POLICE STATE TACTICS AGAINST LEGITIMATE PROTEST

The Irish Republican Socialist Party would seriously question the heavy handedness of Garda officers against hundreds of anti-war protesters at Shannon as it is without doubt nothing more than Police State tactics against legitimate protest.

PRESS STATEMENT

Irish Republican Socialist Party


RE: POLICE STATE TACTICS AGAINST LEGITIMATE PROTEST

The Irish Republican Socialist Party would seriously question the heavy handedness of Garda officers against hundreds of anti-war protesters at Shannon as it is without doubt nothing more than Police State tactics against legitimate protest.


As the war on innocent Iraqi’s continues, so too does our opposition in Ireland to the imperialist forces who wage that war and their lackeys in Leinster House. Bertie Ahern and the 26 County Administration has ignored the will of the people by allowing US planes into Shannon Airport for refuelling. US troops on their way to the war effort in Iraq have been seen openly in military fatigues strolling around the airport complex and beyond while their planes are refuelled.


Todays action was a well-organised peaceful form of protest representing many different groups with various political outlooks nationally and yet we have all been subjected to the intimidating use of Bertie’s boot-boys. It is every imperialist country’s duty within the New World Order to silence and incriminate each sign of rebelliousness or defiant political opposition to achieve a ‘peaceful’ society in which to impose the new mandates and rules of the imperialist superpowers. The tactics the people of Ireland have witnessed at Shannon at first hand and on their TV’s shows that Bertie is fulfilling his role.


The IRSP totally condemns the illegal, immoral and unjust imperialist war by the USA inspired alliance against the people of Iraq. This is an imperialist war waged for both strategic and material interests. For republican socialists our message is clear: US & Brits OUT OF IRAQ! OUT OF IRELAND!
