The Prison authorities’ stance on compassionate leave for Republican Prisoners must be challenged.

INTERNED WITHOUT TRIAL

Statement from the Charlie Agnew Cumann, Republican Sinn Féin, Armagh City

“Republican Prisoners have a long history of honouring their word when on compassionate leave. The current British administration seems intent on punishing Republican prisoners during the most difficult and vulnerable time they can go through” according to a statement from the Charlie Agnew Cumann, Republican Sinn Féin, Armagh City, on June 1, 2012.

“Republican prisoners who are currently incarcerated in Maghaberry prison are enduring the most horrendous conditions and barbarity at the hands of the British administration, propped up by all the politicos in Stormont. The prisoners have to go through invasive strip searching; controlled movement is imposed on Republican landings and free association completely removed.

“Life as a Republican prisoner is one of hardship and daily challenges. Due to the inhumane conditions, the Republican prisoners have been on a no wash protest to try and end the unacceptable conditions. Now it would seem Republican prisoners are facing the refusal of compassionate parole as a means to punish them for their political beliefs and protest.

“In January 2012, protesting POW Damien McKenna was refused compassionate parole to attend his father’s funeral with no recourse to appeal the decision. The decision was engineered to be made after 4pm which meant the High court was finished for the day meaning the prison authorities decision was final. This Machiavellian behaviour in itself is unjust and must be challenged.

“In May 2012, Political Hostage Martin Corey applied for compassionate parole only to be passed from pillar to post for two full days before a decision was made. Finally a decision to allow release for one and a half hours was given 15 minutes before the funeral was due to start for his brother who had died.

“His conditions where deplorable. He was only allowed to the funeral Mass, he arrived at 1pm and had to be back in Jail for 3pm, the jail being more than a half and hours drive, in total he was only allowed with his family to grief for a short period.

“The issue of compassionate parole is an emotive one. Republican prisoners have always honoured their word and the British state, at various times, have always denied leave as a form of punishment.

“We the Republican people must now take this issue to our hearts, we must campaign for better compassionate parole conditions for prisoners and for the refusal of compassionate parole to cease.

“Along with this we must continue in our fight to secure Political status for prisoners and demand that Political hostages Martin Corey and Marian Price are released immediately”, the statement concluded.

