DISPATCH FROM IFC POW DEPT.

Subject: Aidan Hulme Released for Surgery
Date: 11 20 02

The Irish Freedom Committee is pleased to finally announce that over one
month since the Hulme family was forced to pay an exorbitant fee to
transport him to and from hospital, and over four months since
Belmarsh's own doctors ruled that his leg damage was so severe that they
would amputate; Aidan Hulme has finally received the operation that may
save his badly injured leg. Aidan is now recovering at Belmarsh prison.

The Irish Freedom Committee would like to gratefully acknowledge all of
you who so generously gave your help when the Hulme family needed you.
During our long fight on behalf of Aidan Hulme, offers of help poured in
from around the country. Dozens of letters, emails and phone calls were
made weekly on behalf of his critical situation during this IFC campaign, as
so many of you gave your time and your concern to Aidan and his family.
Thanks to the great generosity of many of you, the Irish Freedom
Committee was able to help the Hulme family meet the outrageous amount
demanded by the British government to guarantee Aidan's medical care.
The Hulme family have expressed their very sincere thanks to all of you.

While the Irish Freedom Committee is relieved that Aidan has finally
received the critical care he has needed for the past six months, we
view this news with mixed feelings. Aidan has not been given
appropriate recovery time, and is back in 23-hour lockdown in a concrete
windowless cell. We urge all of our members and supporters to stay
vigilant as this situation develops.

The right to compassionate and timely medical care is a basic human
right, not a privilege. The British government has acted disgracefully
in Aidan Hulme's case, and we urge no one to forget it.

Go raibh maith agat to all of you.
