Subject: NOEL MAGUIRE POW - DAY OF PROTEST IN LONDON!

Members of the IPSC were joined yesterday by comrades from the Wolfe Tone Society and the Connolly Association (in a personal capacity) in a protest outside the Irish Embassy in London to highlight the victimisation of POW Noel Maguire.
A letter was handed in addressed to the new Irish Ambassador David Cooney deploring the treatment of Noel Maguire and calling on the Department of Justice to reconsider their decision not to allow his repatriation to an Irish prison.
Later in the afternoon leaflets were handed to visitors at the Bord Failte/Irish Tourist Office, and the Passport/Visa office in Knightsbridge outlining Noel's case for repatriation. There was only one incident when the police moved us on from the Bord Failte office claiming we were causing an obstruction. No arrests were made and the protest ended at 15.00 hrs.
The committee and members wish to thank all those who turned up and took part in the day of action for Noel. It's very much appreciated.
We thank also our friends in Sweden who did their own protest for Noel in Stockholm on the day, and our sister organisation the Irish Political-Status Coalition in USA - who organised protests etc in many parts of the United States on Noels behalf.
Go raibh maith agat aris!
We understand also a protest was held in Scotland organised by the Scottish Socialist Republican Movement. Details to follow.
Photos of yesterdays day of action will be available on-line in near future.