Conspiracy theories have never been strangers to Republican circles. The most notable since the 1998 Belfast Agreement, is that so-called ‘securocrats’ are involved in a conspiracy to discredit the leadership of the Provisional movement and undermine the peace process. (1) Securocrats can be defined as “disgruntled members of the security forces who want to force Sinn Fein out of government.” (2) The securocrats allegedly pull the secret strings of Northern Ireland. “These men, skulking in corners of the army, MI5, Special Branch and the Northern Ireland Office, form… a ‘shadow government’, bent on forcing its own, reactionary agenda on the province. In this view, their driving purpose is the defeat, discrediting and humiliation of Sinn Féin and the IRA – regardless of the policy pursued by Tony Blair and his ‘official’ government in Downing Street.” (3) For example, last December the late Denis Donaldson was exposed as a British agent. He had been one of three officials charged with spying on other political parties at Stormont; the alleged ‘Stormontgate‘ plot discovered in October 2002. The Provisional leadership insisted that this was proof that the spy ring had never existed and that the whole Stormontgate affair had been set up by the securocrats. “It was a British spy ring controlled by securocrats, by people within the establishment who are hostile to the peace process” declared Martin McGuinness. (4) This is questionable. Far from launching the Stormontgate affair to give the then Ulster Unionist leader David Trimble an excuse to walk away from power-sharing with the Provisional movement, the securocrats took the view that Mr Trimble should ignore the spying scandal and stay in government.
As Ed Moloney puts it, “The Sinn Féin conspiracy theory – that the spooks are out to destroy the peace process – suffers from a fundamental flaw. Not only is it rubbish, but the exact opposite is the truth. The peace process represents the wildest fantasies of the security establishment come true and the last thing the spooks want is to see it destroyed. The peace process has enabled MI5 and the Police Service of Northern Ireland special branch to achieve something that very few if any security forces have ever accomplished: to see their enemy defanged by its own leadership and led out of violent revolutionary ways into constitutional politics and a world where the principle of consent overrides the Armalite. MI5 and the PSNI know they could never have done this themselves, that they needed people like Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness to do it for them. So why on earth would the spooks want to undermine them, to frustrate them and place obstacles in their way, as the Provo leadership claim they have consistently done – most recently with Stormontgate? To have done so would have been to act fundamentally against their own interests. It just wouldn’t make sense.” (5) Professor Paul Bew noted that “those whom Sinn Féin named as securocrats gave every sign of being inconvenienced by the Stormontgate affair. It was their job, after all, to deliver the institutions of the Good Friday agreement and to keep Mr Adams locked into the peace process. In that sense, there has been, for many years now, a profound commonality of interest between the British security establishment and Mr Adams.” (6)
This is not to say that the securocrats are nothing but “a conspiracy theory that belonged in an airport thriller rather than the real world” as some think. (7) Such elements of the British security forces exist, “but they are not in the driving seat of British security policy. Those running the show know that there is more than one way to skin a cat. They are the type of people whom the Provisional leadership was meeting behind the backs of its membership and whose overriding objective was to ensure that Provisional objectives were never secured.” (8) For example, when Chief Constable Hugh Orde alleged in December 2004 that the Provisional movement carried out the Northern Bank robbery, Martin McGuinness told a press conference that there was a political agenda by the government and “securocrats” to try to “criminalise and marginalise” his party and stop the peace process. (9) But it is not the agenda he would have us believe. “It is an agenda of bringing Sinn Fein more closely into the structure of the state. Had there have been any chance of a deal being stuck, Orde would have been under tremendous pressure to go no further than his under reported statement that a republican group was responsible for the Northern Bank heist, without specifying which.” (10) Similarly, the Provisional movement accused senior NIO official permanent secretary Pilling of running a nest of securocrats. Pilling had in fact ensured during the 1998 Belfast Agreement negotiations that prisoners would not be released in exchange for decommissioning as a means to facilitate the peace process and the Provisional’s transition into British institutions. Far from the British establishment “considering the process to be a threat to its rule in the North” or the securocrats “attempting to engineer political isolation and demonisation” of the Provisional leadership (11), we find British diplomat David Goodall claiming that everything was going almost according to plan and former MI6 director Michael Oatley expressing public admiration for the Provisional leadership. (12)
The Provisional movement also frequently allege that there is a conspiracy between the media and the securocrats, with journalists becoming a willing participant in the so-called ‘dirty war’ by spreading “misinformation” to attack Sinn Fein and the Peace Process. When the so-called ‘Stake Knife’ affair broke out in May 2003, the Provisional leadership denied everything and blamed the collusion of securocrats and ‘journocrats’. “All of these stories are coming from nameless and faceless securocrats in British intelligence” said Martin McGuinness. (13) The peace process has indeed corrupted journalism, but not in the manner alleged by McGuinness. Quite the opposite in fact. The media has been accused by award-winning journalist Ed Moloney of covering up truth to protect the peace process and being reluctant to report events unhelpful to the peace process. (14) For example, when in October 2000 the Provisional shot dead Joe O Connor in Ballymurphy, their involvement in the murder was mostly brushed under the carpet by the media. Reporters and editors sympathetic to Sinn Fein’s strategy branded journalists who asked awkward questions (such as Ed Moloney or Suzanne Breen) “JAPPS – Journalists Against the Peace Process”. It would be more accurate to say that the peace process has in fact produced Journalists Against Journalism.
The securocrat conspiracy theory may be flawed, but it brings two political benefits for the Provisional movement. First it allows to present itself nationally and internationally as a perpetual victim; which is electorally advantageous. Secondly, it allows to shift the blame for deadlocks in the peace process away from itself to ‘securocrats’, ‘malevolent blanketeers’, ‘japps’ and other ‘enemies of the peace process’. But the cost has been that crying securocrat wolf too often has ultimately undermined the credibility of the Provisional movement. Every time the Provisional leadership cries out ‘securocrat’, only the faithful believe.

[R . S . F news] Provo MLAs act as jailers

IN A statement on May 25 the POW Department of Republican Sinn Féin said that the use of compassionate leave as a punishment against POLITICAL HOSTAGE Martin Corey, who is currently languishing in Maghaberry Jail with no charges against him, ws a new low even for the British and their lackeys in Stormont.

