<br />
About twenty Irish republican activists maintained a presence on the Half'penny Bridge in Dublin yesterday <em> (Sunday 25th October 2015)</em> for approximately ninety minutes to voice support for political prisoners at home and abroad. All available 'leaflet packs' were distributed to interested passersby, many of whom made inquiries regarding the situation. The following statement was read during the event by an RSF representative -<br />
<em><strong>'Comrades, we are gathered here today to pay homage to our brave volunteers and to highlight the plight that they are currently facing as they languish in captivity. It is important to send not only our solidarity, but also to show our defiance of British rule and continue to progress towards the united Ireland we need. The Agreement reached in August 2010 never really stood a chance with the securocrat regime in Maghaberry Jail. Co Antrim, which is controlled by MI5.<br />
<br />
Continually republican POWs have stressed that they wish to see the Agreement implemented and have given over the last five years, adequate time, in which the jail administration could have implement it. After a succession of negotiation attempts we are now seeing the prisoners facing a worse predicament than they have faced since the Agreement was put in place, with the continuation of the “take big, give small” strategy in full flow.<br />
<br />
The men are now in a prison within a prison, within a house and on landings where their association areas are caged off and access to and from these areas are in the complete control of the screws. Just as recent as last week their entire right to privacy was eroded with the screws wearing body cameras; the POWs are now having every aspect of their heavily restricted existence recorded by the enemy. The jail administration has continued to show their petty vindictiveness through the damaging of handcrafts and the confiscation of mail - both done without any sort of justification or explanation.<br />
<br />
We would like to at this time extend our solidarity to the Palestinian prisoners and the revolutionary prisoners in Turkey. Much like our own revolutionary prisoners we know your spirits will not be broken by the oppressor. The enemy will never criminalise the republican POWs, they can never break our defiance. So long as we have resistance comrades, we have victory. We reiterate the prisoners’ stance: implement the August 2010 Agreement, bring down the cages and end the petty vindictiveness. End the dehumanising practice of strip searching, we will accept nothing less than its complete removal from jail policy, no interpretation of its use is acceptable.<br />
<br />
It is important that we stand here today and show our enemy that we have not forgotten our men behind the wire. From Ireland to England, from Rome to the USA, from Sweden, Netherlands to Australia, Republicans stand united against the tyranny of British rule through the support of our comrades in captivity.<br />
<br />
Victory to the POWS! '</strong></em><br />
