Ógra calls for the release of Brendan Lillis



Ógra Shinn Féin call for the release of Brendan Lillis who is being held in Maghaberry Prison despite being seriously ill. As an act of compassion Ógra call on Justice Minister David Ford to release Brendan Lillis into the care of his family.

Sinn Féin MLA Jennifer McCann after a recent visit to Brendan Lillis in the prison hospital said,

He should be released immediately on humanitarian grounds as clearly he is no danger to the public. If he is released he can avail of medical treatment in a hospital setting surrounded by his family, not as currently is the case where he is held in an inadequate room which is virtually a cell as part of the prison hospital clinic.”
