Plans by GAAW to Desecrate Liam Mellowes Statue

category galway | anti-war / imperialism | news report author Monday January 28, 2008 11:55author by saoirse - Republican Sinn Feinauthor email saoirse at iol dot ieauthor address 223 Parnell St Dublin 1author phone 01 8729747 Report this post to the editors

Statement by Tomas Ó Curraoin.

Republican Sinn Fein oppose plans by GAAW to draped orange jumpsuit on Liam Mellowes statue.

Republican Sinn Féin came out in opposition to the plans of the Galway Alliance Against War to drape Liam Mellowes Statue in an orange jumpsuit at a demonstration on Saturday January 26. RSF spokesperson, Tomas Ó Curraoin, said that it was: “a shameful insult to the memory of a brave Irishman, who gave his life for the freedom of his country, for his statue to be treated in this way.

“The war in Iraq is wrong, and Republican Sinn Féin, along with many others in Galway, have opposed this war from the start, and deplore the treatment of the prisoners in Guantanomo. However, desecrating the statue of Liam Mellowes, a man who suffered in prison and was executed without trial, for the freedom of his country, is just a cheap and shameful stunt, and should be opposed by all Galway people,” said Tomas Ó Curraoin.
