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.
