Jump To Comment: 1 2 3The cruel and barbaric treatment of these political prisoners is horrific.
The Irishmen being held and brutally assaulted in Maghaberry “H.M.” Prison today are there for their political activism and their efforts to eliminate the last remnants of British imperialism rule in Ireland and, regardless, of whether you or I agree/disagree with their political views or methods of operating - every human, free or not, deserves to be treated with dignity and not suffer such degrading treatment.
Subjecting political prisoners held in Maghaberry to degrading and cruel treatment will have devastating ripple effects for those inside and outside the prison community, and creates an atmosphere of intense hatred, which will inevitably erupt into an increase in hostile retaliatory actions both inside/outside the prison.
This prison should be shut down. If there is not independent observers denouncing it for human rights abuses, there are prisoners committing suicide, or being brutally assaulted by prison wardens as reported here. Shut it down, for God’s sake!
Hi !
A march and rally in support of the Maghaberry POW's will be held in Belfast on Saturday 29th May 2010 , at 2pm. The assembly point is Dunville Park , from where the parade will leave for Castle Street.
More information at the 'Related Link' below.
All Welcome!
Thanks!
Sharon.
Belfast POW Rally, Saturday 29th May 2010.
I am neither Republican nor Sinn Féin, more a citizen of the world. I support all calls for humane conditions for the prisoners in Maghaberry Prison as for prisoners everywhere. Vigilance is necessary, please keep us posted.
