>>SPIRIT OF HUNGER STRIKERS LIVES ON! IRELAND UNFREE
>SHALL NEVER BE AT PEACE!
>>
>>Since British forces first sought to conquer Ireland
>in 1169, hundreds of thousands of Martyrs have fallen
>in the struggle for freedom and independence. This
>year we specifically commemorate the 20th Anniversary
>of
>>the painful and heroic death on hunger strike of 10
>Martyrs. These were:
>>Bobby Sands (PIRA) Francis Hughes (PIRA) Raymond
>McCreesh (PIRA) Joe McDonnell (PIRA) Martin Hurson
>(PIRA) Kieran Doherty (PIRA) THomas McElwee (PIRA)
>Patsy O`Hara (INLA) Kevin Lynch (INLA) Mickey Devine
>(INLA.
>
>>Although those 10 Martyrs first entered their
>struggle to win justice, National independence and
>Self - Determination for Ireland, it is sad to note
>that 20 years later, we do not appear to be any closer
>to these objectives. The Six counties of Ireland are
>still occupied bt British
>Troops, and the Nationalist Population is still
>attacked by Death squads backed by the British Army
>and RUC ( almost one pipe bomb attack per day in
>January / February 2001 ).
>>
>>POLITICAL STATUS UNDER RENEWED ATTACK
>>
>>Not only are the final objectives as far away as
>ever, but the specific aim of the hunger strike of
>`81, summed up in the title of " Political Status for
>Irish Political Prisoners", for which the 10 Martyrs
>gave their lives,
>has been abolished. The statement has gone out that
>"all republican Prisoners have now been released".
>THIS IS A LIE. Those Republican Prisoners who have not
>signed up to the Good Friday Agreement, or who were
>arrested after the signing of the GFA in `98, are
>still in British and
>Irish Government Jails. And in the British jails,
>moves are afoot to begin to criminalise the prisoners,
>the same policy that led to the deaths of those 10
>heroes in 1981.
>
>NO PEACE WITHOUT JUSTICE;
>NO JUSTICE WITHOUT FREEDOM.
>>
>>History shows that only Irish freedom and
>independence can bring permanent peace. The GFA does
>not bring that; in fact the `Peace Process` is being
>used as a cover for the isolation, intimidation,
>victimisation and murder
>of those who oppose the process ( whether they support
>the continuation of Armed struggle or not ). Knowing
>this, relatives of some of the 10 hunger strikers have
>asked that the names of those Martyrs be not used by
>those
>who support the GFA. We however, can voice their
>names, and remember them with pride. We believe that
>all genuine anti -imperialists should unite to
>co-operate in political action against British
>imperialism in Ireland.
