CELTIC LEAGUE - PRESS INFORMATION.

An Irishman was arrested in County Meath last week pending an application for his extradition to Lithuania on 'terrorism' charges.

Seamus McGreevy could be extradited to Lithuania to answer charges of terrorism along with Liam Campbell who is already in custody in Ireland. Mr McGreevy - who says he has never been to Lithuania - is the third Irishman to be caught up in the web of terrorism allegations that is being spun by the security services of England and Lithuania.
Michael Campbell, who is the brother of liam Campbell, has been held in detention in Lithuania without charge for over twelve months.

Michael Campbell was arrested in 2008 in Vilnius, Lithuania for allegedly trying to buy contraband cigarettes and/or arms and has been kept in detention in a lithuanian jail ever since. In a letter that was forwarded to the League in December 2008, Michael Campbell wrote about the difficult conditions that he was being kept under and complained that he had also been refused contact with his wife (who was also arrested last January, but later released) and other family members.

The Celtic League wrote to the Irish Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressing it's concern about the welfare of Michael Campbell in a Lithuanian state prison system that has been heavily criticized for the ill-treatment of it's prisoners in the past by the Council of Europe Committee for the Prevention of Torture (CPT).

The Celtic League has written once again to the Irish Ministry of Foreign Affairs to request that the extradition of Liam Campbell and Seamus McGreevy is not carried out. In the letter the League advised that if the Irish government agreed to the arrest warrants and extradition was granted it could be in breach of Article 3 of the european Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
