    FREEDOM FOR TERRY McCAFFERTY !


    IRISH FREEDOM COMMITTEE NEWSLIST




    Thursday December 25, 2008


    TERRY McCAFFERTY INTERNMENT HIGHLY SUSPECT

    The Irish Freedom Committee has received further information regarding the December 22 arrest of Terry McCafferty, confirming our earlysuspicions that this is merely the final step in an on-going campaignof harassment and persecution by British security forces since his November release.


    As Terry and his wife Martine returned to Belfast airport in the early hours of Monday morning, from a long-awaited holiday to the Canary Islands, they were confronted and surrounded by police - one of whom audibly said "this is them here". Without explanation, Terry was led away as five police surrounded Martine, refusing to allow her to go with him as he was taken away. After repeated appeals to find out why her husband was being detained, Martine was bizarrely told by police that Terry's "license was revoked" – meaning that he would be sent back to prison to serve six more years of his full sentence. When she asked why, police told her "we don't have to explain that to you"; and that he was being taken to Antrim police barracks to be sent back to Maghaberry prison in the morning.



    The Irish Freedom Committee asks; how is it that police can make this determination, where no crime has been committed? We can only view this arrest as highly suspect, considering the pointedly unusual circumstances and timing of these events.


    Terry was taken on Monday to Maghaberry Gaol, where he had been finally discharged after over six years' internment only weeks before. Instead of being returned to Roe House, where he had been housed with other Irish republican political prisoners; on Monday he was put in with the criminal population. Terry immediately refused food, demanding to be housed with political prisoners. After many efforts outside the prison, Terry was moved to Roe house at the end of the day on Monday.



    Since his release, Terry has lived an exemplar life trying to catch upon missed time with his family of five boys and Martine. As she told us, "He goes to bed at 8:00, that's what he's used to inside. He'staken a course with ex-POWs. He's spending time with the kids."


    On his last Christmas home, while on early release, police repeatedly knocked at their door after one in the morning; well after he and his family were asleep. Martine tells us, "He was tortured. It was mental abuse."


    Yet since his release only weeks ago, "Terry's watched 24-7; peeler sare parked outside the door".



    This month several family members were stopped and cars searched while driving on errands, including a young son who had just earned his drivers certificate. Martine tells us, "They are trying to break the family." Anyone who knows Martine and McCaff, knows this is next to impossible.


    On this being Terry's first chance out in over six years to have a normal Christmas with his family of five young boys, only the most base and perverse reasons apply to this kind of security forces harassment.



    "This was well planned to mess up Christmas", Martine tells us. "It's a kick in the teeth. It's a form of internment – back to the 60's and 70's."


    The Irish Freedom Committee views the circumstances and timing of Terry's arrest as highly suspect. On what 'information' and with what powers can police revoke the license of a released republican prisoner, where no crime has been committed? Is this merely a sick ploy to take this man away from his family for another Christmas, knowing full well that his lawyers' offices will be closed throughout the Christmas and New Years' holidays?


    Martine has told us, "If I have to travel to every county of Ireland to tell this story, I will."


    Please watch for more details, and recommended actions for US supporters, in coming days.

    JUSTICE FOR TERRY McCAFFERTY






    32 County Sovereignty Movement
    22/12/2008


    FREE TERRY McCAFFERTY NOW

    The 32 County Sovereignty Movement call for the immediate release of North Belfast Republican Terry McCafferty who was returned to Maghaberry gaol last night just four weeks after being released having served half of a 12 year sentence for his part in Republican activity in Belfast.

    Terry McCafferty was returning from a holiday in Spain with his family when he was arrested and told he was being returned to Maghaberry having had his license revoked by British secretary of state Paul Goggins.

    The 32 County Sovereignty Movement view this action as blatant harassment of a Republican and his family just before Christmas. We have little doubt that there is no reason to revoke Terry's license and we believe it may be a spiteful reaction to the release of the Derry 4 last Friday. It is quite clear that MI5 did not get the result they wanted in the Special Criminal Court in Dublin and they have ordered that Terry be imprisoned due to the fact that he has been recently released and his first Christmas with his family for years is approaching, It was designed to cause maximum misery to Republicans

    The 32 County Sovereignty Movement call on all Republicans to unite to ensure that this spiteful action be overturned immediately.

    Noel Maguire Update

    Noel Maguire Update

    a cairde

    Last week we sent emails to each and every TD in the Dail drawing their attention to Noels case and asking them to intervene to bring Noel home, We have had a lot of favorable results a few members have tabled parliamentary questions to Minister For Justice regarding Ministerial action in this case. We have followed up on the responses by email and phone; we thank our members and friends who wrote on Noels behalf.



    Last week Noel was visited by embassy official Tony McCullagh, McCullagh told Noel the Justice Ministry were not likely to repatriate him because he is separated from Sharon (His Wife) she is not considered to be his next of kin - and as both his children are under eighteen she is looked on as their custodian. This is an absurd viewpoint and seems to now strip Noel of his fatherhood as well as his rights as an Irish citizen to be moved closer to his family, we will be contacting Fathers Rights groups and seek their help in challenging this view held by the Irish Government.

    But what it does mean now is Noel is not likely to see his two children until he is eventually released - and that's years away why are the children being punished by this persistent refusal to repatriate Noel to within easy visiting distance of them.

    It is a sad reflection on a Government that have lost any sense of doing the right thing as the humane and morally correct decision would be think of Noels children and not punish them. His children have a father; the Minister is standing in the way of allowing any relationship to be built and his reasoning is flawed.

