REPUBLICAN NETWORK for UNITY (RNU) spokesperson, Martin Óg Meehan has strongly criticised the charging of three Irish citizens including Veteran Republican, Marion Price as an attempt to criminalise the voice of radical republicanism.

Mr. Meehan said; "These ridiculous charges against Ms. Price and two members of Republican Sinn Fein are a travesty of justice and designed to limit the growth of radical republicanism in British occupied Ireland. The blatant use of Political Policing, Special Legislation and Non-Jury Courts will not achieve the end of progressive political activities. On the contary, they will breed further resistance".

The RNU Ard Chomhairle member concluded; "We call on those genuinely interested in free speech against oppression and imperialism to rally behind the Irish Republican message and expose the British denial of the Irish people's right to national self-determination".