“Peter Corey, Martin’s brother, died on Monday, May 21, 2012 after a battle with cancer. The prison regime refused Martin compassionate leave. One of the reasons given was their fear that Martin would abscond. Republicans have always honoured their word in regards to compassionate leave and to suggest otherwise is insulting. What is equally insulting was the suggestion by the prison service was that ‘the lives of those attending the funeral would be endangered’ should he get out for the day.

“An appeal was scheduled for the morning of the funeral – Thursday, May 24 at 9am. The High Court in Belfast refused to make a judgement; referred it back to prison service and suggested they reconsider their refusal.

“At 11.45am, 15 minutes before the funeral Mass was scheduled to begin, Martin’s solicitor was informed that leave had been granted on the condition that two British Ministers belonging to the Provisionals escort him. One other independent person was also to accompany Martin. Martin was not allowed out of the Chapel grounds, even for the burial and had to be back in Maghaberry for 3pm.

“The escort by Provisional Crown Ministers is a classic case of poacher turned gamekeeper. The sight of O’Dowd and McCartney – ex-Republicans – performing the duties of the prison service shows them to be hollow shells of their former selves, something which was not lost on the community they claim to represent.

“The Provisionals are so totally embedded in the British establishment that they were entrusted with the ‘job’ of ensuring a Republican POW returned to jail after attending a Mass. Had Martin Corey been given dignified parole he would have returned to the jail at his appointed time, a man of his word does not need jailers.

“If the Provisionals have the power to act as jailers in the name of the British government and the prison service, how come they don’t use that power to get Martin released? Or even get the inhuman conditions in the jail improved?

“The practices of the past are no longer afforded to Republican POWs, most recently POW Damien McKenna was point blank refused leave to attend his father’s funeral.

“The cat-and-mouse games of the NIO and courts in relation to compassionate leave for Republican prisoners is mental torture against people who are already going through deep grief and anguish, this practice must stop immediately.”

Martin Corey denied parole for brother’s funeral

Martin Corey, a political hostage in Maghaberry jail, Co Antrim, was refused parole on May 23 to attend the funeral of his brother Peter who died suddenly.
Two years ago Martin Corey had his licence revoked by the British Secretary of State in the Occupied Six Counties, the reason for which has never been disclosed to him or anyone else.
For the 19 years previous to his re-arrest Martin ran a business in Lurgan having been released from jail after serving 19 years of a life sentence.
Martin has never been given an explanation for his re-arrest. He has no charges preferred against him and the British Government has, to all intents and purposes, interned him.
We are all well aware of the contemptuous attitude of the British Government to Irish political prisoners. Nevertheless, surely at such a time a man who has lived and worked in Lurgan for 19 of the last 21 years, could be shown some compassion.
Martin eventually had to take a judicial review of his internment, which is currently before the courts.
Unfortunately this is not the only time a POW has been refused parole. Gavin McKenna, also of Lurgan, was refused parole to attend his father’s funeral just weeks ago. And not unlike Martin’s case, Gavin’s father died suddenly also.

PRESS RELEASE FROM RSF CO CORK !

EU: Republikanisches Ratsmitglied ruft zu Nein auf

Irische Bauernvereinigung gegen Stabilitätspakt gegründet10 Mai / Bealtaine 2012
…
Galway/Dublin – In Irland, wo am 31. Mai 2012 als einziger EU-Mitgliedsstaat die Bevölkerung über den EU-Stabilitätspakt befragt werden wird, wächst das Nein-Lager stetig. Vor wenigen Tagen rief das Ratsmitglied der Grafschaft Galway, Tomás Ó Curraoin die Bevölkerung auf, für Nein zu stimmen.

Tomás Ó Curraoin ist Mitglied von Republican Sinn Féin und wurde bei den letzten lokalen Wahlen mit über 15% der Stimmen in die Lokalvertretung der Grafschaft Galway gewählt.

In einer Stellungnahme erklärte er, seit der EWG-Mitgliedschaft Irlands wurde die Fischerei und Rübenzuckerindustrie zerstört. Doch nun gebe es eine Möglichkeit zurückzuschlagen, denn der Stabilitätspakt sei nichts anderes, als „ein weiterer Versuch der irischen Bevölkerung die Rechte zu nehmen und die fehlgeschlagene und undemokratische EU zu stärken.“

Währenddessen startete am heutigen Donnerstag, 10. Mai, die Kampagne „Bauern für ein Nein“ mit einer Pressekonferenz in Dublin. Die Organisation setzt sich aus ehemaligen und gegenwärtigen Mitgliedern und Funktionären der Irischen Bauernvereinigung (IFA) und der Irischen Rinder- und Schafzüchter-Vereinigung zusammen.

