IRSP WELCOMES RELEASE OF SEAMUS DOHERTY AND CONGRATULATES CAMPAIGN

The IRSP today welcomes the release of Derry republican Seamus Doherty
from his illegal incarceration at the hands of a British dirty tricks
department. We also take this opportunity to congratulate Seamus'
family, supporters and legal team for a hard fought battle that in the
end proved the folly of Britain's continued policy of singling out
those opposed to the current political process for special treatment.

The campaign run by Seamus' family and friends will serve as an
inspiration to all those fighting for human rights and those fighting
against an illegal, unjust and unfair British legal system in Ireland.
We offer our deepest congratulations to all involved.

At the IRSP's Ard-Fheis which was held in Derry on Saturday 13th
November, a motion was passed calling for the release of Seamus
Doherty. We are glad to see that the position of the Free Seamus
Doherty Campaign has been vindicated and that an innocent man has now
been freed. This acquittal, while late in coming, is welcomed
nonetheless. Seamus will now be able to get on with his life but will
no doubt be affected by what the British state has put him through in
the last year and a half in what was undoubtedly a political frame up.

We wish Seamus and his family well for the future.
