Internment Of Tyrone Republican Condemned


The 32 County Sovereignty Movement in Fermanagh condemn in the strongest terms the arrest,charge, and internment of Tyrone Republican and EX POW Conor Casey from Cookstown.

To be an Irish Republican today with a belief in ending British rule in the six counties and restoring national sovereignty and re-unification is a crime in the eyes of Britain’s administration here.

To campaign politically in pursuit of these aims is so great a crime that you could find yourself effectively interned and spending a considerable number of years in prison as a result.

One has only to examine this case where Ex Republican POW Conor Casey was arrested and charged under new British terror laws for attending the funeral of his friend and comrade John Brady who died at the hands of the British PSNI/RUC.

Various similar cases which have been thrown out of court after several years, or to look at the length of time, in a number of cases, over two years, which individuals such as that of Belfast Republican and Ex POW Terry Mc Cafferty serves as a stark reminder to all of us.

And of course, that system of internment by remand is compounded by a judicial system which makes the conditions for securing bail extremely difficult.