Bei der Pressekonferenz sprachen die unabhängigen Parlamentsabgeordneten Thomas Pringle und Luke Flanagan, sowie Anthony Coughlan, emerierter Professor des Trinity College Dublin.

Die Kampagne erklärte, bei einer Ratifizierung des Stabilitätspakts würde Irland „permanent jede Kontrolle über die eigene Fiskalpolitik und vor allem die Regierung die Kontrolle über zukünftige Budgets an die neue Troika aus EU-Kommission, EZB und Europäischen Gerichtshof abgeben“.

Dies führe zu „mehr Macht für die ungewählten Technokraten in Brüssel und Luxemburg“, so die Kampagne „Bauern für ein Nein“ auf einer Pressekonferenz in Dublin.

British RUC/PSNI Raid Republican homes in Craigavon and Newry, terrorising Children, guns drawn.

Three homes of Republican Sinn Féin members were raided by armed RUC/ PSNI and CID police units this week in Craigavon in County Armagh. In each home computers, media storage devices and mobile phones were seized.

Up to 20 land rovers and 40 police personnel carried out the raids “very aggressively”, according to the party. One member of Republican Sinn Féin was told he would be arrested if he continued to speak Irish — they didn’t understand his “foreign” language.

“Children were told to ‘f… off”, and indeed chased, at gunpoint, when they gathered on the street to see what was happening; everyone’s name was taken regardless of age,” the group said.

Another member of Republican Sinn Féin who was driving in the area was also stopped and surrounded by a total of eight police vehicles.

‘COMMUNITY ARREST’

Local residents said that for almost two weeks, a police helicopter has hovered over the area and no one can leave the area without the risk of being stopped, searched and verbally abused by the RUC/PSNI.

“Residents are effectively under community arrest”, said one man, “any time someone attempts to leave the area they are pounced on, questioned and searched.”

He continued: “Another man has his home watched every night from 7.30pm onwards, so he is effectively under house arrest. The harassment is dreadful here in Craigavon and Lurgan.

“People living five miles down the road don’t realise what is happening here. The concentration of police in and around the area, with their aggressive and heavy-handed tactics, don’t make for good community relations.

“It’s no wonder the youth as so alienated when they see their homes being torn apart and family members abused.”

The men, who did not want to be named, said that the “deliberate attempts by the RUC to keep nationalists in subjugation” would not work and that “the British were playing a very dangerous game” with a marginalised community.

NEWRY HARASSMENT

Meanwhile, eirigi in Newry said the actions of the RUC/PSNI in the County Armagh town has reached new lows.

The group said recent incidents included the targeting of adults, children and also charity workers.

Speaking about the incidents, éirígí’s Stephen Murney said that on St Patricks Day he had been contacted by a number of residents of Parkhead Crescent who said that the PSNI had entered the area in two armoured cars and an armoured landrover.

“One of the residents told me that they had stopped and searched her mother, she had two small children with her at the time. When the thugs were finished tormenting them they started to goad a group of youths nearby, the end result was a teenager being forcefully arrested. When residents tried to intervene they too were threatened by RUC/PSNI gunmen.”

He said a few days later, on Tuesday, another person contacted eirigi after he was stopped and searched in Hill Street.

“The victim was doing charity work at the time, raising money for a local suicide prevention support group. Whilst collecting sponsors the PSNI/RUC decided to stop and search him under section 21 and 24 of the British Justice and Security Act. He was searched for ammunition, wireless apparatus and transmitters.

“Not only was he subjected to a humiliating search in the centre of Newry, they also took his sponsor card off him. Thankfully due to strong protestations from himself and members of the public he was given the sponsor card back and was allowed to continue on his way.”

Murney concluded, “These latest incidents prove what we have been saying all along. The PSNI/RUC are unaccountable to no one, they can do what they want, when they want. A wide range of individuals are being relentlessly targeted by this militia; Adults, children, political activists and now we can add charity workers to the list of harassment victims”