    This week we are targeting the Media who are conspicuous in their absence on Noels case despite the humanitarian aspect of the case, a father who is being denied the opportunity to be closer to his children and not having seen them for 9 years. We have sent the following to every media outlet we were able to find in Ireland, Europe, US, Canada and Australia, we ask that our members and friends write their own letters to their local papers pointing out the facts of Noels case.

    We are also putting out Noels story and the facts on the case to Indy media around the world. Please take a few moments to write to your local media and express disgust at the way he is being treated.

    Need help with this or any questions please contact friendsofnoelmaguir e@live.com

    ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -

    TO MEDIA

    We are drawing the media's attention to the fact that the Irish Minister for Justice Equality and Law Reform Dermot Ahern has once again denied an Irish citizen the ability to return home to serve his sentence in an Irish Jail which is allowed for under a European directive. The friends of Noel Maguire are a group of concerned people who have came together to right this wrong. Noel is being denied repatriation on the basis of a lie, that being he has closer ties to the Britain than to Ireland. Noel's immediate kin live in Carlow. All the information is available on our website: http://friendsofnoe lmaguire. webnode.com/

    Last week, our members and supporters wrote to each and every TD of the 30th Dail asking them to intervene in Noel Maguire's case - if not for Noel, then for the sake of his children who have not seen their father in over 9 years. We have received some favorable responses. This is a humanitarian story - the politics are of little or no relevance. It is about allowing an Irish citizen the opportunity to return to Ireland and attempt to build a relationship with his children. Please allow us to address your readers with the following letter.

    Yours Sincerely,

    Friends of Noel Maguire

    ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -

    Dear Editor:

    Through your paper, may we draw your reader's attention to the case of Noel Maguire? Noel Maguire has been refused again for repatriation (The ability to be repatriated to the country of your citizenship to serve a prison sentence on humanitarian grounds as laid down by the European Directive). He has been fighting to be returned home for over 5 years; all his co-accused have already been repatriated to Ireland.

    The Irish authorities claim wrongly that Noel has closer ties to the United Kingdom than to an Irish jurisdiction despite Noel's having a wife, and a son and daughter, living in County Carlow. This is Noel's immediate kith and kin.

    The lack of compassion shown by the Minister responsible in refusing Noel's request to be closer to his wife and 2 children is disconcerting and very cavalier. For a Minister elected to look out for the well being of all Irish citizens, in this case he has abandoned the opportunity to reunite a family and allow them some chance at rebuilding their lives, as is the purpose of the European Repatriation directive.

    Noel should be repatriated on the following grounds:

    He is an Irish citizen and holds a current Irish passport, issued in Dublin.

    He easily qualifies for repatriation under the European directive, which allows prisoners to be moved back to their own country to serve their sentence closer to their family for purely humanitarian reasons.

    There was an attempt to murder Noel in 2006 in which he received serious knife wounds. If left alone and isolated his life would be constantly under threat! His physical and mental well being is in jeopardy if the Irish Government refuses him the right to be brought home to serve his sentence in an Irish Jail.

    He has not seen his children in 9 years.

    Glasgow Footballers Protest British Imperialism

    Saturday 8 November - Protest against British Imperialism ! Glasgow!

    Celtic Park, Glasgow, 8 November 2008


    Photobucket

    The Revolutionary Communist Group salutes the principled Celtic football supporters who led the protest against British imperialism outside Celtic Park today. In the face of an intense propaganda campaign waged by the government and risking demonisation by the media hundreds of fans walked out of the game in opposition to the clubs support for the British Legion and its annual poppy appeal. Around 400 fans gathered outside the stadium for over an hour chanting slogans and singing songs against British imperialism in Ireland and around the world. As one protester put it to FRFI, ‘we are here protesting for peace, not war. But peace can only come when there is justice.’

    This latest development is a part of a conscious ideological offensive by the British state and its lackeys in order to encourage support for British imperialism and to eradicate any opposition to it. The appointment of the war criminal John Reid to the chairmanship of Celtic FC is part of this ideological offensive. During his time in office, the current Labour member of parliament and former British cabinet member, ruthlessly defended the interests of British imperialism acting as Defence Secretary, Home Secretary and British Direct Ruler to Ireland.

    Today’s demonstration was called by the newly formed group Celts Against Imperialism and was an explicit protest in opposition to not only British imperialism in Ireland but also included chants in opposition to the war in Iraq and Afghanistan and also support for the Palestinian Resistance. The RCG recognises the political significance of today’s protest led by a section of the Celtic support on a clear anti imperialist basis. This protest comes despite the failure of the anti war movement in Glasgow and elsewhere to build any real and meaningful opposition against British imperialism. Fight Racism! Fight Imperialism! and the RCG were the only political group on the left to support the protest alongside Celts Against Imperialism.



    The protest continues the traditions of Celtic fans opposition to imperialism and injustice. One Celtic fan was ejected from the stadium today and had his season ticket confiscated by stewards for refusing to remove his Palestinian flag. The fan spoke to FRFI afterwards and intends to fight this action by the club. Only by actively campaigning in support of democratic rights can we assert our right organise. Over recent years FRFI has campaigned against the attempted bans on the sale of political literature outside football grounds and the attempts to ban and censor the image of Latin American revolutionary Che Guevara. In the context of the international capitalist crisis which will see increasing attacks on working class people in this country and around the world, the RCG and FRFI stands with any movement which represents the interests of the oppressed.
