Magee Sinn Féin Protest for Release of IRA POWs

Magee Sinn Féin Bernard O’ Hagan Cumman held a protest on Campus on Tuesday 9th December to highlight to students the on-going imprisonment of Political Prisoners both in Ireland, America, the Basque Country and Palestine.


Chair of Magee Adrian Óg Kelly said,

“December is a well know time when we particularly think of our prisoners and show solidarity with them, today there are prisoners in jail in the 6 counties and 26 counties who should have been released following the ending of the IRA’s armed campaign, we also remember our comrades who are in jail in the Basque country from SEGI, The Miami Five who are imprisoned in America as well as Leonard Peltier, and all our other comrades who have been imprisoned internationally.”

“The protest which drew a lot of attention on campus also drew the attention of the security, who harassed and tried to cancel the peaceful protest, but we carried on regardless, and their petty actions did not take the feeling of solidarity away from the event.”
