that 'Solidarity with hunger strikers in Turkey' is an offshoot of the Irish Republican Socialist Party?

Ps I was also wondering what exactly is an 'F-type prison', if you'll excuse my ignorance

It isn't an off-shoot of any party. It is a group of people who came together after a public meeting about 3 years ago to raise awareness about the Turkish Hunger Strike in Ireland.

There is a page here

which explains what the hunger strikes are about. Hasn't been updated in a while but all the background info is there.
