The 32 County Sovereignty Movement is thankful to hear of the release earlier today of Republican prisoner Brendan O'Connor from Pomeroy. Brendan was arrested and detained by British occupation forces and detained in Maghaberry Jail on an alleged charge of conspiring to destroy Stewartstown Police station with an explosive device in July 2000.
Ever since his arrest the 32 County Sovereignty Movement along with the Irish Republican Prisoners Welfare Association had expressed our concern over what we considered to be trumped up charges against him. Again, as in the case of Martin Brogan, Mark Carroll and Seamus Dohert (all of whom have likewise been released) the issue at the heart of the matter is one of 'dodgy evidence' and the likelihood of tampering and fabrication surrounding supposed DNA finds.
Ever since the Brogan and Carroll case, we along with other supporters have asked the question "how many others?". We take no pleasure in finding ourselves right once again and point instead to this as further confirmation of the continuing corruption inherant within the Six County State.
Press Release: 32 County Sovereignty Movement.
Date: 1/12/04.
For Immediate Release.
