Membership charges equivalent of Internment
Statement by Ruairí Ó Brádaigh, President, Republican Sinn Féin
December 20, 2001
The use of IRA membership charges, which will presumably be based on the unsupported "opinion" of a police chief superintendent, is tantamount to internment without trial, said Ruairí Ó Brádaigh, President of Republican Sinn Féin following the appearance today (Thurs) at the Special Non-Jury Court in Dublin of eight men arrested at a Republican Sinn Féin meeting in a house in Limerick on Monday night.
Not content with the suppression of publicity material from Republican Sinn Féin, the Establishment has now resorted to aggressive raids on homes culminating in Monday nights’ raid and arrest of people taking part in a political meeting.
However he was confident that the RSF organisation would emerge stronger than ever from this period of coercion. A picket with placards paraded outside the court.
