t>FULL STATUS NOW CAMPAIGN - An Electoral Issue ?
>
>The October Fifth (1968 Civil Rights Veterans &
>Supporters) Association deserve to be congratulated
>for endeavouring to alert the wider public on the REAL
>DANGERS facing many jailed republicans. The
>pro-Stormont forces frankly don't care a hoot. A few
>empty words, certainly no action. However, all those
>who consider themselves to be part and parcel of the
>IA-PL network, must remain pro-active. At the very
>least, forward solidarity messages, to the Oct. 5th.
>Assoc. ASAP.
>
>Fintan Lawlor one wrote, "Somewhere, somehow a
>beginning must be made....." It is therefore important
>that the CR Vets are not left with the feeling that
>it's an "Ourselves Alone" situation. The prisoners are
>much more isolated and vunerable than ever before.
>Some are outnumbered 15-1 on landings that are
>essentially 'Loyalist wings'. This policy is quite
>reckless and deliberate. What 'Pan-Nationalist' would
>even now dare to suggest that such a strategy is NOT
>fully approved and encouraged by both Whitehall and
>the NIO ?. Dare we ask, what are they prepared to do
>about it?
>
>Several prisoners have been viciously attacked, even
>in the supposed safety of their cell. Death-threats
>must be taken seriously. We all CAN do something on
>the "outside".
>
>The IA-PL welcomes the ideas being put forward. We
>view these as mere "starters". The main menu should
>quickly incorporate positive political action pre-May
>2003. We take this stand because the prisoners need
>more than ideas, they need these to be turned into
>positive action. Several will be reluctant to move
>forward without the backing of the prisoners. We know
>they find it difficult to communicate, such is their
>isolation. Their relatives must therefore become both
>their bridge and their voice in the first instance.
>The IA-PL "network", in Ireland and abroad, should
>consider the CR Vets's statement as a wake-up call for
>increased activity aimed at promoting a greater unity
>of purpose, based on mutual co-operation, and
>practical solidarity.
>
>Reassure CR Vets that they do not stand almost alone,
>as on Duke Street, October 5th 1968. Send solidarity
>messages to:

>oct5th_vets68@hotmail.com ( ASAP ).

>SUPPORT THE FSNC PLAN
>DEMAND IMMEDIATE SEGREGATION ON THE WINGS @ MAGHABERRY
>HELP EXTEND THE "NETWORK" INTO THE PRISON CELLS
