IRSP Condemn Today's Raids and Arrests in Strabane

The Irish Republican Socialist Party utterly condemn this morning's
raids on the homes of party personnel and the subsequent arrests of
party members in Strabane.

We view these raids and arrests as nothing more than the latest in a
line of intimidation against IRSP members that stretches back to
November 2005 when a series of similar raids took place. We believe
that these raids are an attempt to placate unionism and are being used
by the RUC/PSNI to justify similar raids against criminals operating
under the banner of loyalism.

The Irish Republican Socialist Movement are not involved in crime, the
opposite is the case, members of the INLA recently distrupted two
drugs gangs in Derry and Strabane. The INLA also dismantled two
separate gangs who were targeting homes and business premises in
Inishowen. The record of the IRSM speaks for itself in relation to
crime and criminality. We oppose it whilst the RUC/PSNI see crimes and
criminality as opportunities to turn young criminals into paid
informers against their communities.

It is significant that these actions by the RUC/PSNI come as the
Republican Socialist Movement prepares to commemorate ten young
republicans who fasted to the death in the face of being labeled
criminals by the British and their lackeys. The republicans of 1981
would not accept that label and twenty-five years on the republicans
of 2006 will not accept that label.

We are confident that nothing will come from today's arrests other
than media headlines inspired by a discredited RUC/PSNI.

Recently the IRSP in Counties Derry and Tyrone have come under close
scrutiny from the state's "new" police force. We are continually told
that there is a new dispensation when it comes to policing, we have
seen that today, they have new emblems and a new name, that's it. The
same anti-republican attitude still exists within this discredited
force. We are certain that they will uncover no evidence whatsoever in
relation to money laundering or any other crime simply because the
IRSP are not involved in any of this activity. We cannot be any
clearer than that.
