RPAG CONDEMNS SNIFFER DOG TORTURE

The Republican Prisoners’ Action Group views with deep concern the continuing abuse of the passive drugs ( "sniffer" ) dog in Maghaberry Gaol.

In light of the fact that no drugs have ever been discovered either amongst Republican prisoners or their visitors, it is clear that this measure is simply punitive in nature.

It has been brought to our attention that two Republican POWs have been denied open visits due to alleged "detections" by the dog.

One of the prisoners has been refused visits every second week, whereas the other prisoner has been denied his last three visits – by different family members.

The end result of this harassment is that he has not received a visit for over a month.

The RPAG believes that this amounts to nothing less than psychological torture of the POWs. We reiterate our call for the removal of the so-called "drugs" dog, and for the concession of the protesting prisoners’ five demands.

ENDS
