Time To End Internment - Release Marian Price and Martin Corey

Marian Price has been in jail for nearly a year now after her appearance at an Easter commemoration last year in which she held a piece of paper which a masked person read from.

This was the central reason cited for revoking her license despite the fact that she received a royal pardon for her acts in relation to the Old Bailey bombing. The pardon has mysteriously disappeared, the NIO can't find it - fed to the shredder no doubt.

The charges stemming from the commemoration have been dismissed.

Marian has been held in shocking conditions, you don't have to take my word for it;



Her health has now deteriorated to such an extent that she cannot make court appearances (such as to see the charges dismissed) or even appear via video link.

In 2009 she was questioned over the Massarene barracks attack. After the Secretary of State had her jailed (over 2 years later) she was charged with providing them with a mobile phone despite no new evidence coming out in the meantime. This charge is in my opinion simply to make her internment look more legitimate, otherwise they would not have waited so long to charge her. Even so due to her royal pardon she was not out on license, thus no license to revoke.

Perhaps the most important aspect of this whole situation is the fact that it is propaganda gold for anti GFA republicans. Her unjust incarceration is generating far more sympathy and support for their politics than any amount of commemorations. SFs message to nationalists in the north is that things are different today, the injustices of the past are gone and replaced by a shared future.

Marian Prices internment on the word of the British Secretary of State fundamentally shakes that assertion.

Also Martin Corey.

Some might have noticed that he was released on compassionate grounds to attend his brothers funeral on condition he was accompanied by two senior SF figures.

LURGAN republican Martin Corey was allowed temporary release to attend his brother’s funeral on Thursday after originally being barred from doing so.

Martin Corey's imprisonment is in my opinion the greatest injustice of the post GFA era. He was imprisoned for life for killing two RUC men and spent twenty years behind bars, he was released in 1992.

However in 2010 the Brit Secretary of State revoked his license, why? Here's the kicker, he won't say. Merely said it was "closed material". This means that Martin can't appeal to get the decision judicially reviewed because he doesn't know why he is in jail. No charges, nothing.

This is a disgraceful violation of his human rights. Human rights are universal, otherwise they mean nothing, they can't be applied selectively.

Is a despicable situation where a man can be imprisoned and not even a reason given.
