Price Arrest shatters myth that six county policing is 'non political'


The recently staged political arrest of 32 County Sovereignty Movement National Secretary Marian Price underscores the fact that policing in the Six Counties will always be political.

We have long stated that where sovereignty is disputed policing will always take a side in that dispute.

The myth that policing in the Six Counties could be detached from the constitutional question by employing the charade of ‘Civic Policing’ has been shattered yet again.

The British Government has repeatedly used policing to curry favour with whichever political mood prevails.

On the one hand we had the establishment of the benign District Policing Partnerships as a sop to the constituency of establishment nationalists.

And now that we have unionists grappling with the issue of devolving minimalist Policing and Justice ‘powers’ to Stormont we witness the targeting of high profile republican activists for arrest by the RUC/PSNI.

Coupled with this is the appearance before Crown Courts of Irish Republicans on the most spurious of grounds.

All of this points to where the British Government desires that political policing should lead. We urge all republicans to be vigilant in the times ahead as British efforts to secure its illegal sovereign claim over part of Ireland intensify.

Veteran Republican Marion Price Arrested

Old Bailey bomber arrested over soldiers murders


Leading republican Marian Price has been arrested by detectives investigating the murders of two soldiers outside Massereene barracks in Antrim.

Tuesday, 17 November 2009


Heavily armed police raided her home in the Andersonstown area of west Belfast and she was taken away for questioning about the Real IRA killings last March.

Price, 55, was arrested along with a 39-year-old man, who was detained 40 miles away in Coalisland, Co Tyrone.

It is understood that police began the search of her semi-detached red brick house in Stockman's Avenue, a quiet cul de sac close to the M1 motorway, when heavily armed police wearing flak jackets arrived in cars and Land Rovers at around 7.30am on Monday.

The arrested pair are being held in Antrim for questioning.

A total of 14 people have now been arrested in connection with the murders of Sappers Patrick Azimkar, 21, from London, and Mark Quinsey, 23, from Birmingham at the military base.

Only two men have been charged so far, prominent Co Armagh republican Colin Duffy, 41, and Brian Shivers, 44, from Magherafelt, Co Londonderry.

Price and her sister Dolores were among those convicted over the 1973 bombing outside the Old Bailey in which one person was killed and around 200 others injured.

The Price sisters were transferred to a Northern Ireland prison after going on hunger strike.

The episode secured their position as high-profile members of the republican movement at the time.

Marian Price has since been a vocal critic of the decision of the mainstream republican movement to decommission weapons and back the political process.

She is a leading member of the 32 County Sovereignty Movement, considered to be the Real IRA's political wing.

Assemble 8pm Eddie Carmody Memorial Hall Ballylongford, Co,Kerry

Speaker: Marion Price 32CSM


Volunteer Eddie Carmody was born in Moyvane, Co. Kerry and at a very young age moved to Ballylongford to work on a local farm.

He was an outstanding Gaelic footballer and an all round athlete. He was a man of great courage, honesty and innate chivalry.

He was one of the first local men to join Óglaigh na hÉireann becoming at first the Quarter Master of his local company and then a Lieutenant within the IRA.

While on his way to an arms dump outside Ballylongford on the 22nd November 1920, he was ambushed by a patrol of Black and Tans.

He was severely wounded after being fired upon several times, but still managed to struggle away a few hundred yards.

The Tans following his trail of blood found him after a brief search and dragged him onto the roadway, where he was kicked and beaten with rifle butts.

After being stabbed by the soldiers bayonets in a frenzied attack he was shot several times in the face resulting in his death.

His body was then put onto a cart and dragged through the village to the local barrack's, where he was left outside in a turf shed till his father collected his body the following day.
