POW Protests in Fermanagh

CALL FOR REPUBLICAN UNITY

REPUBLICANS UNITED NEEDED TO END THE ABUSE OF POW’s IN BRITISH GAOL.

The continued abuse of Republican POW’s in Maghaberry Gaol is not only a serious violation of their Human Rights but a reflection of how the British Government and their puppets at Stormont have no answers on how to treat republicans or how to deal with the republican analysis which exposes the continued violation of Irish National Sovereignty.

Mr Francis Mackey, Chairman of the 32 County Sovereignty Movement said, “Republicans have exposed the flaws in the normalisation of British Rule in Ireland and by doing so demonstrated that the British Government and their allies in Stormont can only repeat the repressive practices of the past to subdue the legitimate Republican challenge.

The abuse of POW’s in Maghaberry and the continued internment of Marian Price illustrates how abuse, repression and harassment is the extent of the thinking the British and the parties in Stormont are prepared to go rather than trying to end the political conditions which allows this inhumane practice to continue”.

Continuing Mr Mackey said, “ It is imperative the Republican base and particularly all republican Organisations, Societies and Individuals stand united and firmly behind the campaign to end the political abuse of republicans.

I appeal for Unity of Republican purpose to bring pressure to bear on the parties in Stormont to end the practice of Strip Searching as a first step in ending the protest in this gaol.

What concerns me most is the pressure on these men and I would fear such continued pressure would escalate and I personally do not want to see a repeat of history in this regard.

Therefore what ever actions are necessary should be explored to bring this issue to a successful conclusion.”

32csm New Year Statement 2012

32CSM new year statement 2012

As 2011 draws to a close we send greetings to our supporters and activists at home and abroad. We salute the dedication and enthusiasm shown by all during the past year. It has been a difficult year for Republicans, we have seen ever increasing levels of harassment of our activists on both sides of the border. This has extended beyond the targeting of individuals and is now being used as a tool of coercion against extended families and whole communities. The true nature of the six county state has been revealed as in the past year it has reverted to type. We have witnessed the reintroduction of the supergrass trial, political policing, sectarian marches and the criminalizing of Republican POWs.

The 32CSM salutes the courage of the POWs in both Maghaberry and Portlaoise in the past year. An agreement that was signed in good faith by the POWs was reneged on by the prison service, but it is the British government and their accomplices at Stormont who bare the ultimate responsibility for the ongoing crisis. We call on them to recognize the agreement and to end the degrading and unnecessary strip searches.
We send greetings and solidarity to Marian Price, interned once again in a British gaol. Marian’s case should not be of interest only to republicans but to all who profess a concern for human rights and justice. The 32CSM will step up and expand our campaign in 2012 to highlight this blatant disregard for Marian’s human rights. We will not stop until she is back with her family and comrades.

The economic situation in Ireland has not only deteriorated in the past year it has exposed the fundamental contradiction in Capitalism and those who adhere to it in this country. Whilst the majority are told to shoulder the burden of the few, those who exploit and betray the working class remain immune. The 32CSM has laid out the framework for a new Ireland, sovereign politically, economically and socially on the basis that it is the people of Ireland who must decide how their country functions. The occupation of the six counties by an Imperialist power is mirrored now in the 26 counties by an administration that is directed by the IMF. The power wielded by both imperialism and capitalism in Ireland is an impediment to the Republic envisioned by Connolly, Lalor, Pearse and Tone.

The forces of resistance ranged against these twin impediments to progress are multifaceted in both their approach and character. The 32CSM recognizes that whilst the cause of the conflict in Ireland is left out of political discourse then the solution will remain out of reach. The IRA has struck against the forces of the occupation and the capitalist institutions that enable and compliment the efforts of normalization. The IRA are not the cause of conflict in Ireland they are a response to the conditions created by Imperialism in Ireland. The 32CSM believes that there is no room for ambiguity on the issue of resistance. To refuse to engage with those who acknowledge that resistance is inevitable and legitimate is to endorse the establishment narrative.

