Ógra Shinn Féin organised two very successful vigils calling for the immediate release of 1983 Long Kesh Escapee Pól Brennan in Belfast and Dublin on Tuesday 14 October.
Pól’s family where in attendance at the Belfast vigil, and both event’s attracted great support, from passer’s by.
Placards where held high by supporters while hundreds of information leaflets where distributed encouraging the public to get involved in the campaign by attending future events, signing the petition, and writing to the media in protest at Pól’s ongoing imprisonment.

(GPO, Dublin)National Organiser of Ógra Shinn Féin, Barry McColgan said,
“Public events are key to raising awareness around Pól’s ongoing injustice. He has been imprisoned for over 10 months, and now faces deportation over a small misunderstanding on his visa. The support we received from the public tonight was especially comforting to the family, and demonstrates the value of such events.”
“We intend to keep the spotlight on Pól’s denial of basic freedom, and we will continue to campaign for his release and ensuring he is not deported. We would urge everyone to keep updated and join the campaign through http://www.polbrennan.com/; together we will secure Pól’s freedom!”
