Subject: EMERGENCY APPEAL - Aidan Hulme surgery
Date: 09 28 02
The Irish Freedom Committee condemns in the sharpest terms the blatant
extortion tactics of the British Government, who have refused to provide
emergency medical treatment to a remand Irish prisoner without a massive
cash payment by his family.
The British government claims that £4000 (US $6,250.00) is required from
the family to transport Aidan Hulme to hospital. This demand was laid
on the family at the 11th hour of a promised bail, which had been
obtained in court 16 days prior. The bailed release for the surgery
came with a court-imposed gag order to support groups including the
Irish Freedom Committee, who were ordered not to publicize the upcoming
release or it would be revoked.
The Irish Freedom Committee honored that order, as did the IRPWA and the
32 County Sovereignty Committee, and many other support groups in
Ireland and England. However, there was never any release planned, and
the 'gag order' was merely part of an elaborate hoax by the British
Government. At the very last moment, hours before Aidan Hulme's
promised release, the family was contacted and told to pay £9,000.00
cash sterling or there would be no medical treatment to their son. That
amount has since been 'modified' to £4,000.
The British government has had no problem extraditing Aidan Hulme from
his home in Belfast to a British court, and into a British jail, without
requiring funds from his family; and has likewise had no problem
extraditing Irish men and women to its courts from the Occupied North,
Slovakia, the United States, and many other parts of the world-- all
without asking the families to pay for transportation.
The British government has set a new precedent in inhumanity by now
seeking to extort cash sums from Irish families in order to secure
medical treatment for their loved ones in prison.
While the Irish Freedom Committee utterly condemns these reprehensible
Mafioso tactics by the British government, we cannot sit idly by and
allow this young man to lose his leg. Every day the situation worsens
for this young man.
The Hulme family has asked Irish Freedom Committee for our urgent help
to guarantee their son's release to hospital as soon as possible.
We are seeking any donation you can send to the Hulme family, large or
small.
If you can help this family, please contact us AS SOON AS POSSIBLE at
the email address below.
Go raibh maith agat;