The 32CSM in 2011 showed our resolute commitment to make our Republicanism an active and relevant ideology. Our activists have been to the forefront in an array of campaigns across Ireland. Whether it is the issue of drug abuse in working class communities or right wing economic cuts against services we have recognized that it is imperative for us to respond to the needs of our communities. In the coming year we will enhance and broaden this social commitment and articulate our vision of a Republicanism that will meet the needs of the people of Ireland and provide a framework for political and social liberation.

We will continue the struggle in the coming year and we are confident that with courage and a sincere commitment to Republican values it will be a year of success and a defiant response to those who seek to destroy our movement and all it stands for.

MI5 Try To Recruit Fermanagh Man

The 32CSM in Fermanagh would like to take this opportunity to condemn the actions of the PSNI and British security services in their recent attempts to harass and victimise a young Fermanagh Republican.


The young man, who does not wish to be named, comes from the Lisnaskea area. Over the past six months he has been stopped and searched a total of 71 times by the PSNI under the terrorism act.



On each occasion he was subjected to a full body search. When stopped in a friend’s car, the car and all the occupants would be searched also.

The most worrying development however came last week when the young republican was travelling to Liverpool to visit relatives. He was stopped and held by Special Branch and M15 operatives in Belfast International Airport for over half an hour, and questioned about his association with named republicans in Fermanagh and Donegal. During this time he was asked to gather information on the individuals’ movements and associates.



The young republican refused and asked could he leave as he would miss his flight. The mood in the room changed quickly and the young man was threatened with arrest and a subsequent jail sentence while being accused of things he knew nothing about.

After it was clear the man had no idea what they were talking about, he was left continue on his way with the warning that he would see them again. The man was offered £500 pound cash to start with, and it was said that there will be more to follow if he co-operated.


The 32 County Sovereignty Movement would like to commend the brave actions of this young Lisnaskea man and would like to thank him for coming forward with this worrying information. Attempting to recruit the young man as an informer showed a total disregard for his safety, and life.

Anyone who experiencing pressure such as this from the PSNI or MI5 is asked to contact your local 32CSM Cumann so they can highlight and challenge what is happening.



Beir Bua.

POLITICAL POLICING-ABUSE OF POWER= INTERNMENT

POLITICAL POLICING-ABUSE OF POWER= INTERNMENT
The arrest of a Coalisland man, his family home raided and trumped up charges made against him by British Policing in Ireland amount to internment by remand.
Mr Shane Coleman of the 32 County Sovereignty Movement in Tyrone said, “The arrest of Kevin Murphy and the raid on his family home is an increase in the harassment and intimidation suffered by this family over many years.”
“Mr Murphy is another in a long line on the conveyor belt of internment within the corrupt British judicial system in Ireland. Marian Price is another recent example of how the British Government assisted by their lackeys in Stormont deal with republicans who expose the violation of Irish National Sovereignty.”
Continuing Mr Coleman said, “I call on all Republicans to stand firm against this attack by the discredited PSNI on the republican and Nationalist community and to send a firm message to the establishment in Stormont and London that this failed tactic of internment by remand will fail again. It would appear they have learned nothing from the past 40 years and have no alternative but to repeat history with their failed policies in Ireland.
There is only one solution and that is for the British Government to relinquish their illegal sovereign claim to part of the Irish Nation and bring an end to this intimidation and harassment of the Irish people”.

POWs Savagely Beaten

Kevin Barry Nolan and Gerard McManus were forcibly strip searched yesterday before leaving Maghberry for court.They reported that when leaving for court it was the usual rough strip search by the riot squad dressed in boiler suits but that all changed on their return.

They were met by the riot squad dressed in full riot gear and when they refused to strip they attacked them.They put them on the ground and brutally removed their clothing, they twisted their arms up their backs and were trailing them around by their beards raining blows on their bodies and all the while shouting (for the benefit of the tape) stop resisting the search. Neither of them resisted the search in any way.

When the brutal strip search was over they were ordered to stand up which they refused, the riot squad then attacked them again while they were lying on the floor. They have received injuries and are covered in cuts and bruises. Tensions are high on the wing, the riot squad are taunting the lads and blocking them in when they are being escorted to the phone or for visits.

All the POWs have remarked that the screws/riot squad have upped the ante lately and are constantly trying to get an excuse to get stuck into a POW resulting in a number of POWs receiving beatings in this last week.
