SUBJECT: DRUGS FREE ZONE DEMAND: Maghaberry Prison

A co-founder of the Civil Rights Association in 1967 will lead a
deputation of prisoners' relatives to meet the Bishop of Derry, Dr,
Séamus Hegarty, tomorrow afternoon at St. Eugene's Cathedral. This was
approved at a meeting of relatives yesterday (Saturday).

The relatives are convinced that the NIO and Brit administration in the
Six Counties will hold out against the granting of full politicial
status, gained by the laying down of the lives of ten brave IRA/INLA
volunteers who died on hunger-strike in the summer of 1981.

The republican PoWs and the FSN Campaign are determined to pursue that
demand. However, as a step towards ending the highly dangerous "mixing
policy", whereby republicans are greatly outnumbered and isolated on
specific wings, a new demand has emerged, which has the backing of the
CR Vets, and other allied associations. The republican PoWs are
demanding a drug free, secure zone, as a step towards their own
protection. This may not end up a totally republican wing, but certainly
would leave the PoWs in a much safer environment.

With the re-jailing of the Belfast loyalist drugs-baron'Mad Dog' Johnny
Adair, republicans expect the flow of hard drugs into HMP Maghaberry to
rapidly increase, and so too the danger to their own lives, and general
well-being. The PoWs have welcomed the plans for a Repatriation & Full
Status Now Conference in Derry on February 22nd. Admission by prior
registration only. Contact fsncampaign@hotmail.com or
oct5th_vets68@hotmail.com

Please circulate this information to your friends and to whom it may
concern. Thank you !!!!
