The IRSP today embarked on the first of a planned campaign to highlight the plight and support the cause of the political prisoners curently on protest in Maghaberry gaol by staging a white line picket from the bottom of the Whiterock Road to Beechmount Avenue.
Around 150 Belfast IRSP activists lined this stretch of the Falls Road to protest their disgust at the unacceptable treatment of Republican POW's within Maghaberry gaol by the British Government and their Prison Service.
The IRSP fully support the prisoners in their protest and call for the reinstatement of political status, which was surendered by a branch of Irish Republicanism within the acceptance of the British manufactured Good Friday Agreement. The sacrifices of the ten brave republican volunteers and martyrs of Long Kesh in 1981 must not be in vain. The demands won then are the right of each and every republican POW incarcerated now.
1981 must be a lesson to us all. Do not allow a return to those dark and dismal days, stand by the POW's now, remember the hungerstrikers with pride and demand the reinstatement of political status!
