Letter from POW Harry Fitzsimmons



Since Harry wrote this letter he was removed from his comrades by the riot squad for daring to speak to a screw through a locked door.

A gang of thugs in full riot gear entered Harry's cell and dragged him off the wing to a waiting van, once inside they gave him a severe beating, he was then taken to the punishment block.

His clothes were torn and cut from him and he was chained like an animal to the bedframe. That evening a priest was permitted to have a short visit with Harry, afterwards he contacted Harry's family to update them on his condition and confirmed that all of this was in fact true.

The following morning harry was once again visited by these thugs and while he remained chained to the bed he once again received their justice.

This morning word was sent out from the gaol that Harry is coughing up blood and has a suspected broken rib. he is dressed only in his boxer shorts and the heating and water is turned off.

WE URGE ALL THOSE WHO WANT TO SEE AN END TO INCIDENTS LIKE THIS TO JOIN THE PROTEST AT MAGHABERRY GAOL THIS SUNDAY AT 4PM

  1. This is a very good post...thank you for posting it up. They need to know that there is a lot of support for them outside not just by Irish people and everything about Maghaberry jail is all over the Internet. I just wish Sinn Fein would help...at least try to push for human rights to end this treatment.
