On Saturday 5th December Irish Republicans in Newry will be holding a white line picket to show solidarity with all Republican prisoners and their families. We will be highlighting various injustices being inflicted upon them such as 28 day detention, Internment by remand, political policing, and we will also be calling for the restoration of political status. December is traditionally prisoner’s month in the Republican calendar and it will be a particularly hard time of year for the prisoners and their families.
Political policing is also being used all across the 6 counties, many Republicans including former POWs, the families of POWs and indeed high profile Republicans have been victims of this type of harassment.
It has recently been revealed that there were roughly 12,000 stop and search incidents over a 3 month period, and it works out that an average of 110 stop and search incidents are carried out everyday by the RUC/PSNI. This draconian tactic will also be raised at the picket along with the prisoner issues.
The picket will take place on Saturday 5th December in Bridge St, Newry, it will take place from 2pm -3pm.
All Republicans are welcome to attend
Newry/South Down Republicans
