Fermanagh 32 County Sovereignty Movement are holding a protest in support of the Republican prisoners in Maghaberry gaol on Saturday 19th of June at 3pm Cornagrade road, Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh.
The demand is simple we want Political Status restored to the Republican POWs in Maghaberry gaol.
Our POWs are now being criminalised and brutalised by the very same system that the Blanket Men and Hunger Strikers fought against .Theirs is the same Demand.
We demand the immediate reinstatement of the humane and safe living conditions within the prison regime which were implemented following the tragic hunger strikes of 1981. We demand the immediate end to controlled movement which is being used by the screws to isolate and intimidate prisoners. We demand the immediate end of degrading and humiliating strip searches.
We demand the end of the free rein given to the POA in reversing the gains of 1981 and their determination to implement a regime based on brutality and sectarian bigotry.
The treatment of Republican Prisoners Of War and political prisoners alike in Maghaberry gaol is nothing short of disgusting and inhumane. The abusive treatment by Prison employees has escalated drastically in the past few weeks.
The media have been absolutely deafening in their silence about this torturous campaign waged against our incarcerated Republicans comrades. The only reporting of this issue is coming from the Republican groups supporting these men and from a few humanitarian organisations.
Maghaberry prison is a prison not fit for purpose the prison is a place of denial of liberty, it is not a sadistic toy to be utilised as a centre of brutality and psychological terrorisation where defenceless prisoners are subjected to the degradations of the hostage, as in Maghaberry today.
We will not stand by and allow this draconian regime to continue unchallenged in Maghaberry prison. These prisoners are human beings and as entitled to protections under human rights legislation as any of us. If the media are refusing to document and shame the system for its vile actions, it is up to us as Republicans to take to the street to protest, poster and challenge this regime, we owe our comrades that much.
We call on all Republicans to come and stand with us in solidarity with the POWs at this protest.They can ignore one of us, but they cannot ignore all of us.
