all who believe in a democratic society where everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion should revolt to this 63 year old mans defense. As an Irish Republican Martin Corey believes in the right of the Irish people to the ownership of Ireland, he believes Ireland and her people have a right to practice unheeded their own independence. Is this why Martin was interned? When did it become a crime? Was it with the signing of the Belfast Agreement (GFA), is this the new start, the new beginning we were all promised?
The reality on the ground is that not much has changed and so it becomes obvious that Martin Corey is being held Hostage by the British Government because of his Political Beliefs, all those who believe in justice and equality must support this campaign.

1. British Occupied Ireland
Irish: Tuaisceart Éireann sometimes in British slang, known as Norlin Airlann or Norlin Airlan, it is militarily occupied by the British and is a neo-colony in the north-eastern part of the island of Ireland. As of 2011, its population was 1,810,863 constituting approximately 30% of the island of Ireland's total population.
Officially known as a British Scum State, it was created in 1921, when Ireland was partitioned on a sectarian headcount by an act of the British parliament. It was partioned after the Irish General Election in 1918 where the vast majority of the island of Ireland voted for independence from Britain Historically, it s marked by sectarian discrimination, internment without trial, ethnic cleansing, human rights violations and British state terrorism.

Are you part of the Solution or the Problem? Indymedia ireland
Lethal Allies a book on British Government Collusion in the sectarian murders of ordinary innocent Irish people in British Occupied Ireland is written by leading journalist Anne Callwallader and produced by the Pat Finucane centre focused on the ethnic cleansing of the Glenanne Gang which still operates in Ireland.
The book documents members of the British police and the British Army who were part of this gang which murdered hundreds of innocent people, particularly in the 1970s, operating primarily from loyalist farms in counties Armagh and Tyrone.
Yes we can trade different perspectives on the bloodletting of British Occupation and neo-colonialism in Ireland until we the cows come home but the solution is not on that path. If you are sincere about peace then you don't have to be particularly bright to see where the solution lies, it's not rocket science.
Internment without trial is an instrument of War not Peace.
