Ógra Shinn Féin say that 3 years following the ending of the IRA armed campaign all excuses have been removed for the two governments to continue their imprisonment of IRA POWs.
Kerry McColgan of West Tyrone Ógra Shinn Féin said:
“It is totally unacceptable that three years on from the IRA’s declaration of an end to the armed campaign we still have men in prison for their role in that political conflict.
“Throughout the weekend we have been active in our opposition to the continued imprisonment of our comrades at the behest of the Dublin and London governments. As well as actions happening in Omagh and Strabane there are numerous events happening nationwide stretching from Co Cork to Co Derry. At these protests we once again call for the release of our political prisoners.”

“This Christmas, we also remember our international comrades who remain imprisoned for their role in anti imperialist struggles. Foremost in our minds are over 750 pro independence Basque prisoners held by the Spanish and French governments”
“We are now 10 years on from the signing of the Good Friday agreement which had provision for the early release of political prisoners; it is completely unacceptable that IRA political prisoners remain incarcerated given this. Until these prisoners walk free we in Ógra Shinn Féin will continue to campaign and agitate for their release.”

Stop being such a parnickity ****!
The protest was successful in raising awareness and popularising support for the POWs.
Go away and do something productive yourself, stop sniping from the sidelines.
