Subject: Prisoner on protest

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN-PLEASE WATCH THE WATCH FOR UPDATE/S

We have learnt that an Irish republican prisoner in Full Sutton jail has gone on protest and will be "banged-up" on a 24/7 basis, with all rights denied, including telephone contact with his family and friends. We have been told that the Irish Embassy, the ICPO, and Foreign Affairs in Dublin are being contacted.

This sentenced long-term prisoner, from Co. Fermanagh, is complaining because others have been transferred to a jail of their choice, even though his application was lodged a considerable time before them. He feels he is being discriminated against, yet again, not only by the British authorities, but also those based in Dublin. The latter have turned down his application, FOUR TIMES, to be repatriated to Portlaoise Jail. At this juncture we believe he wishes to be moved to WHITEMOOR, in England, to be closer to those who visit him.

The October 5th Association, a network of 1968 civil rights veterans and supporters, have been working on his case and others, seeking repatriation to Ireland, over recent years. All those jailed with him have since been repatriated. We believe him to be in a very dangerous location as he was knifed in the past by two non-Irish prisoners. We have been promised updates from those campaigning on his behalf in London, and will await the fuller picture before deciding on what action we should take in a bid to secure that his wishes are met ASAP.

Please re-cirulate to friends who may be interested in the plight of this prisoner, and all others who feel that their rights are being trampled upon, either here or in England, or elsewhere.

If you wish to assist in any way please write to our association via rights.civil@googlemail.com
