It's not CO2 that drives the climate, says astrophysicist Dr Henrik Svensmark. Its the Sun and cosmic rays. But you won't hear about this because only one viewpoint is now allowed in the pseudo-science of climate.

Solidarity Message With Hunger Strikers

category cork | rights, freedoms and repression | opinion/analysis author Sunday November 20, 2005 13:38author by Prisoner - Solidarity Report this post to the editors

The family of 1981 INLA Hunger Striker Patsy O’Hara have expressed their concern at the ongoing hunger strike taken in protest by several political activists in the Fresnes Prison, France by issuing a direct statement to those involved.
Victory To The Hunger Strikers
Victory To The Hunger Strikers

We the family of Irish Republican Socialist Hunger Strike Martyr Patsy O' Hara who died in Long Kesh on 21st May 1981 send heartfelt solidarity wishes to the POW's on Hunger Strike in Fresnes Prison and their families. We are deeply saddened that once again Political Prisoners are forced to Fast to the death in an attempt to achieve justice and humanitarian treatment from the French Government that has incarcerated them in the first place. We wonder if this will be the benchmark of a new form of Internment to be adopted by all the EU countries, especially France, Spain, Germany and England who have an atrocious record of human rights abuse, especially when it comes to Prisoners.
We call for an end to the Solitary Confinements,
End to the Torture and degradation
End to the show Trial and a return to Justice.

Tony O' Hara

La família del pres de l’INLA (exèrcit d’alliberació nacional irlandés) Patsy O’Hara que morí en vaga de fam al 1981, han expressat la seva preocupació per l’actual vaga de fam que duen a terme varis activistes polítics a la presó de Fresnes, França, mitjançant un comunicat dirigit a aquells/es implicats.

Nosaltres la família del Republicá Socialista Irlandés Mártir Patsy O’Hara que morí en vaga de fam a la presó de Long Kesh el 21 de Maig de 1981, enviem de tot cor les nostres salutacions solidaries als/les Pres@s de Guerra en vaga de fam a la presó de Fresnes, França, i a les seves families. Estem profundament entristits que una vegada més els/les pres@s polítics es vegin forçats a dejunar fins a la mort en un esforç per conseguir justícia i tracte humanitari per part del govern que els ha empresonat en primera instància.
Ens preguntem si aquest será el resultat d’una nova forma de masificació d’empresonaments que adoptarán tots els països de la UE, especialment França, Estat Espanyol, Alemanya i Anglaterra,tots els quals tenen un atroç llistat d’abusos als drets humans especialment quan a pres@s es refereix.

Fem un crit per un final de l’aïllament,
final de les tortures i la degradació
final dels judicis farsa

Tony O’Hara

La familia del preso del INLA (ejército de liberación nacional irlandés) Patsy O’Hara que murióeb huelga de hambre en 1981, han expresado su preocupación por la actual huelga de hambre que llevan a cabo vari@s activistas politic@s en la cárcel de Fresnes, Francia, mediante un comunicado dirigido a aquell@s implicados.
Nosotros la familia del Republicano Socialista Irlandés Mártir Patsy O’Hara que murió en huelga de hambre en la cárcel de Long Kesh el 21 de Mayo de 1981, enviamos de corazón nuestros saludos solidarios a los Presos de Guerra en huelga de hambre en la cárcel de Fresnes, Francia, y a sus familias. Estamos profundamente entristecidos que una vez mas l@s pres@s politic@s se vean forzados a ayunar hasta la muerte en un esfuerzo por conseguir justicia y trato humanitario por parte del gobierno que l@s ha encarcelado en primer lugar.
Nos preguntamos si este será el resultado de una nueva forma de masificación de encarcelamientos que adoptarán todos los paises de UE, especialmente Francia, Estado Español, Alemania e Inglaterra, los cuales tienen un atroz record de abusos a los derechos humanos, especialmente en cuanto a pres@s se refiere.
Llamamos a un fin del aislamiento,
Fin de las torturas y degradación
Fin del juicio farsa

Tony O’Hara

Who are the "several political activists in the Fresnes Prison". What have they been imprisioned for?
