Support political status for Republican prisoners.

The 'struggle within a struggle' - the fight for political status - goes on.

Show your support in Dublin or Armagh on Sat May 9th 2009.

Part of a communique received over the Easter period , 2009 , from Irish Republican prisoners -
"We, the PoWs, continue to resist all attempts by the NIO to criminalise us and our struggle and with your continued support we are confident of victory. In the words of Liam Lynch “we have declared for a Republic and will live by no other law”.
Continuity not compromise.
Tiocfaidh ár lá.
O/C Republican PoWs Maghaberry."

On Saturday , May 9th next , as Republicans in Dublin are holding a Hunger-Strikers Rally in O' Connell Street (http://www.indymedia.ie/article/92003) our colleagues in Lurgan , County Armagh , will be assembling at 2pm in Edward Street for a POW picket to demand political status for Irish Republican prisoners. The day is being billed by RSF as "a day of action for the restoration of political status" .
Those who are concerned re this issue are asked to please attend one event or the other .

Thanks!
Sharon.
